THE THE WINNERS OF THE GOLDEN Empire

Last night, Combatant showed us once again how good they can be at shooting all cylinders, and that means good championship. Golden State used a balanced offensive effort and tight defense to knock out Dallas, 112-87, in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Seven Golden State players – including five starters – scored twice as much. Stephen the curry lead with 21 points (as well as 12 rebounds), and Jordan Poole there are 19 points.
The Warriors won in the quick break category, 18-7, and the paintwork score, 44-32.
Luka Doncic only 20 points on Shoot 6 for 18and Mavericks when a team shoots just 36% from the pitch and 23% on 3 pointers, both of which are their worst this season.

The Warriors are the best-performing team in the third half this season, and that showed last night when Golden State edged Dallas, 34-24, in the frame. Klay Thompson – failed to score in the first half – had 11 points in the half, and Curry had nine, including a pair of 3-pointers.

But that’s only part of the equation. The other part is that Golden State is still leading, 54-45, at halftime – despite the struggles of Thompson and Curry – because Andrew Wiggins (15 points in the first half), Poole (nine points in the first half) and Kevon Looney (eight points in the first half) was excellent. When the stars took over, the Golden State went from existence to development in a hurry. This game shows the auras of the Dynasty Warriors, note NBA expert Jack Maloney.

Maloney: “During the heyday of this Warriors championship, they made it a habit to split the opening games in the third quarter. They would adjust, increase the intensity, and before the opponent knew what was going on, they would. will turn competitive matches into losses.In Game 1, they showed they still have it Magic. While the Warriors were in the lead for most of the first half, the Mavericks were just nine goals ahead at halftime and still well within the distance. By 7:16 remaining in the third inning, the Warriors were up 18 and the game was essentially over. “

Honorable mention

Not to mention such honor

PGA Championship experts choose and fall asleep 🏌

The PGA Championship begins today, and if you’re trying to figure out who you’ll pick, look no further. Our expert predictions because the winners, sleepers, top 10 locks, Tiger Woods predictions and more. For the winner, our golf reporter Patrick McDonald likes a player who has won it twice this season.

McDonald’s: “Sturdy and fast conditions – where iron play and power around the green field is required – shout out Hideki Matsuyama with me. The 2021 Masters champion has been on two wins for the season and is finally looking his usual self at AT&T Byron Nelson after suffering a neck injury. The key will be his putter – as usual – but these curving lawns have to be to his liking. “

Meanwhile, there are 156 players on the field at Southern Hills, but only nine people can actually win it, according to golf expert Kyle Porter. Fortunately for me, his list including one of my favorites:

Porters: “It’s pretty simple for Colin Morikawa. His stats show that if he bets, he wins. He has the ability to absolutely dissect this golf course with his gritty play in a way that only a handful of players in the world can. If he feels it on the pitch like he does at Royal St. George’s last July, it’s going to be an absolute show. “

Our golf team did a great job – you can check it out all their PGA championships work here – and make sure you know how to watch as this year’s second major is underway.
