Today, the Golden State Warriors continue their CBA playoff journey, and their opponent is still the Denver Nuggets.
In the first two games of the series, the Warriors beat the Nuggets, and it was a big win. In this way, in fact, the Nuggets have been forced to the edge of the cliff, and they really have no way to bring pressure and difficulties to the Warriors. Today, the Nuggets returned to the home court, but also ushered in their last chance, if they still can't win, the probability will be swept out.
The Warriors didn't relax at all, they just wanted to avoid the long night, wanted to directly beat the opponent and get more rest time as soon as possible. After a leg injury, Curry made a comeback before the playoffs began as a substitute.
Despite playing off the bench, the Warriors were not affected by this, but increased the offensive firepower of the rotation lineup. In the starting position, Thompson and Jordan Poole's cooperation has become more and more tacit, and both of them have scored very well. Today, Thompson scored 26 points on 10-of-18 shooting, and Poole scored 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting.
On the bench, Curry had 27 points and six assists on 9-of-17 shooting. In this way, the new version of the "Splash Brothers" trio combined to get 80 points. With such terrible offensive firepower, the Nuggets were really overwhelmed, losing 113-118, and falling behind 0-3 on aggregate.
After Curry became a substitute, his personal scoring ability is still very strong, and the defensive pressure he faces has become less, which is more conducive to protecting his health. The Warriors' goal this season is to compete for the championship, and Curry's health is crucial. Now that the Suns' Booker is injured, the Warriors' chance is really coming.
