9:56pm, 8 May 2025Basketball

The Warriors played away against the Rockets on May 1st. At the end of the game, the Warriors lost to the Rockets 116-131. Although the Warriors also wanted to quickly end the suspense of this round of series, the Rockets played a good offensive state in the first quarter, and what made the Warriors even more helpless was that the Rockets could maintain their offensive state. When the Warriors tried to catch up with the score in the game, Van Vleet, Dillon and others were able to respond in the game. So when the Warriors were not able to catch up with the score in the third quarter, Kerr chose to give up the game in the second half of the third quarter. However, the Warriors' substitute players performed well and returned some suspense. Unfortunately, when the Rockets' main players returned, they still stabilized the situation, and in the end the Rockets won the game without any danger.

The Rockets and the Warriors have been playing so passively in this round of series because the Rockets had problems on the offensive end. However, in today's game, Jaylen Green found his state early to help the Rockets take some lead. In the subsequent game, not only did Shin Kyung play tough against Green, but more importantly, Van Vleet and Dillon were able to hit three-pointers. In addition, Amen gave Curry a lot of defensive pressure on the defensive end, so the Rockets were able to open the score early in the game. Although the Rockets were indeed chased by the Warriors' substitute in the fourth quarter, the Rockets' main players played no problem in this game. It can be said that when the Rockets needed them to stand up, they did what they should do in the game.

And for the Warriors, what really made them helpless was not losing, but two major changes in Curry. The first big change is Curry's mistake. In fact, Ku's defense against the Rockets in this round of the series has performed well, but in today's game, Curry played very hard when he was against Amen. In the first half, Curry made a counterattack many times in the game. At the same time, Curry also had a big hat on the game. It can be said that Curry really did not take advantage of him when he was against Amen in today's game. In the end, Curry also made three mistakes in this game. You should know that Curry only played 23 minutes in this game, so Curry really made many of these mistakes.

The second biggest change is Curry's shooting. Although the Rockets gave Curry a lot of defensive pressure in this round of the series, Curry can always hit some fairy balls in the game. When Curry did these things, the Rockets played passively in the game, but Curry did not do such a thing in the last two games. In the G4 game, Curry once made a three-pointer on the outside. In today's game, Curry made a frequent shot from outside. What's even more surprising is that Curry also missed free throws in this game. This is indeed rare for Curry to happen. So when Curry played such a performance, the Warriors were very passive in the game. In the end, Curry scored 13 points in 4 of 12 shots, including Curry's three-pointer on the outside, and 3 of 9 shots from outside.

So when Curry changes these two major changes in the game, this is the real helplessness of the Warriors. After all, the reason why the Warriors played so hard in this game has a lot to do with the Rockets' overly accurate offense. So when the Rockets' offensive state falls, the Warriors' substitute lineup can help the team catch up points. What's more, the Warriors still take the initiative in this round of the series. Therefore, it is completely acceptable for the Warriors to lose to the Rockets in today's game. However, Curry continues to perform like this in the next game, so the Warriors will continue to encounter difficulties in the game. Therefore, in the next game, Butler, Pojemsky and others need to play better, Curry really needs to call back in time to find the state.
