107-115! Why did the Warriors lose at home? Three major defeats were exposed, this game was too "fatal"

In a gunpowder-filled NBA playoff match, the Warriors lost to the Rockets 107-115, and the total score was tied 3-3 by the opponent. The situation of promotion, which seemed to be sure to win, instantly became confusing. Looking at the whole game, the many problems exposed by the Warriors on both offense and defense have become the key factors for their failure.

First of all, on the offensive end, the Warriors' "three-point rain" was completely silent, and the role players were collectively lost. Starting shooter Hilde made no shots in all four shots, and there was no result in any of the three-pointers outside the three-point line, and he did not exert his due external restraint. Payton Jr. also performed poorly on the offensive end, scoring 5 points from 2 of 5 shots. Facing the Rockets' empty defense strategy, he could not respond with his shot. The team relies too much on the outside projection and falls into a scoring drought when the touch is cold. At the critical moment of the final quarter, the Warriors made frequent three-pointers, and it was difficult to break through to the basket and tear open the Rockets' defense line. The stagnation of the offense gradually widened the score gap.

Secondly, the poor performance on the defensive end has become the "hardest hit area" for the Warriors' loss. The five small lineup used at the beginning puts the Warriors at a completely disadvantage in terms of interior height and confrontation. Facing strong inside players such as Adams and Shin Kyung, Warriors players seem to be unable to do so. Shin Kyung scored 21 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the Warriors' interior, and Adams also scored easily at the basket many times. In addition, the Warriors' defensive integrity and concentration are seriously insufficient, and frequent missed mistakes on the field allow the Rockets to seize the opportunity and score easily.

Furthermore, the huge disadvantage in the free throw segment also brought a heavy blow to the Warriors in this game. With its outstanding foul ability, the Rockets won 46 free throws in the game and hit 33 goals; while the Warriors only had 22 free throws and hit 18 goals. The Rockets have scored a large number of points through free throws, which has undoubtedly become an important factor in the victory or defeat in a stalemate game.

This defeat sounded a heavy alarm for the Warriors. If they want to successfully break through in the next game, they must adjust their offensive strategies in time to improve the performance of role players, and at the same time strengthen inside defense and teamwork. Otherwise, the Warriors, who were originally determined to win the championship, are likely to encounter a "Waterloo" in the playoffs.
