Today the Warriors continued to play against the Grizzlies at home, this game Morante was unable to play due to injury, and the Warriors finally narrowly beat the Grizzlies by 3 points to win the fourth game of the series. The score came to 3:1. The Warriors only need to win one more game to end the series.
The performance of most of the Warriors' players in this game was very sluggish, and today Thompson shot 0-of-7 from outside the three-point line, Jordan Poole shot 3-of-0 from outside the three-point line, and Wiggins shot 1-of-5 from outside the three-point line. Curry's three-point shooting percentage today is also not high, only 4-of-14 shooting. But Curry single-handedly carried the offensive flag at the last critical moment to help the Warriors reverse the game, which can be said to be the greatest achievement. In fact, in addition to Curry's excellent performance, Otto Porter, who came off the bench today, also has a very good performance, and he is also a relatively stable performance of the Warriors.
Today, Otterport scored 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting and 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line. In the face of the Warriors' overall three-point range outside the sluggish situation, Otto Porter shot the Warriors' first three-pointer. The Warriors scored nine three-pointers as a whole, four by himself, and in the middle of the game, Otto Porter's performance outside the three-point line allowed the Warriors to engage in a score-stalemate with the Grizzlies. Without Otto Porter's 4 three-pointers, the Warriors may have fallen behind the Grizzlies by a large margin in the fourth quarter, and the final victory or defeat is really unpredictable, it can be said that these 4 three-pointers are really worth a lot.
Porter didn't just help the team on the offensive end, he also spared no effort on the defensive end. He struggled to grab rebounds under the basket and gave away two steals. It can be said that today's Otto Porter's credit is no less than Curry's, and he also deserves everyone's praise.
After Otto Porter ended last season, he signed a one-year pay contract with the Warriors. His contract will expire completely in the offseason this year, and many fans believe that the Warriors' extension of his contract in the offseason is basically a foregone conclusion. He really fits the Warriors' system too well.
It's true that Otto Porter's style of play is very good for the Warriors, he is a tall player with strong shooting ability. So he can be part of the Warriors' five-in-five lineup. Kerr used Otterport on the court as a member of the five small lineups in many cases, which played a very good role in opening up space and defending. In addition, the scramble for rebounds in front of Otterport has always been very tough. He should be the first player for the Warriors to complete a contract extension in the offseason. I don't know what the fans think?
