It was in extreme confusion that the Warriors went for the first victory in their history in an NBA tournament. This “In-Season Tournament” did not disappoint, with many close matches, like this OKC – Golden State of which Stephen Curry was the hero with this basket scored 0.2 seconds from the end. A basket first refused, then accepted after a very long video session.
“This action reflects the intensity of the match”, believes Stephen Curry. “There were some crossovers, a lot of baskets, a lot of action, but also a lot of commitment. The NBA tournament atmosphere and the change of court added a little more energy to the game. »
“Two teams trying to win a playoff game”
Same enthusiasm from Draymond Green, who almost ruined everything by hitting the net on Stephen Curry’s winning shot.
“We saw two teams trying to win a playoff game”believes the interior All-Star. “It’s very intense. Many decisions could have been made one way or the other. They were given the benefit of the doubt on certain decisions. We got the benefit of the doubt on a few decisions. But we saw two teams fighting. They say it’s the “In-Season Tournament” but it was actually the playoffs. It was an enjoyable match to play and the level of intensity was there. »
Proof that the Warriors took this meeting very seriously, it was ultimately through their defense that they managed to snatch the victory. Like in a playoff game.
“It was great!” The Thunder really dominated us the whole game, but we just did what was necessary on defense. It wasn’t our best game in that area, and they had a million shots. But we just did what was necessary at the end. »
Next meeting of the NBA tournament for the Warriors, November 14, with the reception of the Wolves.
