The NBA regular season continues, with the Spurs playing at home against the Warriors, and the pre-game positions of both sides have been locked, which is an inconsequential game, but it is still a classic defensive battle. In the first quarter of the game, the Spurs playing at home felt better, the mid-quarter point difference has reached double digits, but the Warriors are not a team to be slaughtered, and after playing two waves of small climaxes at the end of the quarter, they led by 2 points at the end of the first quarter; in the second quarter, Walker and Bechary fought, and the point difference has been floating around the points, but the Second Half warriors feel better, the point difference has opened to double digits, and the Spurs are 10 points behind in the first half. In the third quarter, the Warriors took advantage of the chase to open the point difference by 17 points, however, the Spurs did not want to show weakness, the end of the quarter responded to a wave of 7-0, after three quarters, the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with a 6-point advantage; the final quarter of the dispute, Primo broke out a single person scored 7 consecutive points to narrow the point difference to 2 points, at the critical moment, Poole stepped forward to stabilize the situation, and finally, the Warriors beat the Spurs 100-94.
In this game, the two sides fought a big defensive battle, and the shooting rate of both teams was not satisfactory, of which the Warriors shot 40.7% overall and only 25% of the three-point shooting rate. The Spurs shot just 40 percent from the field and slightly better three-point range, though only 32 percent. While the Warriors scored in double figures, none of them scored 20 points. Although Pooler made a contribution in the key moments of the fourth quarter, he only shot 3 of 19 from the field, including 11 of 11 three-pointers, which is obviously the mode of wave shooting. The Warriors' best performer was veteran Green, who had a quasi-triple-double of 12 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, which was the team's offensive continuation and defensive gate. In addition, Cuminga also performed well, scoring 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the game. It is worth mentioning that after the game, Green thought that Poole could beat Morant to win the fastest improvement award of the season, but the feel of the game was completely absent, only 3 of 19 shots, and the fans were blushing at Green's remarks.
On the Spurs side, the best performer was Walker, who came off the bench, scoring 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting, and the only player on both teams to score more than 20 points. He also said after the game that we were ready and would stay focused in the play-offs. In addition, the youngster Primo's performance is also remarkable, shooting 5 of 13 in the whole game, including 14 points on 3 of 6 three-pointers, and he said very modestly after the game that the schedule has helped me a lot and I will become a better player. Although they lost a game, the Spurs are still alive and more importantly, they are confident in the playoffs. The Spurs will play against the Pelicans in the playoffs, and while McCollum has improved the team's strength, the Spurs are more resilient and I personally believe the Spurs are more likely to qualify for the playoffs.
