The NBA's first round of G2 officially started, the Warriors continued to sit at home to meet the Nuggets, in the first game of the series, the Warriors won a 16-point victory, the first to get the opening red, the big score 1-0 temporary lead.
G2 and G1 personnel are no different, the Nuggets are still Jokic single-core team, warriors, Curry continues to play as a substitute, Poole won the starting seat.
Combined with the two teams' first game matchups, it would be difficult for the Nuggets to win on the road unless Jokic played a dominant performance.
As soon as the game began, the Nuggets made a perfect start of 7-0, finding the feel of the inside and outside early and sweeping away the haze of the last big defeat.
The Warriors responded quickly, but the Nuggets were clearly better prepared, with the point difference being further stretched to double digits in the middle of the quarter.
Helplessly, the Warriors began to find a feel on the outside at the end of the quarter, and as Klay and Poole hit three points in a row, the Nuggets had only one point left at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Nuggets still played steadily according to their own tactical arrangements, combining the inside and outside lines, and once again pulling the point difference to double digits.
Unfortunately, for this Warriors team, a point difference of about 10 points is not a point difference at all.
Before halftime, as Curry, Klay and Poole found their grip on the three Muskets, the Warriors not only completed the rebound, but also entered the halftime with a seven-point lead.
Easy side to fight again, the Warriors in the third quarter completely found the feel, Curry shot, Poole shot, Poole shot, Klay shot, the outside three points did not stop for a moment.
On the other hand, the Nuggets have no way to feed the team to Jokic, because the outside line has no feel, resulting in 3 Warriors players on the inside line, the first lane in the Green file, Porter and Poole are ready to take the ball.
This quarter completely destroyed the Nuggets' morale, Jokic's mentality collapsed, smashing the ball to eat the first technical foul, eating another technical foul in the last quarter, directly expelled from the game, the game fell into garbage time early, the Warriors easily defeated the Nuggets 126-106, rewriting the big score to 2-0.
Jokic's helplessness is almost a microcosm of the Nuggets' presence on the court, and the Nuggets players on the defensive end have done everything they can.
But they still can't stop the Warriors from shooting three points, because the Warriors' guard line has always had two of The Poole, Klay and Curry, and the horror of the outside fire is evident.
Among them, Curry, who came off the bench, in 22 minutes, shot 12 of 17, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and bombed down 34 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and the personal plus-minus value was the highest +32 in the game.
Poole, who started in place of Curry, played 34 minutes, continued the G1 hot state, 10 of 16 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and bombed down 29 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
That put Poole in the first two playoff games of his career, a combined 59 points, ranking second in Warriors history, behind Chamberlain's 63 points.
Curry ranked fourth in team history with 49 points, showing the infinite possibilities of the young player Poole.
Clay found his hand in the third quarter with poor hand in the first half, shooting 9-of-19 from the field and getting 21 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
Three players on the court, as long as they get a margin to shoot, it is a series of three-pointers, which is the root of the Nuggets' despair.
The third quarter of the three broke out, the Warriors single quarter bombed 44 points, equaling the Warriors themselves maintained the third highest score in the third quarter of the playoffs, the first two were also maintained by the Warriors themselves, 45 points and 49 points, respectively.
