Golden State Warriors survived even with a poor shooting percentage, barely 36.8 percent, to end up winning 97-80 to the Miami Heat at the Oracle Arena and achieve their fourth consecutive victory in Monday's NBA.
The current champions had scored more than 100 points in each regular-season game since their penultimate game last year, when they lost 105-99 to the Utah Jazz in a duel in which the holders played a few minutes thinking about the playoffs. The Warriors had a record of 3 wins and 11 defeats in the last three seasons in games where they did not reach 100 points and this time saved the situation thanks to their great defense despite the general blunder in attack. Stephen Curry, was especially unfortunate in the shot, since he converted 5 of 19 in game (3 of 10 of two points and 2 of 9 in triples), but still he put on makeup with 4 of 5 from the personal line to finish scoring 16 points. Kevin Durant was also fine with a 1 of 6 in triples, although his 10 free throws converted him as the leading scorer of the Warriors with 21 points followed by Draymond Green, who had 18 and nine rebounds.
The Warriors, who were several minutes behind on the scoreboard in the first and second quarters, gave an acceleration before the break, to which they came with a comfortable advantage of 13 points (50-37), to leave shortly after 20 ( 60-40) and reach their maximum difference one minute from the end of the game (97-74). James Johnson, with 21 points, and Goran Dragic, with 19, were the two highest scorers of the Heat.
