The Rockets lost to the Rockets at home and was forced to tiebreak. Is the Warriors first round promotion dangerous?
At the Warriors' home court, the Rockets quickly entered the state when they turned away at the beginning. Van Vreet and Shin Kyung made a 9-3 start inside and outside. Van Vreet made 3 three-pointers and contributed 8 points in a single quarter.
The Warriors' new starting lineup (Peton Jr. + Hilder) was not effective. Hilder made zero contributions in 5 minutes, and Butler scored 6 points in a row to stop the bleeding. Dream Chasing Green's malicious foul against Jaylen Green caused controversy, and the Rockets' morale was high, leading 25-21 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Rockets substitute center Adams grabbed frontcourt rebounds and scored points, helping the team expand the gap to 10 points. The Warriors relied on Curry to catch up with 11 points in a single quarter (including 3 three-pointers), but the team's frontcourt rebounds were suppressed by the Rockets (7 behind in the halftime). Before the end of the half, Butler hit a high difficulty and two points, and the Warriors were still behind 48-53.
Butler scored 10 points in a single quarter to chase the Warriors to 72-75. Van Vreet made two consecutive three-pointers and responded with a personal score of more than 20+. The Warriors used the "cut Adams" tactic, but the latter made 3 of 4 free throws, and Shin Kyung's scored a tip-in made the Warriors passive. After Curry made two free throws, the Warriors fell 84-86 and entered the final quarter by 2 points.
Van Vreet hit 3+1 in the final quarter, then made another three-pointer, and the Rockets made a 6-0 offensive to widen the gap. In contrast, the Warriors' offense was silent: Curry made only 1 of 7 shots in the last quarter, Hilder made a continuous three-pointer, and the team scored only 9 points in the last 5 minutes.
The Rockets relied on Adams' frontcourt rebound control (6 offensive rebounds in the whole game) and Jaylen Green's fast break dunk, and the score difference widened to 17 points, and finally ended the game with an 8-point advantage.
Rockets, Fred VanVleet made 7 of 13 shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 9 of 9 free throws, contributing 29 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists; Alperen Shin-kyung made 8 of 20 shots, and 5 of 7 free throws, contributing 21 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Alperen Shin-kyung made 4 of 4 shots, made 9 of 16 free throws, contributed 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks; Amen Thompson made 5 of 13 shots, made 4 of 6 free throws, contributed 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, Jaylen Green made 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and made 5 of 6 free throws, contributed 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Rockets led the Warriors by more than 15 rebounds in the game with the height of the inside, and coach Uduka won at a critical moment. So it is really embarrassing that even if the Rockets beat Jaylen Green, it may not be in the Rockets' future team building plan. VanVleet's previous iron shot rate was terrible, but recently he returned to form, which is also the key to the Rockets' victory.
Warriors, Stephen Curry made 9 of 23 shots, 6 of 16 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, contributed 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 5 turnovers; Jimmy Butler made 7 of 17 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 12 of 14 free throws, contributed 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists; Moses Moody made 5 of 13 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, contributed 13 points, 2 rebounds; Brandin Pojemsky.
The Rockets went all out in this game, leaving no regrets in win or go home, and successfully won the away game. On the other hand, the Warriors have not been doing their best in this game. You should know that this is at the Warriors' home court, but they have given the Warriors a lot of attention and fed them to the Warriors at home, wasting their home advantage. They will return to the Rockets' home court to play a tiebreaker, which is really too difficult for the Warriors.
And it would be nice if I lost to the Rockets in the tiebreak. After all, this is a big boomerang. The Timberwolves' playoff gentleman swept the Lakers and was loaned in advance by fans saying that Humi would support the Timberwolves in the second round of the Timberwolves against the Warriors. However, he didn't expect that the Warriors might have to stop in the first round like the Lakers. This is really a big boomerang. I can only hope that the Warriors can wake up when they are forced into a desperate situation this time, otherwise it would be a laughing season.
