The Golden State Warriors, defending champions, won once morest the Los Angeles Lakers (121-106) on Wednesday and are only led 3-2 in the semifinals of the NBA Western Conference.
The defending champion did not surrender. After two defeats in a row on the field of the Lakers, Golden State won in game 5 (121-106), on the night of Wednesday to Thursday and is only led 3-2 in the semi-finals of the western conference. The champions thus offer themselves a short trip to the Staples Center floor on the night of Friday to Saturday to try to afford a match 7 in their room.
Wiggins was everywhere
In the meantime, Steve Kerr’s men have done the job by starting strong (+11 following five minutes). And if the Lakers briefly took the lead in the second quarter (34-32, then 45-42), the Warriors accelerated just before halftime (70-59) under the impetus of the excellent Andrew Wiggins, in all shots (25 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists).
They extended their lead in the second half despite going 0/9 three-pointers in the third quarter which didn’t cost too much. Stephen Curry (3/11 from 3 points, but 27 points all the same) symbolized this unusual waste at long distance (13/35 for the team).
The good defense of the Warriors, embodied by the private Draymond Green (13 points, 10 rebounds) participated in limiting the impact of the stars LeBron James (25 points, 9 rebounds) and Anthony Davis (23 points, 9 rebounds). The series will therefore continue on the side of Los Angeles where the defending champion will always be on a thread.
