On April 28, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. In today's Game of Western Focus, the Warriors played game 5 of the series against the Nuggets at home. In this series, the Warriors currently lead 3-1 and will advance to the Western Conference semifinals if they win today.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides had a strong smell of gunpowder. During an offensive round for the Nuggets, Gordon burst into the inside line and was destroyed by Green, and then the referee blew Gordon for an offensive foul. Perhaps upset by being blown foul, Gordon then continued to rush to the basket to dunk demonstrations, and was blown for a technical foul.
Curry then performed a technical foul penalty, but did not score. It is worth mentioning that in the two teams of G4, as the most accurate player in the league, Curry missed as many as 4 free throws, creating a career regular season + playoff worst record. Today his hand still feels bad.
In addition, in this round, Thompson was also involved, and he chased Gordon and talked nonsense. In today's game, Thompson caused consecutive kills from the beginning, and he made 4 of 4 free throws in the opening 5 minutes. According to statistics, the last time he won four free throw opportunities in a single game, it goes back to February 17, when the opponent was also the Nuggets!
At the end of the first quarter of the two teams, the Warriors led the Nuggets 30:25, Curry shot 3 of 8, including 2 of 5 three-pointers for 8 points and 3 rebounds, Thompson had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Poole and Wiggins had 6 points each. The Nuggets Jokic had six points, 10 rebounds and three assists, and Gordon scored 12 points.
