Original title: Kerr attributed the loss to a foul Curry:It stifled the team’s momentum
On April 25th, Beijing time, the Warriors lost 121-126 in the G4 series once morest the Nuggets. The series was tied 3-1 and missed the sweep.
In this game, the Nuggets committed 4 more rules than the Warriors, but only 4 more free throws than the Warriors. Curry said following the game that the team’s foul trouble was what plagued them all game. “It’s tough, when you look at the stats they’re only four more free throws than us, actually they’re four more fouls than us.”
“The type of fouls we had were all over the top and holding back the momentum, especially when they hit a lot of 3s and then we had stupid fouls and they got to the free throw line,” Curry said. It’s hard to overcome, especially on the road, they’re playing with desperation, and it’s a bad night.”
Curry came off the bench once more this game, which also made Thompson the team’s number one offensive option early in the game. Klay had a quick 8-point start to give the Warriors a 13-6 lead, but he was forced to rest with 8:14 left in the first quarter, which also had a domino-like effect on the team.
Klay committed his first foul in the first minute of the game, and he fouled the second in less than three minutes. This led to Curry having to play in advance, and Curry missed all the first five shots, the Warriors did not find the state, only scored 21 points in the first quarter, 5 points behind the opponent.
In the second quarter, Clay made only one shot, but two more fouls. The Warriors trailed by 11 points at halftime, and Klay had already been fouled 4 times. Kerr said he was a little annoyed by Klay’s fourth foul, and in his opinion the difference in the game was that the Warriors struggled with the foul.
“I think the whole game was just because we kept fouling,” Kerr said. “We talked regarding that, it’s important that you can’t give up easy points in a series. If you can’t play at your own pace, You’re going to drop 29 points at the free throw line.”
