On March 4, the Warriors faced the Trail Blazers at home.
Although this game is not a life and death battle, it still affects the rankings of the two teams.
Therefore, both sides went all out in this game and did not rest the main players.
After the game started, the Trail Blazers turned away and played a small climax under the leadership of Yellow Mamba Brandon Roy, establishing their lead.
The Warriors quickly adjusted back. With Sun Yi organizing the offense, they played very smoothly on the offensive end and made more points to recover the point difference.
In the subsequent games, the two sides fought inextricably, taking the lead alternately.
When the game reached the final 35 seconds, the Warriors trailed by 2 points but had the ball.
Curry quickly dribbled the ball across half court, reached the top of the arc and passed the ball to Sun Yi.
Outside the right three-point line, Sun Yi received the pass, made a triple threat action, and took a tentative step.
Aldridge did not dare to act rashly. He knew that Sun Yi had the ability to shoot three-pointers, but he was even more afraid of Sun Yi's breakthrough with the ball.
Seeing that Aldridge did not step forward to defend, Sun Yi withdrew his probing foot, raised his hand and made a shooting motion. Seeing that Aldridge did not stumble, he immediately released the ball and started rushing into the three-point line as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Aldridge quickly moved sideways to block, but was still a step too slow, allowing Sun Yi to rush over.
Upon seeing this, other Trail Blazers players immediately retreated into the penalty area to help defend.
Sun Yi, who was walking, saw this situation and immediately scored the ball.
Curry, who ran to the left corner, received the pass. Seeing Miller rushing back quickly, he rushed forward. Without any panic, he still quickly threw the basketball in his hand.
A swish sound!
Hollow into the net!
This goal was scored and the Warriors went ahead by 1 point!
At this time, there were only 15 seconds left before the end of the game. The Trail Blazers requested a final timeout and arranged their last attack.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
Aldridge came to the sideline to serve, and other Trail Blazers players ran quickly.
The Warriors players followed the defense very closely and did not give the Trail Blazers players a chance to easily catch the ball.
With the help of his teammates' cover, Roy quickly stepped out of the three-point line to receive the pass and came to the top of the key to save time. Success or failure depended on this.
With about 10 seconds left in the game, Roy moved, quickly made a large crossover, used his explosive power to pull the ball back, dribbled behind his back and changed hands to break through to the other side.
Curry failed to intercept Roy. He was extremely upset and quickly turned around to pursue the defense.
On the other side, when Roy came to the free throw line, he immediately jumped up and shot.
At this moment, Sun Yi, who came quickly, saw the opportunity and rushed forward, straightening his arms and hitting the basketball.
Snap!
The basketball Roy had just shot was knocked away by Sun Yi's slap.
At the same time, a harsh buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 107-106 and won their third consecutive victory.

After narrowly defeating the Trail Blazers, the Warriors came to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs away from home.
The Warriors won the two previous meetings between the two sides.
In this game, the Spurs did not take a large-scale rest and sent all their main players to face the Warriors.
After the game started, the two teams were locked in a tight battle, and the point difference could not be widened.
In the following game, both sides showed their talents, and the score kept rising.
When the game lasted about 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, the veteran Spurs began to exert their strength.
This group of old guys suddenly raised their defensive intensity to playoff level, allowing the Warriors to attack one after another on offense, and then used Duncan and Ginobili to score on the offensive end, instantly widening the point difference.
The Warriors quickly adjusted and caught up with the score.
But the Spurs were superior and relied on strong defense to suppress the Warriors' counterattacks time and time again.
Just as the Warriors were quickly chasing points, there was little game time left and they were unable to overtake the score.
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Spurs 98-103, ending their three-game winning streak.
