NBA regular season, the Warriors home to meet the Western Powerhouse Nuggets, the two teams are different, the Warriors last defeated the Clippers, the last four games suffered three losses, and the Nuggets got two consecutive wins, after trading, they are getting better and better, four quarters of the competition, the Warriors in the first three quarters of the lead, to the fourth quarter by the Nuggets reversed, through Morris's key three-point kill, 1 point to win the Warriors, get three consecutive wins at the same time, give the Warriors 5 games and 4 losses.
From the beginning of the game, the Warriors showed a very strong offensive feel, Wiggins's three-point shot, Payton's basket to win, let the Warriors always maintain the lead on the court, the opening three minutes, the Nuggets only Green shot in the middle, Thompson long-range jump shot hit, directly stopped the Nuggets, after the adjustment, the Nuggets began to attack the inside, Jokic continued to attack the Warriors' weak inside line, with Forbes breakthrough, the Warriors led by 8 points to end the first quarter, to the second quarter, the Nuggets offensive feel undiminished, constantly narrowing the point difference, Cummingga and Curry combined to score five points in a row, the Nuggets' outside shooters suddenly found their form, Green and Hyland hit three consecutive three-pointers, Cuminga used the dunk to boost the morale of the team, and the Warriors stabilized the point difference to about 9 points under the excellent play of the bench.
In the third quarter, the start was completely the rhythm of the Warriors, Curry, Thompson's breakthrough, so that the point difference was constantly widened, to the second half of the quarter, Jokic once again controlled the game, leading the Nuggets to play a 7-0 offensive climax, with Curry's two points again, and Thompson's defensive counterattack hit, the Warriors led by 8 points into the final quarter, in the final quarter, Green's three points, Forbes's throw, plus Morris and Jokic's mid-range shot, they chased back the point difference, Mobley first hit the basket to counter the score, the key moment, Curry reached 2+1, helped the Warriors to surpass 1 point, back, Morris outside the line again got a three-point opportunity, Curry could not prevent it, Morris hit a three-point shot, killed the Warriors, and completed a three-game winning streak.
The Warriors played very well in this game, their entire team of 7 people scored in double figures, 9 people rotated all scored, Wiggins scored 9 points and Bjelica scored 4 points is the lowest score for the whole team, Curry played 39 minutes, 10 of the 19 shots, got 25 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Curry's three-point error, only 7 of 1, although he tried his best, shot the key shot, but was still reversed by the Nuggets in the last moment.
There are three reasons for the Warriors to lose, one is that Thompson and Wiggins are sluggish, the two shot only 9 of 27, 15 of 4 three-pointers, Thompson scored 16 points, Wiggins scored in double figures, as Curry's best teammate, the two played crucially, and now the two are depressed, so that Curry has encountered a lot of pressure, second, the whole team is three-point inaccurate, 34 shots 10, Curry 7 of 1, such a performance is not the real strength of the Warriors, coupled with the weak interior line, let the Warriors lose one or the other. Third, Kerr's tactical problems, at the critical moment Kerr did not arrange for Little Payton to carry out targeted three-point defense, Little Payton made 6 steals in the whole game, plus or minus the highest value of the whole team, and in the last few minutes, Kerr directly took Down Little Payton, which also caused Morris's three-point pointer to be undefended, easily completing the three-point shooting, resulting in the Warriors directly losing.
Compared to the Warriors' constant mistakes in the game, the Nuggets played very steadily, Jokic got a game-high 35 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists, Jokic attacked on the inside, the Warriors had no way to defend, Forbes scored 22 points, Morris scored 13 points, and the whole team scored 5 in double figures, although the Warriors did not fully bloom, but every point was commendable, especially Morris's key three points, showing the resilience of their whole team.
