The Grizzlies perfectly attack the meeting with three award-winning baskets in three minutes and an 11-2. But Memphis' attack loses balloons and misses some fairly open shots. The Warriors reversed the situation with 3-PTS shoots, by Jimmy Butler and Quinten Post. After a delay in ignition, Golden State takes control (31-25).
Then confirms quickly with a large award-winning basket of Stephen Curry, a Dunk in counter-attack by Moses Moody then another basket behind the arc, with the fault, of the Golden State playmaker. There are then twenty points apart. Memphis manages to stop the hemorrhage with a 9-0 before the break (67-55).
At the start of the second period, the grizzlyats decide to further serve Zach Edey, useful with its size but often dominated by the stake and the defense of Golden State, near the circle. Desmond Bane is right, rightly. Then, after a marked basket, Ja Morant falls back on the foot of Buddy Hield and twists the right ankle. He has to go out while his team was in a highlight. Stephen Curry takes the opportunity to add a 3-point and keep his own in front (94-91).
A final “stop” of the warriors
However, with a Desmond Bane so good at 3-PTS, Tennessee players are still in the race. JA MORANT comes back in addition, but CURRY too, who had experienced big differences and who finds address at the right time. With two 3-PTS baskets, he completely relieves the Californians. We then enter a very long “money time”, with mistakes and free throws. The referees are not at the level, with this imaginary fault whistled on a superb against Brandin Podziemski.
On the throws, the double MVP does not tremble and the grizzlybones still have a bullet, three points behind, to go to overtime. But Santi Aldama fails to put into play in less than five seconds! Balle lost therefore, and the Warriors won 121-116 and will challenge the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs.
What to remember
– Jimmy Butler commence, Stephen Curry termine. It was the winger who was the most visible and decisive in the first part of the match. It also finishes better marker, with 38 units. But in the second part, it was the playmaker who made the differences and scored the important baskets. The MVP des Finals 2022 concludes this “play-in” with 37 points and a perfect 13/13 with free throws which counted in the final seconds to repel the grizzly greeks.
– Ja Morant's injury. Memphis was in a highlight, returning to the meeting, when the playmaker collapsed after falling back on the foot of Buddy Hield. His right ankle has turned well but after several minutes on the bench, he returned. He even scored baskets, but that was not enough. It remains to be seen in what state he can (if he can …) play the second “play-in” against the winner of the Mavericks-Kings …
-finally a “play-in” victory for the warriors. After three defeats, the Californians managed to break their curse at this stage of the competition. And thanks to this success, they spin in the first round of the playoffs to find the Rockets.
