On May 10, Beijing time, in an NBA playoff game that ended earlier today, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 101-98 at home. In this game, due to the great defensive intensity of both sides, the shooting efficiency is not high. The Grizzlies shot 41.7 percent from the field and shot just 25.7 percent from three-point range. The Warriors' shooting percentage is 40%, and the three-point shooting rate is only 24.3%.
Although the Warriors trailed by the end of the first three quarters, they scored 39 points in the fourth quarter. Keep in mind that the Grizzlies were in the lead for the first 47 minutes and 15 seconds, while the Warriors didn't take the lead until the last 45 seconds and held the lead until the final victory.
Curry, the core of the team, scored 18 points in the final quarter. In this game, Curry played 37 minutes, shooting 10 of 25, including 4 of 14 three-pointers, contributing 32 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal. Speaking about the game in an interview after the game, Curry said: Although the team's offensive state is not good, the score of the two teams is still close after the third quarter. This gave the team momentum, and they relied on experience and defense to finally successfully reverse the game.
Of course, if the Warriors can win this game, the play of other players is also very important. In today's game, they had a total of 5 players in the team scoring in double figures, except for Curry. Wiggins scored 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting, Thompson had 14 points on 6-of-20 shooting, Poole had 14 points on 4-of-4 12 shooting and Porter had 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting. Draymond Green, on the other hand, scored only 2 points on 1-of-2 shooting, but contributed 11 rebounds and 5 assists, and delivered a crucial block in the final 12 seconds of the fourth quarter.
With the victory of this game, the Warriors have managed to get the match points for this series. The next game is whether the Grizzlies continue to retain the suspense of the series or the Warriors successfully advance, I believe that both sides will bring us a very good game.
