With this in mind, it's good to see The Warrior's Gate, a film unashamed of its inherent silliness, taking its young hero on a roller coaster ride through ancient China. Sometimes it's good to stop worrying about the details and let the imagination flow. 'This week Johnny discovers a tunnel into a world of dinosaurs under his garden hedge,' an approach that worked wonderfully in the Fifties, is no longer considered good enough - but the fact remains that there are a lot of young people who still enjoy that kind of thing. The genre has perhaps been eroded by an increasing sense that stories need to justify themselves. Los Angeles challenged a called offensive foul that was overturned to a blocking foul and Kerr challenged a called blocking foul that was unsuccessful.There's been a shortage of adventure films aimed at teenagers in recent years. Three of Green’s total five personal fouls were blocks on Davis, including two that underwent a coach’s challenge. But, similar to Game 1, Green played just 23 minutes in Game 3 as he racked up three fouls before the half. Green held him to 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting and five free throws in their Game 2 win. Crucial to the Warriors success is his ability to contain towering center Anthony Davis without fouling. Green was at the center of the foul drama. “We lost our poise,” coach Steve Kerr said. Frustrated, they collected three technical fouls and Moses Moody a Flagrant 1 foul, all in that second quarter. And the Lakers have just the move to make that habit kick in.Īll that time the Lakers spent at the free throw line not only added 28 points to their total score, but pushed Golden State into the mud. Meltdowns were a common thread through the Warriors’ mediocre stretches in the regular season Green would sometimes chide his team for lacking the mental toughness required to survive the target on their and conquer opposing teams’ comebacks.Īt the worst time, the Warriors’ worst habits crept back in. Under the playoff lights, they also lost their composure. When the game stopped, the Warriors lost their flow. The Lakers, in particular, have a spotty transition defense that the Warriors can feast on if they’re forcing turnovers and pick up the pace off misses - and even makes. Green said problems cropped up when the game stopped - that’s because the Warriors can best succeed if the game keeps moving. Poor shooting nights and turnover woes stem from the free throw game. The Big 3 of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Green finished minus-26, minus-23 and minus-27, respectively. A 39.6 percent shooting clip from the field marked just the second time they’ve shot under 40 percent in these playoffs (the other was Game 6 against the Kings). They turned the ball over 19 times, including nine in the costly second quarter. Plenty of other factors contributed to the Warriors’ Game 3 loss. The Lakers took 17 free throws to the Warriors’ 16 in Golden State’s Game 2 win. The Lakers took 37 free throws to the Warriors’ 17 on Saturday and 29 to the Warriors’ 6 in Game 1. The Lakers’ two wins came with a massive disparity in free throw attempts taken between teams. Green’s answers might’ve been short, but hit right on what could determine this series.
