The Trail Blazers host the Warriors with a starting lineup of Curry, Podzemski, Thompson, Kuminga, Looney!
At the beginning of the first quarter, Kuminga and Klay were in good offensive condition, scoring the first 12 points of the Warriors, and the Trail Blazers started with more flowers, and after Curry made a foul, he entered the first official timeout 12-9. After the timeout, the shooting percentage of the two teams declined, and the score of each other's iron went up relatively slowly. Kerr brought on Paul and Saric for two substitutes to work well. The first quarter ended with a four-point lead at 27-23.
In the second quarter, the two sides rounded up the lineup stage, the pace of the game suddenly became very fast, the two teams exchanged three-pointers, Saric ate 3 fouls and could only advance, the Warriors just wanted to open the difference slightly, Ayton and Brogdon on the Trail Blazers' side could respond, and after Grant cut the ball out of bounds, the 45-39 game entered a timeout. After this timeout, the Warriors played a wave of 5-0 leads to double digits, and Ayton made a dunk to finally stop the bleeding. Kuminga and Moody were also active, extending their lead to double digits before the Trail Blazers took a timeout after 55-43. Before halftime, the Warriors played another offensive highlight, scoring 38 points in a single quarter and winning by 12 points. 65-49 led by 16 points heading into the third quarter.
In the second half, Klay hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the Warriors once led by 22 points at 73-51, but it may have been much ahead, and the defense was slackened again, and the Trail Blazers played a wave of 9-0. Klay fouled Simmons for a hitter, and Kerr declined the challenge but called a timeout. After the timeout, Klay continued to score, but on the Trail Blazers' side, Kamara hit another three-pointer, and the difference returned to 11 points, and the Warriors immediately called a timeout. But these two pauses are meaningless, the Trail Blazers have three points on the outside, 2+1 on the inside, and the difference has come to 6 points, and then Kerr actually replaced the Splash Brothers at the same time. The Trail Blazers took advantage of the victory to chase another wave of 6-0 directly to 82 draws, and at the critical moment, Wiggins made 3 of 4 free throws to stabilize the situation, and Moody threw and scored, and the Warriors led by 5 points at the end of the third quarter 89-84 into the fourth quarter.
At the beginning of the final quarter, Paul and Wiggins led the team, and the Trail Blazers had three guards: Simmons, Brogdon, and Henderson. After 89-91, Billups challenged Walker and failed to foul. Wiggins' three-pointer and Klay's rebound stabilized the situation, and Davis was fouled and made two free throws, and the Warriors had a seven-point lead. Curry came back, but the three-point shot was still crazy to play iron, but fortunately, Davis got a crazy frontcourt rebound and went into a timeout. After coming back, the Trail Blazers continued to stubbornly chase points, Simmons and Grant chased 4 points in a row, Claydy scored three points in the corner to stabilize the situation, and Grant returned with three points. Brother Zui's dunk almost killed the game, but Sharp chased 2+1 to only 2 points. The Warriors didn't call a timeout, Paul hit a shot at a critical moment, leading to 4 points, and after the Trail Blazers called a timeout, Simmons played 2+1 to maintain the suspense. After the timeout, Curry went to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws, and Sharpe's last attack directly knocked down Podemski, and the offense fouled and completely buried the team.
In the end, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers 118-114 away, let's take a look at the specific performance of the players!
