金州勇士队以113-112击败波特兰开拓者队，周日晚上在莫达中心，波特兰的战绩跌至43胜24负。
周日晚上，金州勇士队在莫达中心以113胜112负击败波特兰开拓者队，波特兰的战绩跌至43胜24负。，一场NBA比赛的最后六秒与一个标准的八小时轮班制的人工作日的最后一分钟完全相等。当开拓者前锋尼古拉斯·巴图姆在还剩6秒的情况下，以2分的成绩冲下勇士队的罚球线时，这是他一天中的头7小时59分钟的下午4点59分。巴图姆正在竞选本月最佳员工，为一位生病的同事助阵，做一个艰难的PowerPoint演示，甚至完成了几个大家都在追问的大销售。罚球意味着在办公室比平时晚一点，但考虑到目前的情况，这是值得的。
不幸的是，下午4点59分，他不小心在废纸篓里点燃了一团火，然后在他还没来得及抓起灭火器之前就蔓延到了会议室，接下来你会知道，他面对的是一排消防队员和关心他的市民——媒体和球迷——在一张烧焦的桌子前，他看上去和听起来都像是刚刚经历了职业生涯中最艰苦的一天。
篮球可以非常非常快地伤透人心和破坏夜晚。
巴图姆闷闷不乐地说：“很好。”，当被问及他的第二次罚球试射在获释后感觉如何时。”事实上，我很惊讶自己竟然错过了比赛。”
在那次错失的尝试之后，加时赛结束前，金州勇士队将比分追平至113分，并在加时赛前获得最后一次控球权，随后出现了抢篮板的情况，巴图姆带着球走出了那堆。这不是任何人在罚球后都会想到的位置，但在还剩3.5秒的时候，他就出现了，背对着篮筐，勇士队防守着克劳伊·汤普森。感觉到这一刻的紧迫性，他将一个三分球抛向一边。这都是反应，没有计划；高弧度射门远未命中，在时间到期之前，它又回到了地球上，但在波特兰可以想象地再次祈祷之后。
“你看到了，[我]试图抢篮板，但没有射门，就是这样，”他说，希望尽快完成任务汇报。
在拿到球后的任何时候，巴图姆承认，他有没有想过要暂停比赛，这样波特兰队才能确定方向。他说：“比赛进行得太快了。”他明确表示，他不相信自己在三杆比赛中被汤普森犯规事实上，我甚至没有想过（叫暂停）。
波特兰队在最后几秒钟的比赛中，在那次碰撞中，在那次卡盘中，胜利悄悄溜走了，巴图姆也有机会登上新闻头条，他得到了23分（13投7中）、14个篮板、5次助攻和3次抢断。在比赛最长的42分钟里，他命中了5个三分球，包括在剩下的4分钟多一点的时候一个很酷的向前投篮，他甚至还为自己创造了一些运球机会。他一开始就在罚球线上，因为他在玻璃上比安德烈·伊古达拉（Andre Igoudala）更努力地抢下了进攻篮板，巧妙地通过触球将一记反攻球抛向对方，以获得一个哨子。下午4点59分有时会很残酷。
波特兰队上次击败西部季后赛球队已经将近两个月了，开拓者队在第四节的胜利变成了失败，其方式多得数不清。虽然比较游戏后期的崩溃有点像比较离婚——“与前两个相比，我的第三个前妻在整个孩子监护权问题上更容易相处”——但拉马库斯·奥尔德里奇·莱斯布雷泽运动夹克在得出结论的过程中做了很多好事。
的确，“崩溃”太厉害了：开拓者在下半场丢了69分，其中斯蒂芬·库里和汤普森的组合27投51分，但他们在进攻上避免了严重的干旱，而且他们绝对没有屈服。在比赛的最后2:30，金州勇士队三次领先得分，波特兰队三次都以自己的得分作为回应。李大卫上篮很艰难；达米安·利拉德曾两次罚球。汤普森在离比赛还有不到一分钟的时间里投了一个三分球；里拉德投下了一个巨大的扣篮，开拓者队出现了一个失误，里拉德又投进了一对罚球。汤普森钉了一颗钉子her three-pointer, and Lillard attacked the hoop early, missing a layup but leaving enough time for a second-chance opportunity like the one Batum created with his offensive rebound.
"I don't think this one was really a let up, the way the other games were last week," said Lillard, who posted a team-high 26 points (on 8-for-22 shooting) and seven assists. "This was a good [Warriors] team making shots. We didn't come down [and] turn the ball over. We got good looks. It was a game where they played the better game down the stretch."
Some of the Warriors' shots were downright spectacular. Even before Thompson's back-to-back knockout threes, there was plenty of Splash Brothers highlight reel material, as Golden State's two guards combined to score 30 of Golden State's 36 points in the final period. Everything came on jumpers or at the foul stripe, as neither Curry nor Thompson scored a point in the paint during the game's final 17 minutes.
"We did what we could," Lillard said of Portland's perimeter defense. "[Curry] has the ball in his hands so much. We tried to keep him on one side but they've got so many shooters that you've got to space out [defensively]. He came off [the screens], for a big man in that position, it's tough. He's probably the best shooter in the league, when he gets those shots coming off pick-and-rolls, he's going to make them."
The "whoaaaaa" moment of the "whoa" quarter came when the undersized Curry fought to claim his only steal of the game before bringing the ball up somewhat leisurely in transition. Using a hesitation move to get himself towards the left corner, he went behind his back from left to right to gain a rhythm before going behind his back from right to left to absolutely shake Matthews. Now open, if only briefly, he calmly drained one of his six three-pointers on the night. Then, not too far from where LeBron James once spanked himself, Curry executed a shorts-tugging power squat celebration to underline the end-to-end play.
"He's a superstar," Matthews said of Curry, who would finish with 37 points (on 11-for-24 shooting), five assists and four rebounds after going scoreless for the game's first 20 minutes.
"To get up 18 against a tough team that's playing desperate and right behind us in the standings [and lose], it's upsetting," Matthews continued. "Last year, we get down and we were almost expecting to lose. We don't feel that way this year. We're confident. We've won a lot of late games. We just didn't close the door. You have to close the door on a team like this, more than one time, because they're going to keep firing, keep shooting and keep coming back at you."
That the Warriors did, and they took advantage of the Blazers' slip-ups. Portland coach Terry Stotts and guard Mo Williams both received technical fouls in the fourth quarter, gifting two points to Golden State. One of Lee's baskets was set up by a beautiful pass from Harrison Barnes, who was commanding more defensive attention than necessary; Thompson's final three-pointer was set up by the Blazers sucking in on a Curry drive, opening up the opportunity for a bang-bang passing sequence from Curry to Barnes to Thompson. The Warriors made the Blazers pay for these flubs, as experienced playoff teams do, and that fact left the Blazers locker room with plenty of sagging shoulders and blank countenances.
"They've done it before," Batum said of Curry and Thompson. "Sometimes you can put two hands on them, and they'll make the shot anyway. Wes did a good job on Steph Curry at the end. They make tough shots, that's what they do."
Just as "almost" can be one of life's most distressing sensations, "barely" can often feel perfect.
"That's as good of a win as we've had in three years," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "In the first half, we were selfish offensively and defensively. ... I'm awfully proud of them because it would have been very easy to fold our tent and hang our heads."
Random Game Notes
Terry Stotts' Post-Game Comments
Opening comments
It's disappointing to lose another close game. I thought we played a good game, Stephen Curry got hot in the second half. We had some miscommunication on giving up some threes, we've got to figure out ways to close out a game. Realize, when we have a 16 or 18 point lead, we can't let our foot off the gas. Steph Curry, he's done that before and we couldn't get him under control.
Stopping Stephen Curry
He's done that a few times in his career. You can say you can trap him, but that opens up other guys rolling to the basket, opens up other three-point shooters. I thought Wes did a good job on him towards the end of the fourth quarter. We did a good job on him in the first half. To be honest, I thought the shots he made in the second half were tougher than the ones he missed in the first.
Stephen Curry's play-making as key to setting up other guys late
Some of them. The last three Thompson got, he penetrated, we committed to him, he got to the lane, kicked it out, extra pass, for another three. With a team that can shoot it like that, it's kind of pick your poison. We did a good job -- they only had 17 assists in a high scoring game. A lot of the stuff they did was off the dribble or one on one.
Call a timeout late?
It all happened so fast. The earliest he could have called timeout was at 2.5. It's a split-second. You grab the ball, it's easy to say what you should have done, but he made a hell of an effort to get it. You've got to make a split-second decision. It's tough when the clock is counting down. Who is to say if we had a timeout or not, if we had called timeout on that, but it was a good effort on that to come up with the ball.
Low confidence late in games?
It doesn't seem like it to me. We're still playing hard. A bounce of the ball here or there and i don't think it's a question of confidence.
Late technical fouls
My technical, I didn't say anything. I just pointed at the other end. I think Tony was just trying to make a point. You don't want to give up points. It's easy to look back at a one-point game and look at where points came from.

Portland Trail Blazers勇敢地战斗，但Stephy Curry和Klay Thompson的鼻塞证明了太多了黄金州勇士队逃离波特兰，胜利113-112胜利。
the Portland Trail Blazers在 Golden State Warriors 今晚，113-112。没有Lamarcus Aldridge那种燃烧器把六名球员放进双人物，以推动金州的恶性反击攻击。波特兰建造了一个18磅的领先，但不能握住它，看着游戏滑倒，因为他们的第四期的执行失效了，勇士队让他们付出了付费。有趣的是，大男子今晚开了这个节目对于两支球队。虽然在这种情况下，“Big”是波特兰的慈善课程 Robin Lopez 和 Dorell Wright 对阵 Andrew Bogut 和 Davidlee 。李发布和肌肉赖特。赖特用三倍和一个驱动器返回了青睐。 Robin Lopez swung his weight in the lane, both offensively and on the boards. Bogut dribbled around him on the other end. Portland did well enough but any advantage they gained got squandered by turnovers. Still, the Warriors never caught fire. Indeed, it looked like they were shooting with one contact in. Normally-stead three-pointers sprayed left, right, long. I'd like to say that Portland's defense was the main cause but truthfully the Warriors were uncharacteristically cold. The jumpers were open. They took the first ones available. They missed nearly all of them.
As the first period progressed it looked like the game might turn out moderately-paced and low-scoring, a surprise given the matchup. The stanza came to a close with Portland leading 24-23. But the minutes surrounding the turn of the quarter favored the Warriors. They fielded a bigger lineup and a better bench. But Portland's starters returned midway through the period with a renewed commitment to protecting the ball and upping the tempo. Between them Damian Lillard, Nicolas Batum, and Robin Lopez made Warrior Hash. Lopez tenderized them, pounding unmercifully while Lillard and Batum sliced and diced them into itty bitty pieces. Batum would hit a trio of three-pointers in the final six minutes of the period while Lillard canned one of his own. Layups and rebounds got sprinkled throughout. Meanwhile the Warriors still missed...and missed...and missed. Their lone bright spot came when Steph Curry finally hit a three with 9 seconds remaining in the half. It wasn't much. The Blazers playing fast, playing hard, playing smart. Meanwhile it was slow "D" and no 3 for Golden State...pretty much a disaster. Portland led 55-44 at intermission.
The third period opened much as the second had ended, with the Blazers running circles around Golden State, hitting 4 threes in 3.5 minutes, while the Warriors stuck their hands in their pockets and said, "That's unfortunate." Portland built a 70-52 lead before the tide turned, oddly enough at the hands of reserve forward Draymond Green. He drove the lane on offense and turned up the defensive intensity to 11. You wouldn't think one guy could make such a difference but whatever he did worked. The light turned on for the entire Golden State team. Up to this point they had played without focus, precision, or any kind of continuity, almost as if they expected to take the floor and beat the Blazers via superior talent. Green reminded them that they had to work for it, and that working for it could be fun. And man, did the Warriors start having fun. Curry, a non-factor prior to the 6:00 mark of the third period, started stroking home the open shots his team had been missing all game. After a couple went down it didn't matter whether he was covered or not anymore. He splashed the net again and again...and again...and again. And again. And again.
With Curry starting to draw attention, pretty soon Klay Thompson found himself wide open and inspired. And he started going off again...and again...and again. Those guards were like a mudslide burying the twee little 18-point house the Blazers had constructed not knowing they were in a flood plain. Portland's bench couldn't stop them late in the third. Portland's starters and hybrid lineups couldn't stop them in the fourth.
Lillard did his best to answer back, driving and shooting, trying to match Curry blow for blow. But Golden State's defense was tighter than Portland's was. Lillard always found himself in crowds. Sometimes he used it to good effect, drawing fouls, but with Curry finding separation into space on more possessions the difference soon began to show.
The Warriors used a nifty offensive plan to great effect, a plan Portland is sure to see more of in the post-season. It's called the "They Gotta Guard Someone" set. Whomever Mo Williams or Lillard was watching, that's where the ball went. Curry, Thompson, some of the bigs on switches...they took turns pasting points on Portland guards. Williams and Lillard scored too, but not as often. Batum tried to ride to the rescue, hitting a three, getting an and-one, making sure the ball went away from his man on defense, but it wasn't enough.
Golden State drew near by the 6:00 mark in the fourth then went past on 2 foul shots and a technical. Batum put the Blazers back on top and the final four minutes of the game were a gnashing, snarling mash-up of three-pointers and foul shots punctuated by the occasional drive and dunk. The Warriors sank 2 long balls and 3 foul shots down the stretch. The Blazers would hit 2 triples and 5 free throws of their own. Unfortunately the Blazers needed 6. Batum, after playing one of his best games of the season and keeping Portland afloat thereby, developed a lean and a tick on his second of two free throws with 5 seconds remaining, missing and leaving the Blazers down 1. He got his own miss but Golden State was all over him. With the clock winding down he retreated directly backwards, beyond the three-point arc, and was forced to throw up a backwards leaner. That fell well short, the ball got tipped twice in the lane, and the clock expired with Golden State celebrating.
The final minute of this game was epic. The two teams began tied at 107 and combined for 8 scoring opportunities in 60 seconds. Nobody held the ball. Nobody drained the clock. It was the kind of closing you love to see, less chess match than donnybrook. The Blazers coming out on the short end mars it for Portland fans but it was a wild ride and a great game nevertheless. Despite the heartbreak, the Blazers acquitted themselves well without their star player. Golden State played half a game but when they finally put their foot on the accelerator they blew the doors off. It feels like SNL's Stephon should be doing the review. "This game had everything. Batum Bombs, Lillo-Dunks, KlayMation, Cuddle-Bear Aerobicize..."
Seth Meyers: "What's Cuddle-Bear Aerobicize?"
Stephon: "It's that thing where Steph Curry hits a three-pointer then turns and squat-thrusts to the crowd while roaring like a wild animal. Rawr! He's so cute!" :::fold hands to lips:::
The "L" notwithstanding, the Blazers did some nice things in this game. They matched the non-motivated Warriors in the paint and on the break. They calmed down after the early flurry of turnovers, committing only 12 for the game. They won the offensive rebounding battle, though not by much. (Still, they gave up size in the frontcourt and managed to rebound quite well.) Portland shot a wonderful 12-28, 42%, from the arc. Golden State ended the game 11-30 for 37%. That was quite an accomplishment considering they hit maybe 2 of their first dozen. Portland dominated the Warriors at the foul line as well, hitting 26-30 foul shots while Golden State managed only 18-22.
In the end, Golden State's big edge came in simple field goal percentage mathematics. Both teams attempted 88 shots. The Warriors shot 48%, the Blazers 42%, and the Blazers came a point short of making up the difference in the extra-credit three-pointer and free throw departments.
As far as losses go, this was a hard one but also a pretty well-played one. Credit to the Warriors and the Blazers both. If Portland plays like this against Milwaukee on Tuesday the score should be 160-2.
Individual Notes
Damian Lillard scored 26 but only shot 8-22 from the field and 1-6 from distance. His biggest accomplishment: 9-10 from the foul line, the biggest part of Portland's biggest advantage in this game.
Nicolas Batum went the opposite way, hitting 7-13 from the field, 5-9 from beyond the arc, scoring 23 and adding 14 rebounds and 3 steals, and generally making a nuisance of himself. That final missed free throw shouldn't be the enduring memory from this game. Batum was great.
Where was Wesley Matthews though? It was a Bad Wes night with 3-12 shooting, 1-5 from distance, and 6-6 free throw shooting getting him to 13 points total.
Robin Lopez went 5-12 from the field, his good looks looking good and his bad looks looking bad...no surprises. He had 5 offensive rebounds, 10 total, and chipped in 4 assists as the surprise of the night. It was a good game for Lopez considering the Warriors went small for much of the evening.
Dorell Wright held his own in what could have been an ultra-tough matchup. He survived by shooting 5-6 from the field, 3-4 from distance for 13 points. That's a stretch forward. The Blazers couldn't play him long (17 minutes total) but he made the most of his time. I'd say it was a near-perfect outing for a guy playing out of position.
Mo Williams returned tonight, started out kind of slow, but then poured on the scoring to the tune of 5-10 from the field, 2-3 on the long balls, and 12 points in 31 minutes. He also had 2 steals but 4 personal fouls. Defense mentioned above.
Will Barton and Victor Claver had opposite nights. Barton tallied 6 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists in 16 minutes but shot 2-8 in order to do it and didn't look that effective when he wasn't rebounding. Claver scored 0 with only 3 rebounds in 12 minutes but kept containment and kept his team in the offense via the principle of non-interference.
Thomas Robinson had a mighty 4 rebounds in 9 minutes but also a not-so-might 3 fouls and a wishy-washy 2-5 shooting rate.

在没有林马库阿尔德里奇的情况下，开拓者均衡得分均衡，由达米安拉德尔（26分，7次助攻），尼古拉斯巴特鲁姆（23分，14个篮板）和罗宾·洛佩兹（14分，10个篮板）。
我中断这回顾一下，提醒您，西装外套的边缘有自己的NCAA支架挑战！请查看它。 第一季度：燃烧器的固体季度，因为它们在12分钟内保持纤薄的铅。波特兰与过渡防守挣扎，最近一个受欢迎的问题，但留下了半场的战士，有些冷射击所帮助。另一端，他们在Klay Thompson中吸引了两个早期犯规，并使用了均衡的攻击来将黄金状态发挥到静止。 波特兰24，金态23 非常第一季度： 第二季度：勇士早期领先，但随着燃烧者把他们的起点带回了，他们拿起了防守并奔跑了。当莫威廉姆斯交给了巴特姆的快速休息，波特兰有一个10点领先并强迫超时。黄金状态无法在进攻端开始任何东西，甚至缺少他们通常制作的镜头。 The Blazers kept it going, including a Batum three-pointer on a broken play that went all the way into the backcourt. Stephen Curry took control of the Warriors offense, keeping them close as the quarter wound down. Portland 55, Golden State 44 Impressed with what Claver did in his limited minutes. Got some nice rebounds and played solid defense on Lee. Third Quarter: The Blazers opened with an insane five consecutive three-point plays to pull ahead by 18 at the halfway point, before the Warriors made their inevitable run to get back into the game. Curry warmed up and cut the lead to 12 with a long three, and hit another three to pull within 11. He added two free throws to cut it to single digits, while the Warriors' defense picked up. Curry and Thompson did their thing and kept the game within reach for Golden State. Portland 85, Golden State 77 I felt like that was a good quarter... And we were outscored by 3-5 points Fourth Quarter: Another Curry three-pointer made it a 5 point game, and a tough Thompson jumper made it 3, as the remaining Blazer starters quickly returned to the game. Curry nailed another three-pointer to cut the Blazer lead to 2, and yet another Thompson three-pointer made it a one point game. Lopez missed a free throw, but so did Thompson. Portland led by 1 with 6 minutes left. On the next play, Lillard did not get a foul on the drive, but Thompson did at the other end, leading to a technical foul on Blazers' Coach Terry Stotts, and a lead for the Warriors. Meanwhile, Portland couldn't get anything started against the Golden State defense, leading to a Matthews layup attempt going over the backboard. Curry hit another three for a 4 point lead, and started jawing with the fans in the front row. Batum responded with a three point play, then a fadeaway three-pointer... swish, and the Blazers led again. Williams was called for a foul, which he disagreed with, leading to another technical foul. That gave the Warriors a three-point play and the lead. Mo responded with a three-pointer at the other end. David Lee got a layup at the other end, and the game was tied with 3 minutes left. Another Lee layup gave Golden State the lead again. With 2 minutes left, Lillard hit two free throws to tie it up. At the other end, Curry was called for the offensive foul, and Portland had a chance for the lead, but Williams turned it over. Golden State missed two chances at the lead, and Lillard missed a tough layup. With 54 seconds left, Thompson nailed a three-pointer in transition to give the Warriors a three-point lead. With 45 seconds left, the Blazers opened up the court, and Lillard packed down a monster dunk to cut the deficit to 1. Curry turned it over, and Lillard took it to the hoop in transition and missed... but he was fouled, and the Blazers took a 1 point lead. Golden State had a chance at the lead, swung it around the horn, and Thompson had a shot for three... boom. The Warriors took a 2 point lead with 11 seconds left. The Blazers went to Lillard, who missed, but Batum was fouled on the rebound. He needed both free throws to tie, and missed the second... Batum got the rebound and missed a jumper in a weird play... and the game was over, and Golden State stole the win. What's Next: A day off for the Blazers, and a status report on LaMarcus Aldridge, before the Milwaukee Bucks arrive in town Tuesday night.
