The Phoenix Suns, who are number one in the league, can maintain excellent competitiveness with or without Paul and Booker, which is a trait that a top team should have. The same goes for the Memphis Grizzlies, who, without Morant, played a 90 percent chance of winning. As for the Golden State Warriors, it seemed a bit bad, and after Curry's absence, it lost 7-6. This game, they will face the league number one Phoenix Suns at home, winning, is almost impossible.
But even so, the Warriors will not stand still, Iguodala ushered in a comeback in this game, Dream Green and Klay Thompson will also play, it can be said that in addition to Stephen Curry can not play, the Warriors came up with the strongest lineup.
In the first quarter, the Warriors played half a quarter and only scored 7 points, the Suns once took an 11-point lead, but in the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors began to exert their strength, Poole shot 6 of 7, 4 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 5 serves, 15 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in a single quarter, showing an unparalleled offensive state, leading the Warriors to keep chasing, Wiggins also had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, the Warriors scored 32 points in the first quarter, and the Suns only scored 29 points.
From trailing by 11 points at one point to rebounding by 3 points, the Warriors only took half a quarter. Booker had 11 points and one rebound in the first quarter, Bridges had 10 points and one rebound, and Paul had 2 points and six assists. After returning from the second quarter, the Warriors' offense began to return to normal, scoring only 16 points in a single quarter, including Wiggins with 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, and Poole only had 2 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist on 0-of-5 shooting. Fortunately, the Suns' offense also began to decline, scoring only 21 points in this quarter, Paul had 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, and Bridges had 7 points and 2 rebounds.
So, at the end of the half, the Phoenix Suns still beat the Warriors by two points at 50-48. For the Suns, the performance in the first half was somewhat unsatisfactory, Bridges became the team's top scorer, 17 points and 3 rebounds on 7-of-9 shooting, constantly ravaging the Warriors' front line, Booker only had 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 20-of-10 shooting, and Ayton was 6 points and 8 rebounds on 3-of-10 shooting. Paul had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, and obviously did not make a start.
The Warriors were able to retain suspense in the first half, somewhat surprisingly. Poole became the team's leading scorer, with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 6-of-12 shooting, Wiggins played steadily, also had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, as for Klay Thompson, only 4 points on 2-of-10 shooting, which was obviously a drag. Dream Green had 4 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Iguodala on the bench had 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and Cuminga played 5 minutes, except for 1 turnover, there was no other data.
