On April 22, Beijing time, the Nuggets lost to the Warriors 113-118, falling behind 0-3 in a big score (no team in history has ever fallen 0-3 behind to reverse the promotion). The Warriors led by 2 points in the first quarter of the game, the Warriors led by 10 points in the first half (up to 12 points), the Nuggets played a 30-18 climax in the third quarter to complete the rebound, and in the last quarter, Klay hit consecutive three-point shots to rebound again, Jokic helped the team to rebound again, but Gordon and Barton made consecutive mistakes to bury the game.
This game looks like a dream steal 31.8 seconds before the end of the game Jokic to seal the win, but in fact it was caused by gordon and Barton's brainless offense, the Nuggets only trailed by 3 points 1 minute and 25 seconds before the end, but Gordon immediately sent an offensive foul, Curry did not hit the Nuggets with the equaliser opportunity, Barton shot a three-point shot 1 minute before the final 1 minute from the three-point line, the ball was actually 11 seconds away, Jokic asked for the ball on the inside line he did not give.
Curry then hit a counter-attack and pulled it open to five points, after which Jokic was clearly flustered. Jokic gave Barton three points in the empty position 17 seconds before the final, and Barton was hated by Iguodala, what is this a starter?
In the previous two games, Jokic was 25+10 and one 26+11, and in G2 Jokic also ate twice and was expelled. This G3 returned to denver highlands where he could finally get some notarized sentences. The previous two fouls against Him were all complained about by Malone, who had too many fouls in the card slot and facing Jokic, and he was good enough in this game.
Jokic's performance in the final quarter was perfect, with 11 points and two rebounds in a single quarter, and he almost helped the Nuggets complete a super comeback. But he was killed by Gordon and Patton.
Jokic 38 minutes, 14 of 22, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, 37 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, shooting 63.6% from the field and 66.7% from three-point range.
The US media wrote: Jokic is still one game away from becoming the first regular season MVP in NBA history to be swept in the first round.
Jokic was still a record player, becoming the first player in the Nuggets' all-time playoff history to score at least 35 points and 15 rebounds. Unfortunately, he failed to help the team win.
