On April 3, the NBA regular season ended a pivotal card battle in the West, with the Warriors beating the Jazz in a home comeback to end their recent four-game losing streak. In this game, the Warriors were behind at the beginning, although the third quarter chased points madly to narrow the score gap, but helplessly in the last quarter could not limit the opponent's three-pointer, and the contrast was pulled open. At the critical moment, Klay broke out, hit consecutive three-pointers, Poole threw a counter-over three-pointer, the Warriors a wave of 18-0 rebound score, the Warriors withstood the pressure, successfully won the victory, and also locked the playoff seat.
Pre-game Warriors reporter Anthony Slater said that this game Cole will send all the players who can play, after playing the Jazz back-to-back battle kings, Klay, Iguodala, Green and Porter all rest, winning will advance to the playoffs at the same time the top four hopes are great, once lost, the Warriors' final ranking is likely to be 5-6 in the West.
It is clear that Cole's goal is to defeat the Jazz in this desperate fight, then crush the opponent's hope of breaking into the top four, and then complete the task and then take a back-to-back break. It is clear that Kerr's gamble was successful, and without Curry, this Warriors chased The Dream Green, Klay and Poole played together, they performed strongly, withstood the pressure in the predicament, ended the recent 4 consecutive defeats, and were not overtaken by the Lone Ranger, which is critical.
Now the Warriors' record is 49 wins and 29 losses, 48 wins and 30 losses ahead of the Lone Rangers, the two teams have played each other 4 times, and the Warriors are at a disadvantage of 1 win and 3 losses, so in the case of the same record, the Warriors are ranked low, and they want to ensure the top three, they must have an advantage in the record. The Jazz are 46-32 and the Nuggets are 46-32, and the Warriors' top four hopes are very high.
So now Kerr has fulfilled his promise and crushed the Jazz's idea of attacking the top four, and then it is tomorrow's back-to-back game against the Kings, they can consider letting Clay and others take turns, because now the top four positions are more stable, and if Clay and others play continuously, they will increase the risk of injury. According to the original plan, even if it loses to the Kings, it can maintain the pressure on the Jazz and Nuggets
Also looking forward to the next Warriors' performance and Kerr's adjustment, the regular season stage Curry has determined that he will not play, he will return in the playoffs, but the regular season Warriors also need a good ranking and a good ending, the current end of the 4-game losing streak, is very critical for the Warriors.
