Golden State Warriors 96-99 Minnesota Timberwolves
It was a fun game to watch. Gary Payton ll returned and was at home again. Unfortunately, an unnecessary mistake in the end ruined this key matchup in the battle to defend the Western Conference playoffs.
So, let’s look at the most controversial of the last two waves!
Jordan Poole was in the best condition at the end of the quarter and once put the team in the leading position. At 36 seconds, he shot a large three-pointer and missed. Looking at it now, this is definitely not the best choice, but in hindsight, it seems No, at this time there are 7 seconds left on the watch, he can’t take a step forward, because he will definitely be blocked, 2 months ago, he thought of all kinds of brainless fouls and sent the ball instead, so he went to Brother Splash , it is estimated that the result will be similar to the error with 4 seconds left.
7 seconds is definitely enough to play a pick-and-roll, but think about it from another angle, what if the opponent goes up to pinch at this time? Can Poole make the right judgment at this time? I don’t think so. Looking back at this goal, the only mistake was that the goal was not scored.
As for Green’s mistakes, we also have to look at them. When Curry passed halftime, the Timberwolves pulled hands, but the referee didn’t call. What the Warriors have to do at this time is to run out of time. Clip up to collect the ball. As long as the ball is in Curry’s hands, it should be impossible to save the jump ball. When it is passed to Green, Green must want to quickly return the ball to the Spray Brothers or Poole. At this time, the high probability is 1 of 2 free throws. It can only be said that Kyle Anderson’s judgment is really good, and Towns has a big heart.
Well, don’t blur the focus, the return of Gary Payton ll is the focus. This time he showed the defensive attitude and hard work he had in the past, and successfully made Anthony Edwards play very unsatisfactory in this comeback game. As for the offensive end, The empty-handed cut is still the same Gary Payton ll. At least facing a team with a strong backcourt in the playoffs, the Warriors should not have to worry about it. It shouldn’t even be a problem for him to hang around a forward like Paul George.
Remember last March? Jordan Poole’s situation is just like the recent ones. It’s extremely good. The Warriors have been waiting for most of the season and are waiting for a good performance in the near future. There are some flaws in a few goals, and the recent good performance should not be wiped out.

Golden State Warriors 120-109 New Orleans Pelicans
There are basically 2 teams in the first and second half, and the Pelicans are lucky to play back-to-back games, otherwise, according to the first half, they should have a losing streak at home.
Jonathan Kuminga started this time, and Gary Payton ll on the bench put a lot of pressure on Brandon Ingram. After losing Wiggins, the vitality of the single defense was slowly pressed down by these two players. At the same time, it also made the weaker Donte DiVincenzo You don’t have to carry it all the way to the No. 3 forward.
As for Kevon Looney, I always admire the strength of Bob Myers. His rebounding ability, especially his offensive rebounding sense is really good. He only has 2 defensive rebounds, but he has 8 total rebounds. How can he use this price? Sign him? When the contract is renewed next time, with his growth in the Warriors system and his current value, he should become very sought-after!
Jordan Poole has reached the top 8 of the NCAA March Madness this year, and slowly broke through doubts. From the beginning of this season, he played a bit nervously, and now he can score points when the team grabs points. This year’s March Madness came relatively late. , but if such a good situation can be maintained until the playoffs, the Warriors’ offensive firepower will be stronger, especially when Poole’s ability to play against the wind is getting stronger and stronger.
From the perspective of the starting lineup, it will be changed in the short term. It should be changed according to the opponent’s situation. A strong forward will play Kuminga, a strong center will play Looney, and a strong guard will play Gary Payton ll. If there is no special need, Donte DiVincenzo is a combination. The best people to see.
There are 5 games left after this game, it doesn’t matter if you don’t play the play-offs.

Golden State Warriors 130-115 San Antonio Spurs
In this game, the Warriors were determined to win because owner Joe Lacob yelled “sell the team if you lose to the Spurs today” before the game.
The start of the game was really ugly, with 0 of 10 outside shots and as many turnovers as usual. Fortunately, the wave tea recovered and three scoring points broke out together. In this game, the Warriors were able to score 130 points. The high score, according to the Warriors’ good offensive status during this period, has a good chance of being brought into the playoffs, which is definitely a blessing.
Although I know that I can’t praise Kuminga wildly, after all, he is likely to have an accident in the next game, but everyone can find out the goodness of this game, especially his cut and beast slam dunk, which is very refreshing to watch.
