On May 10, the NBA playoffs continued, and although the Warriors did not perform well at home, G4 trailed by a full 47 minutes against the Grizzlies without Morant, but still relied on Curry's final-quarter burst to win. In this way, the Warriors have a 3-1 lead over the Grizzlies in the series, and after winning the game point, they can advance to the Western Conference Finals if they win one more game. Curry scored 18 points in the last quarter, and the continuous and stable free throws in the final stage were the biggest contributors to the Warriors' reversal and victory, although Klay, Poole and others did not perform well, but the team won the most practical.
The ratings of this game have also been released, and the overall rating is 0.5740%, ranking fourth in the same time period. The peak time of the ratings appeared in the second half of the game, the ratings were 0.6696%, ranking third in the country in the same time period.
Such data has a significant decline, compared with other competitions in this group of series, it can be seen that the G2 peak rating is as high as 0.8291%, the first in the country in the same time period. Even in the United States, warriors vs Grizzlies G1, the highest peak audience reached 10.2 million is a high number.
The reason why the ratings of G4 are low is directly related to Morant's failure to play, and Morant was injured in G3, and the previous news was that G4 had a high probability of not playing. First of all, Morant has a huge popularity, everyone wants to see him fight Curry, without Morant, the attraction drops a lot. Secondly, the Grizzlies do not have Morant, which makes many people feel before the game that this powerful Warriors against the Grizzlies who have lost their core, the overall advantage is too large, the suspense of victory and defeat is further reduced, and the attention is not as high as the previous two teams fighting stage.
This is also understandable, the biggest attraction before the start of the division semifinals is the peak showdown between the Celtics and the Bucks, but with the Grizzlies G1 losing the kill, G2 defeated the Warriors, so everyone also saw the resilience of this dark horse, so when G3 came, the Grizzlies and Warriors' game attention was extremely high. However, with the G3 Grizzlies' away rout and Morante's injury, the balance of this series has been clearly biased in favor of the Warriors, so in this season's division semifinals, only the Warriors and Grizzlies played 3-1, and the other three groups were 2-2 to King Mountain.
For the NBA league, it is definitely hoping to see more exciting games, so that the attention will be higher, and it is also good for the promotion of the NBA. Especially the next three groups of Tennoyama battles and the likely arrival of the seven battles, because it is the reason for the key matches, so the ratings will definitely be guaranteed. As for the Warriors' 3-1 lead over the Grizzlies, the suspense of this round of the series has basically disappeared, and the probability of the Warriors eliminating the Grizzlies is extremely high, and the suspense is not great.
