Exploded 28+5, Klay broke out to save Curry!The Western rankings are all messed up!The Warriors Rockets grab the play-offs
The competition in the West this season is really too fierce! No. 1 in the West, the Nuggets, Thunder, and Timberwolves are three teams in the competition, the No. 4 Clippers and the Pelicans are indistinguishable, and the No. 6 also has the Kings, Suns, and Mavericks who don't give in to each other, and the 2 play-off tickets of 9-10 also provoked the 3 teams to scramble!
Now, the Lakers are ranked 9th with 39 wins and 32 losses, the Warriors are ranked 10th with 36 wins and 34 losses, and the Rockets are ranked 11th with 36 wins and 35 losses.
In the face of the aggressive Rockets, the Warriors urgently need to win to stabilize the situation, but the team's schedule obviously does not want to make the Warriors better, and after losing to the Pacers in the last game, the team has encountered another big rival in this game, the Heat in the East!
The Heat was the runner-up last season, this gimmick is scary, but the team's regular season performance is very average, and they only achieved a 39-32 record before this game, ranking 7th in the East, and are also facing the pressure of the play-offs, so they also want to win the game against the Warriors in this game to hit the top 6 spots in the East.
The strength of the two teams is very close, and they all have a chance to win this game! At the beginning, the Warriors were in a very good state, Curry and Klay scored points one after another, and the team played 8:0 to take the lead! But soon the Heat team entered the state, Adebayo and Rozier joined forces to launch a fierce attack inside and outside, and the Heat returned a wave of 11:2, overtaking the score in one fell swoop! Then the two teams stabilized their state and started a stalemate battle on the court, and the score took the lead alternately, and the Heat was slightly ahead by 2 points in the first quarter! Entering the second quarter, the performance of the two teams was unstable again! The Warriors bench performance was strong, and under the leadership of Paul, they continued to play defensive counterattacks, and the team blasted a 10:2 offensive climax to regain the lead!
The difference of 2 points at halftime, the Heat and the Warriors played really stalemately, which also made it difficult to distinguish the winner of this game, but who would have thought, in the second half, the Heat team's offense suddenly became dumb, and the Warriors were not polite, and then played a wave of offense, opening up a two-digit point difference! Butler and Rozier stabilized the situation for the Heat, but Klay and Kuminga also scored in response, and the two teams fought around the difference of about 10 points, and the Warriors have maintained the advantage in the score! Entering the final quarter, Curry suddenly broke out, scored points under the basket, and scored 3 points from the outside, the Warriors continued to exert their strength, widening the difference to nearly 20 points, although the Heat team was unwilling to give up trying to catch up, but it did not pose any substantial threat at all, and the Warriors defeated the Heat 113-92, ending the team's 2-game losing streak.
With a 21-point victory, the Warriors finally found their form in the face of the Heat team, and won a hearty victory, and the team's performance in this game was also very good!
The Warriors had 4 people score double-doubles in this game, and the 4 cores all played a big role, Wiggins cut 17 points and 7 rebounds and found his form, Kuminga got 18 points and 7 rebounds, and Klay performed even better, scoring 28 points and supporting the team's offense, especially when Curry was not good in the first 3 quarters, it was his play that gave the Warriors the lead, successfully saved Curry, and also made Curry explode in the last quarter, scoring 17 points in the whole court and taking away the game in one fell swoop!
The Warriors won the Heat and stabilized their 10th position, but at the same time, the Lakers defeated the Bucks in a reversal and opened a 2-game difference with the Warriors, so the Rockets and the Warriors will also start a brutal 10-10 battle!
The Warriors and the Rockets snatched the 10th place in the West, the result is really hard to say, although the Warriors have the background and experience, but I have to admit that their performance and strength are not very good, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the Rocket's play is too powerful, 9 consecutive wins, indomitable, the schedule behind the Rockets is also good, in the case of only 1 game between the 2 teams, the possibility of the Rockets overtaking the Warriors to get the 10th is not low.
