The NBA regular season continues, with the East and West ushering in a strong dialogue, and the Warriors travel to the away game to challenge the Heat.
Since Curry suffered an injury, the Warriors' overall competitiveness has declined severely, losing to the Green Army, Spurs and Magic in a wave of three consecutive losses, losing to the Magic team exposed the team's poor offensive performance in the absence of Curry, because this game is back-to-back, Dream Chaser, Klay and Otto Porter Jr. will also be suspended.
On the other hand, the Heat, although the last game lost to the 76ers, but still ranked first in the East, Hiro could not play in this game, fortunately, the Heat's Butler and other cores were present, and they still had the advantage in hard power.
As soon as the game began, the Home Heat came out on top, with Butler flying in three points to open the heat first.
The Heat then continued to exert efforts and suppressed the Warriors, and although Cuminga once helped the Warriors complete the rebound, the Heat blossomed inside and outside, quickly establishing a double-digit lead.
But at the end of the quarter, the Heat fell into a mute, and the Warriors continued to eat into the point difference, and at the end of the first quarter, they managed to chase the score to 23 draws.
In the second quarter, the two teams continued the state of the second half of the first quarter, and the Warriors took the lead in playing rhythm and establishing a slight lead, but the Warriors, who occupied the advantage of the scene, could not completely shake off the Heat.
In the middle of the quarter, the two teams began to alternate leads, the point difference remained within 5 points, and the lead continued to change hands, which lasted for an entire quarter, and finally the two teams tied again with 50 points and entered the intermission.
Easy side to fight again, the Heat at the beginning of the festival dud, the Warriors blossomed more, in one breath to open up the double-digit point difference.
As a result, the Heat not only failed to give a counterattack, but fell into a long scoring drought, and the point difference was directly pulled up by the Warriors to as many as 19 points.
This caused a conflict within the Heat, haslem and Butler clashed, and even coach Spollstra directly dropped the tactical board.
Such a clash actually inspired the Heat's bloodiness, and for the rest of the third quarter, the team continued to eat into the point difference, and by the end of the third quarter, the Heat had forced the point difference to only 1 point.
Entering the final quarter of the scramble, the Heat team briefly reversed at the beginning of the quarter, the situation was once again controlled by the Warriors, and the Heat could not limit the Warriors' performance on the offensive end.
Don't look at the Warriors' multiple core players are absent, but the role players are multi-point blossoming, constantly hitting three points in the outside line, and the point difference has been pulled back into double digits.
In the end, the Heat saw that the chase was hopeless and gave up the game early, and the Warriors beat the Heat 118-104 to end an embarrassing three-game losing streak.
While the Warriors are third in the West, beating the Heat, who are number one in the East, seems within a reasonable range.
But considering the absence of Dream chaser, Klay, Curry, Iguodala, Otto Porter Jr. and Wiseman, this game is undoubtedly a big upset.
The core of the director's big upset is Poole, who played 39 minutes, shot 10 of 18, and bombed 30 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists.
In addition to Poole, there are three other generals worthy of praise, namely Cuminga, Wiggins and Damien Lee.
Cumminga shot 9-of-17, cut 22 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, a personal plus-minus of the game-high +26, Wiggins slumped in the first half, but went on a rampage in the second half, shooting 8 of 16 from the field, with 22 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and scored 6 consecutive points at key moments to harvest the game.
Damien Lee bottomed out in this game, swept away the previous slump, successively unreasonable three points in the outside line, 5 of 10 shots, bombed 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, can only say that the Warriors finally used the killing move, the depth of the strong lineup is undoubtedly revealed.
