Although Jokic got 37 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, becoming the first playoff 35+15 in team history, green who was in line with him was widely praised, this battle, Green played 35 minutes, shot 2 of 6, 3 of 3 three points, 1 of 4 free throws, contributed 6 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and rushed to the top of the hot search after the game.
In the final moments of the third quarter of the game, Jokic was substituted back to the bench. He was flushed and panting heavily, and the sweat had soaked his clothes.
Murray doesn't play, Porter Jr. can't come back, and Jokic, who leads the team with a single core, is too difficult. In the first half, Jokic had 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 breaks, and none of the others scored in double figures. Interestingly, Jokic's efficiency was +6 on the field in the regular season and -3.5 when he was off the field. The playoff stats reversed, with a net efficiency of -22.5 on the floor and +4.5 on the field.
This is jokic's difficulty today, even if he tries his best, but it is difficult to fight with two fists and four hands. In the third quarter, he struggled to support and led the team to a rebound. However, the Nuggets returned to the court in the fourth quarter and fell behind again. Just after the Nuggets rebounded 111-109, Kerr waved a big hand, Wiggins came off the bench, and the Warriors' new version of the death five, a wave of 8-0, took away the game.
Green has an important role to play in the Warriors' new version of the Death Five, especially his defense, which was his key steal against Jokic in the final moments that took away the victory. It is worth mentioning that the number of career steals in the playoffs exceeded 200 (199 before the game), becoming the fifth player in NBA history to deliver at least 200 steals in the playoffs and at least 10 triple-doubles after Larry Bird, Magic, James and Kidd.

After the game, Nuggets coach Malone said, "The key to our victory is to keep Looney on the court, and it's not disrespectful to Looney. Yes, from another side, it proves the impact and importance of Green's game today.
