Saturday nightthe Warriors found themselves fighting without their basic “weapon” – the three -pointers – but also without their leader, Steph Currywho watched the match from the bench in form due to injury to Dikefalos.
Steve Kerd’s team failed in all five three -pointers attempted in the first half, something that happens for the first time in halftime match Playoffs In the era of play-by-play (since 1997). Nevertheless, he managed to go to the locker room with a 42-40 lead against Timberwolves.
The “curse” broke Just 35 seconds after the start of the third period, when Bandy Hilde found a target of 7.25m, ending … drought. Golden State found a rhythm and scored 6/11 three-pointers in the third period, passing 73-69.
The particular statistical brings memories from distant 2007when the Warriors were also left without a three -point one in a half time – then in the second half of defeat by Dallas with 112-99 for the first round of the playoffs.
It is worth noting that it is the First time the Warriors go ahead in half Playoffs race without having to go through a three -pointer, something that had happened only to Toronto Raptors in 2017 against the Cavaliers.
In addition to Golden Stateonly Minnesota (Game 1 of the same series) and Boston (Game 5 VS Orlando) have been left without a three -point half in this year’s playoffs. No other such incidents had been recorded in the previous six seasons.
Stef Curry, who retired prematurely from Game 1 due to a left -wing biceps, is expected to be re -examined on Wednesday, with his participation in the rest of the series remaining uncertain.
