Wizards' Jordan Poole faced his old team and scored 38 points, showing extremely strong offensive firepower and becoming the top scorer of the game.

 

At the beginning of the game, Warriors' Draymond Green made his comeback, but unfortunately he was injured again in the first quarter and was forced to retire.

The Wizards performed well on both offense and defense, and once expanded their lead to double digits. At the end of the first half, the Wizards led the Warriors by 7 points, 60-53.

At the beginning of the second half, the Wizards continued to maintain their offensive momentum. Poole's long-range shooting was hot, helping the Wizards to maintain their lead. However, the Warriors gradually adjusted their rhythm. Curry led the team to counterattack, and Wiggins scored frequently inside and outside, gradually narrowing the score. Before the end of the third quarter, the Warriors overtook with a strong offensive.

In the final quarter, Curry was unable to play at full strength due to injury, but the Warriors did not slow down the pace. Wiggins made consecutive key shots, Moody and Schroeder provided firepower support, and Payton II showed excellent performance on the defensive end. In the final moments, Curry and Wiggins made three-pointers in succession, completely extinguishing the Wizards' hope of a counterattack, and the Warriors finally won the game with an 8-point advantage.
