Poole scored thirty points, and he became the Warriors' third-place playoff debut player to score thirty points, along with Oxlade-Chamberlain and Richmond.
After two seasons, the Warriors are back in the playoffs again, although Curry, Green and Thompson have reached the thirty-year-old mark, but the rise of young players has rekindled the Warriors' hopes, I think, the full healthy Warriors have the strength to impact the best results, today the Warriors and nuggets played the first game of the first round of the playoffs, the game was not as intense as we expected, the Warriors won the game with a double-digit lead at home.
The Nuggets are the biggest favourites to win this season, but they didn't do as well as the Warriors in the regular season, so they lost home field advantage.
In this game, the Nuggets sent the starting players are Jokic, Gordon, Barton, Morris and Green, the bench seats are Hyland, Cousins, Rivers and Forbes, the second core of the team Murray has not returned, and Porter Jr. has also missed the game due to a back injury. The Warriors' roster is much more integrated, Curry returned from injury, but remained on the bench, and the Warriors sent starting players were Thompson, Poole, Wiggins, Green and Looney.
While both teams are good at offense, they were both very cautious in the first quarter, scoring not high in a single quarter, and the Nuggets scored one more point than the Warriors. Poole exploded in the second quarter, scoring fourteen points on five-of-five shooting in the quarter, and the Warriors came back, with an eleven-point difference between the two sides after the end of the first half. The Warriors' offense remained sharp in the third quarter, while the Nuggets scored less than twenty-five points in a single quarter again, with the final quarter left in the game, and the gap had widened to twenty points. In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets tried to chase, but the point difference was too large, and in the end they chose to give up and replace the starters before the game was over.
The Warriors beat the Nuggets 123-107 and had six draws in this game, with the Nuggets leading by 6 points at most, the Warriors leading by 24 points at most, and the point difference at the end of the game was 16 points.
