On the morning of May 10, 2022, Beijing time, the fourth round of the NBA Western Conference Semi-finals started, and the Golden State Warriors continued to face the Memphis Grizzlies. As a result, the Warriors staged a desperate reversal with 20-24, 18-17, 24-28, and 39-29, with a total score of 101-98. After defeating the Grizzlies, the Warriors rewritten the total score to 3-1, occupying the match point for advancement. Curry performed well, scoring a game-high 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. The absence of Morant has become the main factor in the Grizzlies' defeat.
In the first three rounds of the game, the Golden State Warriors led the Grizzlies 2-1 in the big score. Before the game, Grizzlies officially announced that the star Morant was absent due to injury, which was a huge blow to the Grizzlies. Morant felt knee discomfort in the fourth quarter of the last game and finally left the game early. Judging from the current situation, it is not optimistic. The Warriors have a slight disadvantage in 12 previous matches with the Grizzlies with 5 wins and 7 losses, but with Morant's injury retreat, many people are still optimistic about the Warriors' promotion.
First look at the starting lineup of the two teams. The Grizzlies start: Teas Jones , Bain, Brooks, Jaren Jackson, Adams ; Warriors start: Curry, Clay , Wiggins , Kumingga, Green . It is worth mentioning that there is also bad news for the Warriors. The coach Cole tested positive for the new crown, and missed the game. Mike, Brown replaced Cole as coach.
In the first half, Curry and Green's performance was remarkable, but it seemed that they did not reach the best state. The Grizzlies did not show too much disadvantage under the premise of Morant. Instead, Anderson performed particularly well. In the first quarter, the Grizzlies took the lead 24-20.
In the second quarter, the Grizzlies conducted a full-game oppressive defense in advance, which caused the Warriors' turnover data to rise sharply. As of the end of the first half, the Warriors' mistakes were 11 times, the Grizzlies had 6 times, and the shooting percentage was 33.33, while the Grizzlies were slightly higher, reaching 35.42. On three-pointers, the Warriors' performance is even less worth mentioning, with 2 of 20 shots, while the Grizzlies' 4 of 20 shots.
ended at halftime, and the score in the second quarter was the Warriors 18-17 Grizzlies, with a total score of 38-41, and the Warriors were 3 points behind.
In the second half, the Grizzlies' Jones broke out and scored 15 points in one go, and helped the Grizzlies continue to lead with a total score of 69-62. The real contest is still in the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies tied the total score to 78-69. At the critical moment, Porter of the Warriors received an assist from Poole and made a three-pointer to chase the score to 72-79. This three-pointer was very critical. Then, Curry also made three-pointers in succession and chased the score to 88-89 with 3 minutes and 48 seconds left.
The last 11 seconds left in the game. With Curry's two free throws, the Warriors overtook the score to 95-93. In the last moment, the Grizzlies adopted a foul tactic, but were unable to save the defeat. In the end, the Warriors locked the fourth quarter at 39-29, and reversed the Grizzlies 101-98.
This victory also set two new records. First, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Grizzlies twice in a row for the first time in history; second, Curry scored 32 points alone, which was his highest score in playoffs .
