For the Grizzlies, the strength of this game basically means that the season is almost over. Without Morant, they still took the lead for most of the time. However, the last moment was a failure, in which the referee's decision still caused a lot of controversy, and after the game, it was compared by many fans. But in any case, this does not affect the final result of the game, and the Grizzlies have no way back.
Without Morant, the Grizzlies' strategy is also clear, that is, to frantically attack your Warriors' inside line. The Grizzlies opened with a double-high formation of Jaren Jr. and Adams, and indeed achieved unexpected results on the defensive end. The Warriors' three-point shooting rate in the first half was 0-of-15, but the Grizzlies were not good enough to take, and tonight's theme was to play iron. In this way, the Grizzlies, who have the advantage on the inside line, still control the rhythm of the game most of the time, until the fourth quarter of life and death. In the end, Curry stepped forward to lead the team to turn the tide, and after the Grizzlies lacked Morant, the performance at key moments can also be seen as cerebral hemorrhage, except for Jackson, it is difficult to have other scoring points.
Of course, in addition to the game itself, the referee's several controversial penalties directly affect the trend of the game. Bane's rebounding foul was actually shown in slow motion, there was no obvious physical contact, Curry was more suspected of fake fall, but unfortunately Jenkins did not choose to challenge at that time. And the theory of stepping on shoes is even more absurd, and it is even more impossible to establish. There is also a three-point shot in the last minute of Jalen Jr., there are obvious three-point shots, the cylinder range is really violated, but the referee did not say. Several less friendly penalties against the Grizzlies nearly killed the game, and the Memphis had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of the game's defeat. Of course, Dillon's performance at the level of a war criminal in this game is also speechless, and the last-minute three-point offensive shooting choice, as well as a key mistake, is even called "the hero of the win" by Warriors fans, which looks really deserved.
After being taken to the game point by the Warriors, the Grizzlies have no way to retreat, and the next game is not sure whether Morant will return, once the core of the family is absent, this is undoubtedly a direct death sentence for Memphis. Time is running out for the Grizzlies, and we'll see if we can create a miracle. But hopefully Morant will be back soon.
