The Golden State Warriors lost 108-106 against the Dallas Mavericks on the road. Originally, everyone thought that the Warriors would take the Lone Ranger down, but it backfired, and the Warriors' six-game winning streak was ended. I have to say that this game is very exciting, it can be described as an eyeball battle.
Let's go back to this game, Klay Thompson's last-minute shot was simply hanging by a thread, and the hearts of the fans jumped together. Klay took the ball from Chris Paul, positioned it outside the three-point line, and shot the ball in a beautiful arc in the air, but unfortunately, it didn't fall into the net, but bounced out of the frame mercilessly. Clay's expression at that moment can be said to be the best emoji in the game, and Chris Paul's lost back seems to say: "This is basketball, full of unknowns and variables." ”
Stephen Curry scored 28 points in this game, and as the soul of the team, he really did his best in the final moments. Although the three-point shooting percentage is not ideal, his fighting spirit and desire to win have never lost half a point. In the final quarter, Curry almost single-handedly led the team to catch up, and the margin was narrowed to only one point at one point. Unfortunately, the goddess of fate didn't seem to be on the side of the warriors, and in the end they still couldn't complete the reversal.
In the game, there were also a few moments that made people "cry and laugh". For example, Gary Payton's baseline save was clearly out of bounds, but the referee turned a blind eye, and Draymond Green's several fouls on the inside were also ignored. These controversial verdicts have to make people sigh: Is this a basketball court or a ring game? In the last 50 seconds or so of the Warriors, Curry's magical three-pointer and subsequent moving blocking are all wonderful. It's a pity that the referee's whistle seems to be blown a little "selectively", which makes these wonderful moments stained with a layer of controversy.
Let's be fair to say though, that the Mavericks didn't rely entirely on the "favor" of the referees to get the win. The fact that they were able to stand up so tenaciously against the Warriors without Luka Doncic is a true testament to their team spirit and fighting will. In particular, PJ Washington's layup at that crucial moment simply pushed the game to a climax.
The Golden State Warriors are now in a delicate position. Their rankings, their records, make people feel that they are on the cusp of the storm. The playoff qualification seems to be beckoning to them and joking with them. The few remaining games, each one of them is crucial
