On April 22, 2022, the Golden State Warriors challenged the Denver Nuggets on the road. In the first two games of the series, the Warriors relied on the excellent performance of the three guards to win the game, leading 2-0. And this game has almost become a life-and-death battle for the Denver Nuggets. Because in the history of the NBA, no team has been able to flip the game without falling behind 0-3. In this game, the Nuggets still can't find a way to limit the Warriors' three guards. In the final moments, Curry scored a crucial two-pointer against Jokic, Green contributed a fatal steal, and the Warriors beat the Nuggets 118-113, once again taking away the game victory.
Throughout the game, the Warriors' "Splash Tea" combination scored a total of 80 points. Among them, Klay Thompson shot 10 of 17 and scored 26 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 blocks. Jordan Poole shot 9-of-13 and scored 27 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Curry continued to play off the bench, shooting 9-of-17 and finishing with 27 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
Although the Nuggets and Warriors did not separate the winners and losers until the last minute. Judging from the whole game, the Nuggets are still helpless against the "splash tea" combination. The Warriors relied on the mobility of the three guards to give and take on the offensive end, making the Nuggets difficult to overwhelm. If it weren't for the Nuggets' 21-6 surge in the third quarter, the game would have lost suspense early. The resilience of the Nuggets in the game is respectable, but unfortunately, the gap between the guard line has been too large to be bridged, even if Jokic has done everything in his power to bomb the data of 37 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, it can still beat the Warriors' three-point rain.
Now the Nuggets are 0-3 behind, basically there is no hope of turning the tables. In the absence of the two main players of Porter Jr. and Murray, even if Jokic performed well, he was still unable to beat six hands with two fists. What's more, in addition to the "splash tea", the warriors' other players also performed well, and Green's contribution on the defensive end is not measured by the data. The Nuggets will most likely be eliminated, but the Remnant Nuggets can get to this point, which is still very respectable. Next, the Nuggets can only fight backwaters to see if they can create a miracle.
