In today's pivotal battle of the NBA playoffs, the Kings take on the Warriors. This game is an existential stake for both teams, and there is no room for failure. After four quarters of intense competition, the Kings outscored the Warriors 118-94.
The loss marked the end of the Warriors' season journey, and the Kings will continue their battle against the Pelicans for the final playoff spot in the West in their next game.
This game can be said to be a very difficult game for the Warriors. The team's two stars, Curry, contributed 22 points, and Klay was in a sluggish state in this game, feeling cold to the touch, making 0 of 10 shots in the game and failing to score 1 point. Wiggins had 12 points and Green had 12 points, 6 assists and 2 steals, but they didn't bring enough support to the team, and the statistics throughout the game also reflected the Warriors' problems. Murray scored a game-high 32 points for the Kings.
Contest Details:
The Warriors were challenged in the first quarter. While Green opened the game for the Warriors with a three-pointer, the Kings responded quickly and unleashed a wave of attacks led by Murray to take the lead. Curry, despite his best efforts to stop the bleeding, failed to stop the Kings from gaining an advantage. Murray added three more points on the final hit of the first quarter to give the Kings a 31-22 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter was still fierce. The Kings used the opening wave to stretch the deficit to 16 points, and the Warriors gradually closed the gap with three-pointers. In the second half of the game, the Warriors worked hard to close the score gap, and at every critical moment, the Kings showed their strength and scored back-to-back points to maintain their lead. When the third quarter ended, the Kings once again doubled their lead and extended the margin to 15 points
In the final quarter of the matchup, the Kings once again secured a solid lead with a 6-2 attack wave. After using a timeout to adjust the game, the Kings found their groove in the game, and the Warriors missed a good opportunity, and as the margin continued to grow, the Warriors' hopes of tying it were getting slimmer. In the end, the Kings ended the game by a huge margin of 24 points and eliminated the Warriors.
This game will be an eternal pain in the hearts of Warriors fans, and the Kings have shown their indomitable fighting spirit and superb skills. The Warriors, on the other hand, will learn from today and turn them into motivation for tomorrow — perhaps the most precious legacy of this game.
