4. Player comments

The Warriors players' performance is as follows➡️

Green was very good today. After he came in the first quarter, he scored 2 3-pointers and then another 2-pointer. Scoring 8 points alone helped the team take the lead. Although the offense is not good, it has to be said that Green is really a big-hearted player. He scored 10 points and 5 rebounds in the first half. He scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game.

Hilder's performance today was also very critical, especially in the first quarter of the game, when the team was struggling to score, he scored continuously to help the team maintain the lead. Especially when the first quarter was about to end, he passed the midfield and threw 3 points directly and scored, and scored 8 points in the first quarter. In the subsequent games, he scored continuously and he was like the boss of the Warriors today. He scored 22 points in the first half, made 6 of 7 shots. He made 9 of 10 shots in 3 points in the game, scoring the highest 33 points in the team.

Butler performed well today. On the offensive end, he did not shoot too many 3 points, but instead took the mid-range shooting that he was best at. His performance today was much better than Curry's. In the first half, he scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. He scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the game.

Curry had no touch today. He made all the five shots in the first half, but failed to hit. When the score difference widened to about 12 points, he only hit a 3-pointer. In the first half, he scored 3 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. The game won 22+10+7.

Rockets players performed as follows ➡️

Ethan performed well today and was able to contribute steals after coming up. Then, in the second quarter, the team's score difference was widened until it was almost 10 points, and he scored another key 3-pointer to help the team grasp the score. The game won 5+5.

Jaylen Green is really hard to describe. If he missed a layup through the breakthrough, he would either make a breakthrough and was awarded a big hat by the opponent and could not make a three-pointer. If the Rockets lose today, they will definitely lose on him. Not only is it wasted the ball, it will not help the team at all. He scored 2 points in the first half. He scored 8 points and 4 rebounds in the game.

Amen is one of the players who performed normally today. He scored 12 points in the first half. Today, the team's shooting was not good, and they could only rely on Amen, who kept sneak attacking points under the basket. He scored 24 points and 9 rebounds throughout the process.

Dillon was completely lost today. On the court, he had a low presence and a very poor shooting feel. He made 1 of 5 shots in the first half, and he didn't feel that he was so powerful on the defensive end. In terms of emotions, he did not bring energy to the team. He scored 2 points in the first half. He scored 8 points in the whole game.

Shen Jing performed averagely today. His strong attack at the basket was not good and his efficiency was very low. But no matter what, he could still score. The team really couldn't get any points except Van Vritte today.. He scored 8 points and 8 rebounds in the first half. He scored 21 points and 14 rebounds in the game.

Van Vreett's performance today was not as good as the first two games, but it was OK, because the team's offense today was really bad, and only Van Vreett scored continuously to help the team bite the difference, otherwise it would have been spent early in the first half. He scored 9 points and 2 rebounds in the first half. He scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists throughout the whole process.

5. Team performance

What do you say about today's game? It can be said that this is fate. The Warriors played badly overall, especially Curry, who performed very poorly. Of course, the Rockets are not good, but Hilder made 6 3-pointers after shooting 7 times in the first half. He scored the highest 22 points of the two teams in the first half. He played all season and did not have such experience. But who would have thought that in the tiebreak battle, he played the best game of the season. What's the solution? So the Rockets lost in this game, there is nothing to say. I can only say that this is fate!
