Let's take a look at the startings of the two teams, the Warriors start: Poole, Klay Thompson, Wiggins, Green, Looney, and the Magic starters: Wagner Jr., Carter, Bamba, Hampton, Cole Anthony
In the first half of the game, the Magic team based on the excellent performance of Carter and Anthony, both the inside and outside lines played a relatively smooth coordination, especially Carter's play in rebounding, which was an important contributor to the team's lead in the first half. In the first two quarters, the Magic played 25-17, 21-21, leading the Warriors by 8 points on aggregate.
In the second half, the Warriors' three major stars burst out, and Pooler, Green and Porter joined forces to make the third quarter score 36-19, thus achieving a rebound.
In the fourth quarter, the magic team that was behind the score needed to have one person to stand up, that person was Carter, and in the last two minutes, the score of the two teams was very tight, at which point Carter scored in the inside basket to stabilize the situation. In the final 45 seconds, the same Carter grabbed the rebound and played a key role. In the end, the Magic locked in the fourth quarter at 29-16, and the total score was 94-94 to complete this earth-shattering reversal.
