Looking at this data, the Warriors face the Timberwolves. They should be stable and win, but the referee does not agree. In the final 5.8 seconds, the referee manipulated and the warriors doomed.
So what happened in the target center in just 5.8 seconds?
When there were 5.8 seconds left in overtime, the Warriors trailed 127-130. Durant got out and received a pass from Iguodala at the top of the arc. He took a jump shot and the Timberwolves player Diop personal contacts Durant. The referee whistle, and the ball is slammed into the net. The Warriors team is celebrating this 3+1. After all, it is likely to help them complete the quasi-kill, but the referee believes that the three-pointer is invalid and is a non-shooting foul.
Then, the Warriors made the front court, Curry catches the ball near the corner, facing Bayless's defense, a three-pointer to help the Warriors tie the score, Durant's 3+1 was blown away, This account of Curry can also be used to help the warriors survive the disaster.
When you think that the two sides will enter the next overtime with 130 for sure, the referee tells you that everyone is wrong, who do you think the MVP of this game, I have not finished. The Timberwolves paused to make the frontcourt, and Downs went down. Trivo sent the ball in the direction of Downs, and Durant followed Downs.
"Bee..." The whistle sounded again, the referee whistled Durant to push the foul, and Downs executed two free throws...
The Timberwolves bench were glad, maybe they didn't expect the referee to blow such a penalty in the last 0.5 seconds. In contrast, what were the Warriors team doing at this time? Curry pretended to quit the game and leave the court, Iguodala was laughing and applauding, presumably other warriors and Kerr is already screaming.
In the end, Towns made a free throw in 2 to help the Timberwolves reverse the victory and won this very dramatic game.
In just 5.8 seconds, the Warriors experience from heaven to the hell and experienced a comedy into a tragedy. Although losing, but 11 three-pointers, Curry has tried his best to score two consecutive points before the end of the regular time, and 3 extra three-pointers in overtime. This time, Curry has already done everything he could.
And after this game, Curry's career hit at least 11 three-points has reached 8 games, and the remaining few add up to Curry’s, Clay's 14 and 11, Donyer Marshall's 12, Kobe's 12, Irving's 11, Deron's 11, JR's 11 and Dennis Scott's 11.
After the game, Kerr and Warriors’s players were straight out faced the media
Kerr said: "That is a 3+1, actually blowing a foul in advance, too unbelievable..."
Durant sarcastically said: "The referee is the strongest player on the court tonight, he will whistle too much... he made the best penalty in history..."
Curry: "You have to ask the MVP of this game, Mark Kogut!"
Bogut released in the social media: "Today is one of the most interesting nights since I joined the NBA..."
haha, for those Warriors’ words , the league will receive a fine again.
However, the Warriors lost today, they cannot blame the referee, they sent 20 assists in the first half, only 3 turnovers, leading 14 points. The second half suddenly lost, 7 assists, 11 turnovers, if the Warriors can stay focused in the second half, the game should have already no suspense.
For today’s penalty, tomorrow referee report will give the results, but in any case, the outcome of this game cannot be changed. The Warriors continue to lead the West in the rankings, but the record has been equal to the Nuggets.
The regular season is about to end, and the competition for the honors also into next level. In the MVP rankings announced by the NBA officials today, the alphabet surpassed Harden, ranking first, and the competition for other awards will follow the regular season.
