At the beginning of the game, the Wizards showed a strong side, Poole opened in the middle distance, Gafford received a dunk in the air, and Kuzma and Gafford made consecutive throws, which once caused a lot of trouble for the Warriors. However, the Warriors' counterattack did not show weakness, Kuminga's strong attack on the inside, Curry's three-point shot on the outside, and the rhythm of the game was difficult to solve. Thompson even scored five points in a row on a breakaway shot, giving the Warriors a valuable lead.
In the second quarter, Kuminga was aggressive, constantly attacking the inside, and Podzemski's outside three-pointer opened up the gap for the team. However, the Wizards' Kispert and Kalidou Koulibaly broke through one after another to close the gap again. At this time, Curry suddenly broke out, scored three points in a row, and also caused an outside foul, scoring 14 points in 4 minutes, which was really overwhelming.
