Can only say that this game nuggets played well, Jokic slashed 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, not to mention, the team also has Gordon 21 points, Morris 24 points, Hyland 15 points, and at the last moment there is a whole game of silence but hit a difficult key three-point Barton, this time the destiny seems to be standing here with the Nuggets. It is clear that the Warriors are the passive side of this game, the beginning was Jokic's single quarter 18 points and 6 rebounds to give a baffle, Thompson and Green are deeply involved in foul trouble, the Warriors are limited to death, the half-time ball only mouth mushroom alone to play is normal, everyone else is playing iron.
In the second half, the Warriors were fortunate to start to wake up, Thompson's three points, Curry's military training Jokic, and the Warriors slowly woke up. But morris stepped forward on the Nuggets side, scoring 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and playing against the Warriors, and the Warriors still chased the point difference back, at one point in the third quarter to narrow to five points. Playing to the fourth quarter, the Nuggets are obviously a bit weak, a wave of opportunities the Warriors seized, Curry continued to single out Jokic, Green kept responding to the wonderful pass, the Warriors almost turned over, the key moment Green fouled, six fouls left the field (no awkward black meaning, real fouls).
But even so, the Warriors still smoothed out the point difference! But in the desperate situation of the draw luck does not seem to be on the side of the Warriors, first Curry single strong shot from the middle distance is not hit, then Porter grabbed the front court rebound, to the bottom corner of Thompson, Thompson empty three points do not score, and then the mouth brother obliquely stabbed out, single jumped up to make up the dunk, and then still did not score. In a key offensive round that was able to counter-overtake, the Warriors did not score three shots. And at the last minute, the Warriors' sideline ball tactics, Reeves Jr. jumped up raw and broke Porter's hanging pass, and the Warriors' luck was a little worse, and the mouth mushroom mainly received the ball and turned around to dunk under the basket.
And the Nuggets this is a three-military life, began to play for life, the feel of the outside line is the first time in the series can be with the Warriors on the soaring, the whole team three-point shot 31 shots 15, the efficiency is very high, the first game of the series with outside firepower to suppress the Warriors, is the best game in the entire series in which the Nuggets played. At the same time, in this game, Jokic is constantly surrounded by teammates to stand up, in the first half there was Gordon, Hyland, in the second half there was Morris, at the key moment there was Barton, Jokic finally got the help of a teammate. And the Warriors side is also outrageous, Curry rarely conceded 4 free throws, which is very difficult to say.
Of course, losing G4 is still acceptable for the Warriors, two away games to win one, is a mission, the next game back to the home, the Warriors can be said to have to win this game. Although it is said that the 0-3 backward flip has not been successful, but Jokic is a famous "about G7" in the league, and the Warriors do not dare to be careless, so the G5 is a backwater battle for the Warriors. And then for the Warriors, Curry may be returning to the starting lineup, Poole only 10 shots 3 of this game, the offensive end is very sluggish, the Warriors have no more test lineup capital.
