The Warriors beat the Rockets 133-110 and it was all over. The Rockets are already four wins behind the Warriors, and the play-in tournament has come to naught. The moment the Rockets lost to the Mavericks and the Timberwolves, and then the Warriors nibbled down the Mavericks, the Rockets were doomed to death. Then today is the only chance for the Rockets, and they will have to break the cauldron to win the Warriors in order to have a final miracle. It's a pity that the key battle became one-sided, and the rocket was completely pressed to the ground by the warriors and blasted the hammer.
Since the Mavericks began to wrap up Jalen Green, the Rockets have never been able to play the previous 11-game winning streak. This year is Jalen Green's third year, and he needs to break through that bottleneck, and getting caught is the only way to become an All-Star. This also shows that the outside world attaches great importance to Green, but the Rockets are beautiful. With the goal of 40 wins this year, Jalen Green also played in the second half of the game, with Smith and Amen Thompson cashing in on their talents. The Rockets already have a Nets lottery pick this offseason, and they can go to further reinforcements and then deal with Green and Shin Kyung's contract extensions.
There's really nothing to say about today's game, the Warriors are really the Rockets buster, and they have been swept by three kills this season. And every time Thompson hit the Rockets, he came hard, and today he fired a 19-6 surge for the Rockets, which laid the foundation for the win, and the Rockets have not been able to catch up since then. In the second quarter, Thompson continued to explode when he dreamed of returning to the top, scoring seven points in a row, and the Rockets had fallen behind by 15 points at halftime. The two sides were deadlocked in the second half, but the Rockets didn't catch up, and ended the third quarter trailing by 16 points.
In the final quarter, the Warriors played a wave of harvests, and they already led by 23 points, Jalen Green did not need to play, and the Rockets surrendered. In the game, Smith Jr. on the Rockets side scored 24 points, Van Jordan had 10 points and 9 assists, Jalen Green had 13 points and 7 assists, and White Devil Whitmore had 17 points. On the Warriors' side, Curry scored 29 points, Thompson 29, Wiggins 10 points, and Davis 20 points. I have to say that the Dream Chaser Green pen pretended again, and he said when the Rockets and the Warriors were only 1 win away that the Rockets had no chance.
As a result, the Warriors won six in a row, and the Rockets went down again. Back then, Dream Chaser said that the Warriors won the championship before Durant came, and the Warriors won the championship after you left. Now that his words are successful again, Ethan is quite embarrassed. After the game, the Warriors players imitated Eason and shouted, "Warriors, let's touch it!"
That's the price of youth, and of course we encourage Ethan's behavior, and young people are not angry or are they called young people? In fact, the Rockets are doomed to miss the play-offs.
The Lakers and Warriors are two traffic teams, and the Warriors pay a $190 million luxury tax. Rather than making the Rockets into the play-offs and playoffs, having the Warriors and Lakers enter at the same time is more in line with the league's money-making requirements. The most important thing is that the Lakers and Warriors themselves are also powerful. The Warriors' six-game winning streak is extremely ferocious, and it can be described as a combination of offense and defense. The Lakers also relied on a three-game winning streak to rush to ninth, only 0.5 wins away from the Kings eighth.
The last thing the league wants is definitely for the Lakers and Warriors to fight between the ninth and tenth, and the league is most willing to avoid the battle with the Lakers and go to the playoffs together, such as the Lakers going to the top eight, and then playing the play-offs to lock in seventh. Let the Warriors and Kings play the play-in tournament, and the Warriors win to grab the eighth ticket. It is estimated that the Pelicans and Kings will withdraw from the playoffs this year, and the Pelicans' recent decline in form is too obvious, and the Suns are holding on to the sixth position. In other words, 1 Nuggets, 2 Timberwolves, 3 Thunder, 4 Clippers, 5 Mavericks, 6 Suns, 7 Lakers, and 8 Warriors are the outcomes that the league wants to see the most this year.
