Madison Square Garden, end of the first quarter, 38 to 33.
On the scoreboard, the Knicks trail by 5 points.
But from the performance on the court, Warriors fans believe that if not for the referees' assistance, the Knicks wouldn't stand a chance against them.
In the second quarter, Qin Yue and Curry both rested during the first half of the game.
The Warriors were led by JR Smith and Livingston, with the other three players being "Iron Bull" Green, "Second Egg" Butler, and "Fuzzy Head" Vallejo.
Ray Allen and Jamison did not play in this phase.
This is because, even with full psychological preparation, Wallace, Brown, and Green could not avoid falling into foul trouble.
Therefore, Mike Malone, who needed to extend the player rotation list, needed Ray Allen and Jamison, the two veterans, to play in the second half alongside Qin Yue and Curry.
On the Knicks' side, they only substituted Bill and Jeffries for Durant and Howard, with Harden leading the team.
