On April 17, Beijing time, the first half of the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Denver Nuggets ended, and the Warriors temporarily led the opponent 58-47. In this game, Curry finally returned, and his performance was a bit difficult to say.
In the first quarter, Curry came off the bench, but Curry did not shoot in the six minutes of playing, for the first time since December 7, 2013.
However, towards the end of the second quarter, Currykong cut the dream pass to the basket and was blocked by Gordon to interfere with the ball, scoring the first point of the game. Curry gritted his braces and gave two thumbs up to the camera.
Curry then made a three-pointer at the top of the arc with just over a dozen seconds left in the second quarter. In the first half, Curry scored just five points on 2-of-8 shooting. Therefore, because Curry's state has not yet been ignited, the Warriors are ahead of their opponents, but if the Warriors want to win the game, it still depends on the performance in the second half.
In the first half, Thompson and Poole exploded. Thompson shot 5-of-9 and 4-of-7 from three-point range and had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. It's worth mentioning that this is Clay's first playoff since the 2019 Finals. Poole, on the other hand, scored 17 points on 6-of-6 shooting and performed extremely well.
