The NBA semifinals officially began, and the Warriors beat the Grizzlies 117-116 on the road to make the start and lead 1-0.
Both teams played well in this game, playing until the last minute to divide the winner and loser, and at key moments, the field is also rapidly changing, and every attack can change the situation. In the last minute, the two teams also sent a wonderful confrontation, and the plot was also very exciting.
When the game entered the final minute, the Grizzlies took a two-point lead with Clark's goal, and the pressure came to the Warriors' side. First Thompson missed three-pointers from the outside, fortunately Wiggins grabbed the offensive rebound, Curry got the opportunity to shoot the empty three-point shot, but unfortunately still did not hit, fortunately, the Warriors seized the opportunity again, Thompson and Brooks competed for the ball. Thompson didn't scramble for the ball, but Brooks hit the ball out of bounds, and the Warriors regained 24 seconds to attack.
This time the Warriors did not miss another opportunity, the outside Line Thompson received the ball first with a fake action point to fly Bane, and then a three-point shot, the ball was steadily hit, the Warriors rebounded by 1 point, leading 117-116. The Grizzlies still have a chance, Morant holds the ball to face Curry's defense, he chose to break through the basket, but unfortunately was directly hated by Curry, the Grizzlies can only choose to foul, but they still have a chance.
Curry's defense at key moments was still good, and he directly gave Morant a hot pot. Then Thompson was fouled and went to the free throw line, this is his first free throw in this game, from the previous situation, Thompson's free throw is still very accurate, but this time he missed two free throws, the probability is also very low. Maybe the Grizzlies didn't want to, when scrambling for rebounds, they were out of bounds, the referee gave the ball, and finally the Grizzlies got the ball and successfully got a chance to kill.
The Grizzlies' tactics are also very clear, that is, to hand the ball into Morant's hands, first Clark receives the ball, then Morant receives the ball directly under the basket, then in the face of Thompson's defense, he failed to send the ball into the basket. Without scoring the kill, Morant was also very frustrated, standing under the basket all the time, his eyes a little sluggish.
The two teams played well in this game, but unfortunately there was only one winner, Morant became an empty cut, handing over 34 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists; the Warriors' side of Curry 24 points, Thompson 17 points, the offensive feel is not good, but their last-minute defense is still very critical.
