The Golden State Warriors have been through a lot of experience in this season's journey. In the case of the poor state of Klay and Wiggins in the team, and the team's record plummeted, the core starter Dream Green was also banned indefinitely by the league. Therefore, no matter how good Curry's personal ability is, he can't pull the big cart of the Warriors, and he can only fall into a situation of being alone again and again. In the face of such a situation, the head coach of the Warriors, Kerr, also made some changes and put Wiggins in the position of the bench.
In this game, the Warriors, who returned to play at home, welcomed the challenge of the Boston Celtics again. To be sure, the Greens are significantly more competitive than the rest of the league's favourites. So far this season, they have held their position as the dominant power in the East. Moreover, they not only have the sixth offensive efficiency in the league, but also the second defensive efficiency in the league, which can be described as an offensive and defensive integration, and there is a lot of hope for the top podium in the league this season. And this time against the Warriors, they suffered a reversal from the Warriors in overtime.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Green Shirts who were fighting away showed tough offensive aggression and dealt a big blow to the Warriors. Brown shot 5-of-9 from the field and 1-of-1 from the free throw line in the first quarter, delivering 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, while White also had comprehensive statistics of 9 points, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and Horford, who handed over 3 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, helped the team play a 40-30 score and take a 10-point lead. And entering the second quarter of the matchup, the Warriors, who are behind in the score, can also launch an effective counterattack. Kuminga, who started the game, shot 4-of-7 from the field and delivered 9 points and 4 rebounds, and Sharic, who came off the bench, also had 8 points and 2 rebounds, successfully helping the team narrow the gap to 3 points at 32-25.
The Green Shirts, who maintained the lead in the score, did not continue to give the Warriors a chance to fight back. In the third quarter, Brown continued to exert power, delivering 9 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, and White also sent 11 points and 3 rebounds to help the team extend the gap to 11 points with a score of 32-24. In the final quarter of the decisive game, the Warriors did not compromise easily, and with Curry's luxurious data contribution of 13 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, they played a score of 35-24 and dragged the game into overtime. In the short overtime, Curry continued to step up and deliver crucial 7 points and 1 rebound to help the team go 11-5 and win the game with an overall score of 132-126.
The overall performance of the Warriors in this game was still relatively resolute. All six of their players scored in double figures, and both starters and substitutes made good statistical contributions. In particular, their winning core splash combination also played its due value. Among them, Curry fought for 38 minutes, made 6 of 11 three-pointers, and delivered 33 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Klay also had a 6-of-15 three-point output, handing over 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. The two made 12 of 26 three-pointers, accumulating 47 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, once again playing the competitive level of the duo at their peak.
At the same time, Paul, who came off the bench, also had 9 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists, effectively connecting the team's offense. Moody also had a 10-point scoring output, as well as Davis, who had 10 points and 13 rebounds. On the other hand, the Green Army, which suffered an overtime reversal away from home, even scored double-doubles for 7 players in the team, but the performance in handling details was still lacking. Tatum shot 5-of-17 from the field and delivered 15 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Brown delivered 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and White made 7 of 18 three-pointers and delivered 30 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
