A game of 116: 131, the second Western Conference 3: 2! The Warriors lost 3 and won the game, and Cole has a back-up

On May 1, G5, the first round of the NBA playoffs, launched a focus battle. The Warriors, who had already led the 3:1 score, went to challenge the Rockets away. In the last game, Butler used key rebounds and free throws to take the game away, which was infinitely close to the end of the series. The Rockets were forced into a desperate situation and had to defend their home court.

At the beginning of this game, it was still not Jaylen Green who led the team to counterattack. The only player in the team with championship experience started the Rockets' leading momentum with three-pointers. At the same time, Dillon also ushered in an explosion. The Rockets scored 40 points in the first quarter, with a shooting percentage of 69% in the half-time shooting percentage and a three-point shooting percentage of 60%. Under this phenomenon-level feel, the Warriors were hit on the defensive end and were also affected by the offensive end, and they were already 27 points behind in the half.

But unexpectedly, after Kerr replaced all substitutes at the end of the third quarter, he once chased 15 points in a row, and played back all the main players of the Rockets with 7 points left in the fourth quarter. After that, the Warriors' backcourt player Spencer was sent off, interrupting the Warriors' pursuit momentum. In the end, they lost the game 116:131, and the second 3:2 in the West was born, but the Warriors received 3 good news:

First, this game gave the Warriors the opportunity to tolerate mistakes and remind them. The Rockets' three-point rain will not keep falling, but Van Vleet must defend heavily in the next game. As it turns out, Payton Jr. was able to defend Jaylen Green in the previous game. As long as someone can limit Van Vleet in the next game, the Warriors have hope of winning.

2: Curry and Butler got a full rest in this game. Judging from the facial expressions of the two, he was unwilling to accept it, but Cole obviously wanted to let go of this game very early. After all, it is rare for the opponent to shoot 60% of the shooting percentage in the half, so there is no need to fight head-on to cause injury risks.

3, in this game, the Warriors finally found that there were surprises on the bench. In addition to Post, who performed in the last game, Moody and Spencer in this game both performed well. For the Warriors to go further, you can try it. More importantly, through this game, the substitutes also played their energy, which has a better effect on supplementing the depth of the lineup.
