In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals.

In this game, the Warriors' backcourt core Stephen Curry's performance was obviously not as expected. Curry played 41 minutes and 57 seconds in the game, made 9 of 23 shots, 6 of 16 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored the highest score of 29 points plus 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He also had 5 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -11. Curry seemed to have won the highest score in the game, but this was based on the premise that he held a large number of shots. In fact, Curry's offensive efficiency is not ideal, and his scoring ability is not fully utilized. Not only that, Curry did not show any passing ability or organizational ability at all, and he also made a lot of mistakes. On the defensive end, Curry's performance was also very average. Overall, Curry's performance on both offense and defense is slightly worse. As the team's number one star, such mediocre performance is also a key factor in the team's failure.

In the NBA regular season this season, Curry played a total of 70 games in 82 games, averaging 32.2 minutes per game, averaging 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 93.3%. In the playoffs, Curry averaged 37.1 minutes in his first six games, with averaging 24.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.7 blocks, and 4 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage 39.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 88.5%.

Curry's performance in the playoffs still looks good, but from the actual situation, his playing time has improved significantly compared to the regular season, but has declined to a certain extent. As a player at this level and a pitcher at this level, Curry's offensive efficiency is not that excellent. Not only that, Curry's average turnover number has increased dramatically compared to the regular season, which also shows that the Rockets have played a good role in his defense. The playoffs are essentially the strength of the star. At least judging from the situation in these games, Curry has not performed at his level, which is also an important factor in why the Warriors are unable to complete the promotion. I don’t know if Curry can improve his level in the next G7 that really determines life and death.
