Play-in Jimmy, Playoff Steph: Golden State Warriors were built for this
Golden State Warriors took off Jimmy Butler from Miami Heat and took off, and continued to Sprint at the end of the star at the Western Conference.
On Tuesday, Memphis Grizzlies won the 121-116 won Warriors with seed 7 in the West.
However, the first round rival of Houston Rockets-Golden State was the united perfection of Butler and Stephen Curry.
Two of them won 75 points against Memphis. Playoff Jimmy was Jimmy and poured with 38 points, and Curry added 37 to a pound performance of six 3 points and 13 shows.
“If I had seen a Batman, it’s a Batman,” Butler said Curry. “He’s always coming to save the day. You’re never out of any game. More, very ready and very calm than anything else.”
Having Butler and Curry’s clutch duo makes Warriors a scary team that will face the playoffs.
Butler apparently contradicted everyone in the heat organization and received the desire to trade.
Now a completely different man – the NBA history is perhaps the best pure shooter in the history of the happy and the content appears.
Warriors went 23-7 while the butler was in the regular season. And this play-in victory exhibits transparent chemistry developed by the two stars in a very short time.
Curry is also an extraordinary teammate and sometimes knows how to walk successfully a wrong teammate.
Remember, Curry has been a teammate with Draymond Green. So Curry and Coach Steve Kerr Butler have the chance to put it in line.
If Curry and butler make such an effort in the same game, Golden State has the chance to overcome rockets.
Houston has a ton of ability in a deep staff and a star coach in IME Udoka. However, Rockets does not have a well-intentioned scorer used to play-off.
Golden State has two.
Grizzlies put a good fight with Star Desmond Bane’s 30 points. Memphis followed at 20 in the second quarter and took fourth place.
Ja Morant injured the right ankle in the third quarter and returned to the game in the last quarter. While being influenced by the ankle, he made a game effort, and now Memphis hopes that he will have Star Point protection for the Final West Conference on Friday.
Grizzlies had the chance to be late in the game, but Santi Aldama was called for a five -second violation in a game that was 5.4 seconds before. This was a participant.
Orlando Magic punched the playoff tickets against Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday with a 120-95 win. Orlando will face Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
In the first half of the Hawks, the magic was cut to the end of the third quarter until 22 points. Orlando then withdrew the Atlanta 41-22 in the fourth quarter.
The magic received 26 points from Cole Anthony and 16 points from Anthony Black. Since Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero should have big trips to Orlando to make a series, such efforts will be needed against Celtics.
Atlanta will have another chance to make a playoff dock on Friday, and you will have to shoot better than 4 of 21 on Tuesday than the 3 -point range.
Trae Young scored 28 points, but he threw himself with 4:47 and with a lame indicator of non -sportsmanic behaviors. He threw the ball to an official and then kicked the ball to another official, as if he were six years old instead of 26.
Young promised to have the best behavior on Friday and partly, “I know we need to win the next game or go home, and I’ll be ready.”
Of course, they could win Tuesday to demand a place. Now there is no error margin.
