On December 29, Beijing time, the Nuggets defeated the Warriors 89-86 to win consecutive games. After this game, the Nuggets won 17-16 to secure a fifth-place place in the West. The game was really up and down, the Nuggets once led the Warriors by 24 points in the first half, but in the second half, the Nuggets were all dudded, 14 points in the third quarter, 15 points in the last quarter, the Warriors once achieved a rebound in the second half, that is, the last 43 seconds the Warriors failed to grasp.
When Payton Jr. dunked and the two teams drew 84-84, Barton broke through the basket for two consecutive frontcourt rebounds and won 2 points, Curry did not hit the key three-pointer in the first 34 seconds of the final game, Barton quick attack Wiggins could only foul two free throws, and then Wiggins also chased only 2 points away from a dunk, Jokic a mistake gave the Warriors a chance to attack quickly, but Curry did not attack himself but divided the ball, Cuminga basket was big hated by Jokic, Campazzo was fouled by Curry two free throws, Iguodala three points the Warriors reversed 24 points to fail.
It is obvious that Jokic's 3-second block before the final game is the key to victory, he is a block from the rear, Cuminga if he did not put the ball directly on Jokic is actually half a beat slower, can only say that the rookie's lack of experience. Of course, as leaders Curry and Wiggins can not be exonerated.
This night was originally Curry's night, which was an important moment for him to break the 3000 three-point mark, there was no three-pointer in the entire first half, the third quarter was difficult to hit the first three-pointer, and even lost 4 in the last quarter, I felt that Curry had to lead the team to a 24-point reversal to enhance the legend of Curry's night, but in the end he lost and swallowed the mileage sadly, 6 of 16 in the whole game, 5 of 14 three-pointers, 23 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 37.5%, and shooting 35.7% of three-point shooting.
Although Jokic had a fatal pass error 11 seconds before the final, he redeemed himself by having a winning cover 3 seconds before the final. In the game, he shot 8 of 19, 0 of 5 from three points, and had 22 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, shooting 42.1%, and the data was already very good.
In the last three games, Jokic has scored 29 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, 26 points, 22 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, 22 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. Steals set a new season high, and Jokic is really too strong. Curry and Jokic are both MVP hits, and this game is about to add chips to the MVP.
