Curry has played two playoff games in a row as a substitute due to injuries. Despite the limited time to play, he was still able to show the style of a team leader. In the first game, he only played 21.7 minutes, and he was able to help the team beat the opponent's crucial 17 points in the process of delivering 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Statistics don't lie, and Curry is on the court and not on the floor for the Warriors. In the G2 showdown, Curry's playing time came to nearly 23 minutes, and he actually shot 12 of 17 in a single game, giving a game-high score of 34 points, as well as 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
The results of the facts prove that Curry can perform freely, whether in the starting position or as a substitute. After the first round of the series scored 2-0 and gained absolute initiative, the Golden State Warriors came to Denver to challenge the Nuggets. Perhaps, the Warriors who played on the road will never hear the cheers that resound throughout the stadium again, but they can still conquer the Denver fans. So, what kind of sparks will burst out of this competition between the two sides?
In the first half of the competition, the Warriors who played away were the first to enter the state, achieving a feat of domination. Curry still came off the bench, but the Warriors were able to play a 34-32 score with the help of Klay and Poole's scores, taking a two-point lead. And entering the second quarter showdown, the Warriors, who have the lead in the score, can still follow the trend and continue to expand the point difference between the two teams. Curry, who came off the bench, was not ordinary, shooting 3 of 4 in the second quarter, sending 8 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, while Poole also had 8 points and 1 rebound, which helped the team play a 35-27 score to get an 8-point lead.
The point difference between the two sides was widened to double digits, and the Nuggets wanted to achieve a reversal, which was obviously not so easy. But after Yibian fought again, the situation changed dramatically! Jokic showed his might in the third quarter, actually sending 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal of luxurious data, leading the team to play a 30-18 score, not only chasing back the 10 points behind in the first half, but also achieving a 2-point counterattack. But in the final quarter of the tiebreaker, the Warriors still showed their unparalleled offensive aggressiveness, with Curry sending 8 points and 2 assists, and Klay and Poole sending a crucial 12 points.
With the team's players in succession, the Warriors sent a 31-24 score in the final quarter and won the game with a score of 118-113. After the game, the Warriors led 3-0 in the first round of the playoff series to win the match point. With only one game left to win in the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors' championship dreams are one step closer! Jokic was once again in the embarrassment of being alone in this game, sending a game-high score of 37 points, as well as 18 rebounds and 5 assists, and failed to help the team complete the final reversal.
The Warriors' players on the Warriors side played a state of bloom everywhere: Klay sent a key 26 points, Poole also had a 27+3+3 data contribution, and Curry on the bench also refused to be a supporting role, sending 27 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. With the help of the three of them, the Warriors' outside three-pointers not only reproduced the splash of the past, but even played the performance of the waterfall at one point! That's right, Clay hit 6 three-pointers, Poole hit 3 three-pointers, and Curry also had three three-pointers. Overall, the Warriors' 18 three-pointers in a single game are not too good compared to the Nuggets' 11 three-pointers.
