106-101, the Grizzlies held their first home win. It can be said that this game is very important, quite important! If you lose, it is to go to the Chase Center with a 0-2 deficit, the consequences are unimaginable, and now that the big score is tied, the Grizzlies can at least breathe a sigh of relief. Morant played 40 minutes, 15 of 31 shots, 5 of 12 from three points, 12 of 13 from the free throw line, 47 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, it can be said that this is a game that Morant won by himself, because this game is very simple, Morant does not have an obvious helper around him, and even says that it is all up to him in the end.
As soon as Brooks came up, he fouled Payton Jr. in the second degree, Payton Jr. returned to the dressing room, Brooks was sent out on the spot, and Morant was missing a helper. And the last time Jackson was accurate, this game was also tragically limited, only 14 shots 3 to score 12 points, and Jackson is in foul trouble, three and a half has been fouled four times, the fourth quarter has not reached the half quarter, Jackson has six fouls to leave. The best helper around Morant at this time is not someone else, but the substitute Williams, who scored 14 points on 5-of-9, and Morant can only open the personal mode.
And Morant has two words today: God is accurate! Without Payton Jr.'s restrictions, Morant was on the offensive end, cutting points as he wanted. The Warriors grabbed Morant to break through the inside line to score, the Warriors let him shoot Morant can hit three points on the outside, anyway, whether it is a basket offense or a long-distance distance outside the three-point line, Morant is idle walking, playing very easy and simple. And the only player who can limit Morant is the mouth brother, but Morant is very clear, you on Wiggins will play the demolition and change defense, and the rest of the change who Morant is not afraid.
In the last quarter, when Jackson was sent off, Morant's balls were singles, the balls were broken through the middle, the ball was looking for a block to find The point of Pooler, Poole could not prevent Morant, and even Morant shook him down. No way, Morant's physical fitness is too good, the Warriors' guard line simply can't match him in physical confrontation and speed. In the end, Morant's self-confidence came, and even completed a difficult goal against Wiggins, single-handedly locked the victory of the game, the Warriors were a little worse in the last moment, although Curry also continued to break through, but Morant's physical fitness is indeed incomparable to Curry.
So now the series has come to a critical point, what point? That is Payton Jr., although Brooks is a second-level malicious foul, but it does not affect the G3 game he continues to play, but it is different here in the Warriors, Payton Jr. has an elbow injury, whether he can play the next G3 or even say that it is this round of playoffs is not easy to say. If Payton Jr. can't make a comeback, then the Warriors' guard line will always be less of a player who is staring at Morant, Morant may have to name Pooler every game, if so played, Morant may really break out on the venue, and the Warriors will be in trouble.
