The Fire Warriors played Curry's life, breaking the embarrassing record of 6 years of winlessness, and fighting for the 10th Warriors to hold 3 major advantages

After more than 5 months of competition, the regular season has entered the sprint stage, perhaps due to fate, the Rockets and the Warriors, the old enemies with completely different goals for the season, coincidentally continued the "Fire Warrior War" around the tenth position in the West, and in the face of the Rockets who were frantically chasing behind them, Curry and the Warriors also began to play with their lives.

Away from the old nemesis Magic, Dream Chasing lost control in only 3 minutes of the opening game, complaining that the referee ate two technical fouls in a row and was ejected from the game.

It was Dream's 10th technical foul of the season and the fourth ejection after losing all three previous games.

During the angry referee of Dream Chaser, the team leader Curry looked helpless about the rampaging Dream Chaser, first patted his waist to show his stable mood, and then looked at Dream Chaser helplessly.

As a result, Dream Chaser still chattered, and finally suffered two fouls and was directly ejected, and Curry, who faced all this, once pulled up his jersey to cover his face, and his frustration was overflowing.

Curry's mentality was also noticeably affected in the first half, with consecutive foul minutes chopped up, hitting just 2 of 9 shots.

Fortunately, the Warriors played team basketball, and Klay, Wiggins, Paul, Moody, and Podemsky all worked hard to share the pressure on Curry.

But the Magic still showed the resilience of the top dark horse team in the second and third quarters, and dragged the game into the last minute.

At the decisive moment, Curry was powerful, and Curry, who had been iron for a whole game, scored 5 points in a row to take away the game, and then he made a classic good night gesture.

It is worth mentioning that after Curry hit a three-point shot, during the period when the Magic team was forced to call a timeout, the excited Curry rarely kicked the stool directly to vent his depression for the whole game.

With that three-pointer, Curry has hit 30 three-pointers (46.2 percent) in key moments this season, breaking the single-season record held by Ray Allen and Mike James (22).

Under his leadership, the Warriors finally ended a six-year embarrassing streak, with their first away win over the Magic in six years, and their last win on the road was back on December 2, 2017, during which the Warriors lost five straight games against the Magic.

Although in the subsequent game, the Rockets overturned the second-place Thunder in the West through overtime to win 10 consecutive victories, chasing the gap between the two teams to one win again, and the Warriors still have three major advantages in the battle for tenth place in the West with the Rockets.

Advantage 1: Hand-to-hand advantage

Since the start of the game, the Warriors and the Rockets have played each other twice, and the Warriors have won both times, with an absolute advantage of 2-0.

In the remaining games, the Warriors have only played the Rockets once, which means that the Warriors are ahead of the Rockets in head-to-head record, regardless of whether this game is won or lost.

If the last two teams have the same record, then the Warriors will rely on that advantage to beat the Rockets to occupy the tenth place.

Advantage 2: Leading record

After defeating the Devils, the Warriors improved their record to 38-34, still leading the Rockets 37-35 by one win, so the initiative is entirely in the hands of the Warriors.

The Rockets have only one chance to take the initiative, and that is the last time to face the Warriors, this game is two games at a time, and if the Rockets win, it will directly erase the difference between the wins.

At that time, the Rockets only need to win one more game than the Warriors to complete the standings, otherwise the Rockets will need to win three more games to overtake.

Advantage 3: The difficulty of the remaining schedule

The Warriors are only 27th in the league in difficulty with the remainder of their schedule, winning just 44.2 percent of their opponents, and have five games against a sloppy or bad team.

The remaining schedule of the Rockets ranks 10th in the league, with an opponent win rate of 52.3%, and only 3 games are less difficult.
