A dozen New York hits! Yang Shaoxia cut down the fourth 45+ of the season
In the first two games against the Knicks this season, the Hawks have not tasted a single win. Today at Madison Garden Square, the Hawks and the Knicks fought a very anxious battle, and finally the visiting team won the New York Giants 117-111, a six-point difference, and won the third victory in the last five games, and it was also the first time since January 10, 2020 that the Hawks had won in the regular season.
In the first two meetings, Yang Shaoxia averaged 31 points and 6 assists per game. In this reunion, Yang Shaoxia's state is still hot, hitting 7 of 15 three-point shots, scoring 45 points with 25 shots (his fourth highest score this season), and becoming the only player to have at least 45 points in four times this season. In addition, Yang Shaoxia also had 8 assists in this game, with a plus-minus of +11, ranking second in the team.
Not only shining on the court, but also off the field Yang Shaoxia did not restrain the edge at all. In a post-game interview, he said he thought the Knicks weren't as imposing at home today as they were in the playoffs last year, and on social media, he also said he felt cool to be back in New York City.
Bogdanovic's 32 points, after Trae Young, were the second-highest scores in the game. Statistics show that in the game where Bogdan scored 30 points, his team has not lost. In the first and third quarters, the Eagles were passive in the game scene, and it was precisely by virtue of Bogdanovic's excellent performance (15 points in the second quarter and 13 points in the fourth quarter) that he caught up with the score, and it can be said that he is the second hero of the Eagles to win in addition to Yang Shaoxia.
Wiggins continues to languish! "Tea Jordan" continued to chop empty
After being turned over by the San Antonio Spurs at their home court in the final moments, the Golden State Warriors once again regretted losing in the last minute, 90-94, the Warriors lost at Amway home to the Second-to-Last Magic in the East, and the number of consecutive losses extended to three.
Without Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors started to become monotonous on the offensive end. The team used a lot of long-range jumpers to complete the finish, and the Warriors were once in a scoring drought. In the first three and a half minutes of the game, the Warriors only scored two points, and in the first quarter, they were pulled away by opponents to a nearly 10-point difference.
Jordan Poole is the only player on the Warriors' team who has the ability to change the formation. In the 40 minutes of playing (Poole is the Warriors' player with the most time in this game), "Tea Jordan" gave his teammates 6 assists, second only to Dream Green. He scored a team-high 26 points in the game, shooting 5-of-13 from three-point range. In the third quarter, the Warriors relied on two offensive waves to turn the score back, and Poole contributed the most in this period, scoring 12 points on 3-of-4 three-pointers in a single quarter, leading the Warriors to a net 17-pointer in the third quarter.
In fact, after Curry's injury, the most important person to come forward should be Andrew Wiggins. However, things always backfire, the last game to play the Spurs, the "mouth brother" shooting rate is only 39%, this game to play magic, the player who has just been selected for the All-Star starter did not even shoot 30% of the shooting rate (19 shots 5, shooting 26%), from the perspective of contribution to the offensive end alone, Wiggins is almost the bottom of the Warriors' main rotation.
Otto Porter has become the player who grabbed the most rebounds in two consecutive games. He grabbed a full 15 rebounds, including five frontcourt rebounds, almost equal to the Magic's entire frontcourt rebounds (six frontcourt boards). In addition, his three-point performance of 2 of 3 also made him the warriors' most reliable outside shooting point.
In the last quarter, the Warriors and Magic frequently made mistakes. But the home team gradually found the rhythm of the game, and Wagner's attack and defense blew the magic's counter-attack horn, and the Magic scored 13 consecutive points in the first half of the final quarter to chase the point difference to one point. Fultz played well in this quarter, scoring 6 points on 3-of-3 shooting in a single quarter. The Magic sent a 29-16 wave of attack in the final quarter to close the game and send it to the Golden State Warriors for their 12th defeat in their last 18 games.
Nuggets avoid losing streak! Mann rose to prominence
The last game at home was beaten by the momentum of the Celtics. Still in their own arena, the Denver Nuggets took on a challenge from their old rival, the Los Angeles Clippers. From six minutes into the game, the Nuggets did not let the visiting team take the lead, and finally Joe's team won 127-115 at home, completed the rebound against the Timberwolves on the leaderboard, and rose back to sixth in the West, and sixth in the division meant that no playoffs were required to enter the first round of the playoffs.
Compared to the Eagles' starting hole digging and filling the hole, the Nuggets are still relatively normal, although their backup guard, Hyland, shot 4 of 6 three-pointers in this game, cut 16 points, and became the second-highest player in the first-year rookie in three-point shooting. But the Nuggets' bench play is still not good, the 40-point bench score is almost equal to the bench's average score per game, but it is exactly 26 points lower than the bench score opposite, Mann suddenly emerged, 7-of-10 shooting, cut 24 points, becoming the Clippers' miracle soldier on the bench this game.
The Nuggets started well, with three of the five players scoring more than 15 points, and none of the five scoring less than 10 points, and Jo bounced back from the slump of the previous game, shooting 9-of-15 and scoring 30 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, the fifth game since March to score at least 30 points. According to relevant statistics, when Jokic scored at least 30 points, the Nuggets' record was 12-4.
