On May 4, Beijing time, the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies by 5 points, not only by Morant's 47-point super god performance, but also by the Warriors' sluggish three-point projection of losing to themselves. In this campaign, the Warriors only played 31 iron three-point performances on 7 of 38, while the Grizzlies scored 14 of 45 three-pointers, and the Warriors lost 7 three-pointers and 21 points on the outside line to become the root of the loss.
Such a poor three-point performance by the Warriors has created multiple playoff shame records:
First, according to the statistics of the US data website StatMuse, the Warriors scored 7 of 38 three-pointers and shot as low as 18.4% from the outside, creating a record for the Warriors to shoot more than 20 three-pointers in the history of the playoffs.
Second, the Warriors scored as little as 18.4 percent of the 38-pointers in the playoffs, making it the second lowest record for Kerr's second playoff shooting of at least 25 three-pointers in a single game and a second low of less than 20 percent of the outside shooting since Kerr took charge in the 2014-15 season.
The worst playoff three-point crosshair record in Kerr's coaching era was the first round of G5 games against the Spurs in 2018, when the Warriors made 5-of-27 three-pointers, with only 18.5 percent of the outside crosshairs, but the Warriors narrowly beat the Spurs 99-91 in that game.
The Warriors played a very low outside three-point crosshair, including Curry 3 of 11 three-pointers, Tang Shen 12 of 3-pointers, Wiggins 7 three-pointers 1, Poole 3-pointers 6 of 1, Dream Green and Porter both 3-point 1 of 0, such a sluggish projection became the key to the Warriors' rout, but also to the Warriors to sound the alarm, Kerr should find a way to solve such a problem.
