This season's regular season showdown has come to an end, and the strongly rising Golden State Warriors have once again blown the clarion call to charge the championship. After two consecutive years of missing the playoffs, the once-glorious Warriors are finally back on the right track. However, we have to worry about their star Curry! Since suffering an injury to a foot ligament in mid-March, the team has yet to welcome Curry's return. During this period, the Golden State Warriors also suffered a lot of blows, falling to the third place in the West.
In this game, head coach Cole pulled the team to San Antonio and took on the Spurs on the road. The Spurs, who have always refused to mess up, have also been given the opportunity to impact the playoffs again this season. If the Warriors want to win the game easily, it may not be so simple. At the beginning of the game, the two teams competed fiercely, and the score was once in a state of staggered lead. The Spurs took the lead in breaking the awkward start of the game, hitting a 2-pointer, but then the Warriors counterattacked.
However, Curry was absent due to injury, Klay continued to take a break, and the Warriors were able to play a 23-21 single-quarter score with the help of the rest of the players on the team to get a two-point lead. Achieving the feat of domination, the Warriors can still follow the trend after entering the second quarter of the showdown, and continue to widen the point difference between the two teams. Kuminga, who came off the bench, showed his might in the second quarter, sending 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals with 100% shooting rate of 4 shots, and dream green, who started the game, also had 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, which helped the team play another 31-23 score.
At the end of the first half, the Warriors were already 54-44, leading the Spurs by a crucial 10 points. Jordan Poole, who was temporarily the commander of the stadium, was in a state of flux in the first half, and actually delivered a poor shooting rate of 7 out of 0. However, he has a 7-assist statistic contribution, effectively combing the team's overall offense and helping other players in the team score. I have to admit that they have always maintained a lead in the first half of the competition, or have to praise the substitute Cuminga.
There was no chance to play in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, with a 100% shooting rate of 4 of 4 shots, he sent a comprehensive data of 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, making a lot of contributions at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Of course, the Spurs, who played at home, also had bench scorers in the first half of the competition. Lonnie Walker can also send 13 points and 2 rebounds in the halftime, effectively alleviating the team's scoring pressure. However, Murray, Kelden Johnson, and Bolter and other starting cores have been absent one after another, and the Warriors' offensive efficiency is still slightly insufficient.
The game continues, with the Warriors taking a double-digit lead at home to spurs and perhaps more likely to win the game, but we definitely can't underestimate Popovich's ability to lead the team. Looking forward to a more exciting matchup in the second half.
