The logic in the games of the best basketball in the world, the NBA, is often blown by the wind. This game that we enjoyed this Wednesday night between Warriors and Heat left everyone thinking; the Warriors lost with almost all their available team and all his figures in Orlando. However, they won this game with a large army of casualties in Miami, against the leaders of the Eastern Conference.
The Golden State Warriors appeared in this game in Miami without the injured Stephen Curry, the absences of Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Otto Porter Jr., plus the very bad first half of Andrew Wiggins.
Now, despite the significant casualties of the team led by Steve Kerr, they put up a very good game on both sides of the court to take the 104-118 victory against a Heat. Miami’s degree of frustration was clear in the altercation between Jimmy Butler and Udonis Haslem in timeout; a fight that escalated into a heated on-court argument between Butler and Miami’s coach Erik Spoelstra.
First Quartes
The first big surprise was seeing how the Golden State Warriors reached the end of the first half fully involved in the game, with a 50-50 run. With Jonathan Kuminga, Jordan Poole, and Damion Lee running the Warriors’ offense. Also, Kevon Looney was dominating the rebound in the paint.
But the second blow that the Heat received in this game was to see how the Warriors, a team with many losses of important players, endorsed Miami at the beginning of the third quarter an infernal 0-19. The resurrection of Andrew Wiggins and the shots of three points from Jordan Poole was too much.
Second Half
The Heat, having a better squad at that time, managed to recover in the game with a 19-6 run that gave them back the advantage on the scoreboard of 81-80.
It was in the last quarter that Golden State resolved with a partial of 24-37, a quarter in which Poole, Lee, Wiggins, and Kuminga charged with the offense and the level of basketball necessary to overcome the team that, in theory, was the favorite in the bets.
The Warriors had Poole with 30 points, 9 assists, and 7 triples, rookie Kuminga added 22 points, the same as Wiggins and Lee.
Miami lost against an incomplete Warriors’ team and their defense was their main enemy throughout the game.
