Golden State Cried and Laughed at the Green… First Win in ‘In-Season Tournament’

Curry's final layup 0.2 seconds ago... 141-139 win over Oklahoma City

The Golden State Warriors, whose 'bad boy' Draymond Green, representing the National Basketball Association (NBA) showed his unique, unpredictable performance at the last minute, won their first win in the 'in-season tournament'.

Golden State defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 141-139 after a close game in the first game of the 2023-2024 NBA regular league game and in-season tournament held at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA on the 4th (Korean time).

The in-season tournament is a cup competition introduced for the first time this season, and is held as a regular league game without any additional schedule except for the final. https://www.totosafeguide.com

It will be held from the 4th to the 10th of next month, and will be divided into a total of 6 groups in the Eastern and Western Conferences.

A total of 8 teams will advance to the tournament, with the 1st place team from each group and 2 of the remaining 2nd place teams selected, and the final winner will be determined.

Golden State and Oklahoma City, who were placed side by side in Group C of the Western Conference, had a close game without giving up an inch from the first game.

Golden State and Oklahoma City, who finished the first half at 69-67, were tied at 106-106 at the end of the third quarter, and the game continued with neither side able to secure a win until just before the end of the game.

In the end, Stephen Curry made the final layup 0.2 seconds before the end, giving Golden State a narrow lead of 141-139.

Although Curry was the one who scored the winning goal, the player who showed the most presence in the game in the fourth quarter was Green.

Green, who made the score 130-133 with a layup and a free throw 4 minutes before the end, stepped up on defense immediately after Clay Thompson scored 3 points on offense to tie the score, and blocked Kayson Willis' layup.

However, he suddenly committed an offensive foul and even missed a layup, appearing to lose concentration.

33 seconds before the end, when the score was tied at 137-136, rookie Chet Holmgren made a 1-on-1 breakthrough, and despite a weak collision, he immediately lay down on the court.

Green jumped up and was sure it was an attacker's foul, but as a result of the video review, a defender's foul was declared, and he gave up two free throws, allowing Oklahoma City to come back.

However, in the immediate attack, Green delivered an assist that led to a fantastic alley-oop score and immediately played a key role in the comeback, 139-138.

Afterwards, in the scene where Curry's final score came out, Green almost made a big mistake that cost him the victory again.

Just as Curry's layup hit the rim several times and was about to fall inside, Green, who leapt into the air, was unable to control his movements and lightly touched the rim with his hand.

The referee reviewed the scene through video review for several minutes and eventually recognized Curry's score, giving Golden State the win.

Since this game was also a regular league game, Golden State (5 wins, 1 loss) had 5 consecutive wins.

Green, who dominated the final minutes of the game, scored 15 points and 5 rebounds.

In Golden State, Curry was the top scorer with 30 points.

Chris Paul also gave Golden State a boost by playing a stable game without making a single mistake while providing 13 assists.

In Oklahoma City (3 wins, 3 losses), Holmgren scored 24 points and 8 rebounds in an aggressive breakthrough unlike any rookie, but was unable to overcome Golden State's wall. https://textup.fr/755500DR
