After failing to win the G3 at home, the Nuggets, who are 3-0 behind in the playoffs, will revive this campaign and will compete with the Warriors for the first round of G4 in the series.
In terms of the Nuggets, Jokic town guarded the inside line, and whether the Nuggets could pull back a city and refuse to sweep out 0-4 in this game has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game.
On the other hand, on the Warriors side, although Jordan Poole is in a hot state, but in this away game, whether the Warriors can withstand the pressure to win the G4 will obviously fall into a bitter battle!
However, after 4 quarters of the game, with the excellent play of Jokic + Hyland, the Nuggets, who played at home, overpowered the Warriors in the first half and achieved a huge advantage of 11 points.
Although after returning from the second half, Thompson + Green + Curry felt hot in the third quarter, leading the Warriors to constantly play counter-attacks, clinging to the score all the way, preserving the suspense of the game.
But in the final quarter, Aaron Gordon + Barton hit the key ball in a row, and the Nuggets re-established a 5-point lead, while the Warriors could not catch up with the points and had to lose.
The Nuggets, who finally withstood the pressure, also beat the Warriors at home 126-121, and at the same time won the G4 without any danger, they also pulled back a city 1-3 in the series!
Playing at home in this game, the Nuggets swept away the slump of the first three games, played a team attack with 5 people scoring in double figures, and all the staff members refused the dilemma of being swept out.
In the case of the main forces such as Barton + Hyland + Cousins, each performing their duties, the play of the three major players Jokic + Aaron Gordon + Monte Morris is particularly critical!
Jokic dominated the inside line in this game, starting 37 minutes, shooting 3 three-pointers on 14-of-21 shooting, and bombing a game-high 37 points, plus 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 18 points in the first quarter of the first quarter not only helped the Nuggets open the situation smoothly, but also laid a solid foundation for the team to win!
In addition, as the ace of the team's front line, the play of Aaron Gordon in this game also played a crucial role.
Aaron Gordon was good at attacking and defending, shooting 5-of-11 from the field, delivering an all-around performance of 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, it disrupted the Warriors' offensive rhythm and deployment many times, and successfully affected the trend of the game!
Of course, the Nuggets were able to beat the Warriors in this game, pulling back a city 1-3 in a big score, and the performance of the team's guard Monte Morris was also great.
In this game, Monte Morris was full of firepower, starting 27 minutes, shooting 7 of 11 from the middle and middle lines and hitting 5 three-pointers, contributing 24 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
And in the third quarter, he shot 5 shots and 5 bullets without false shots, and almost single-handedly helped the Nuggets open the score gap, for the team to win the G4, made a great contribution!
More importantly, for the Nuggets, after successfully pulling the big score back to a city, this Nuggets team, which has been forced into a desperate situation, is also temporarily relieved!
On the other hand, on the Warriors side, the team reversed the defeat in this game, and finally lost by 5 points and did not have the opportunity to sweep the game performance, which obviously needs to be examined.
After all, in the case of Tang Shen + Curry playing well and cutting 30+ at the same time, Jordan Pooler's sluggish performance of 3 of 10 shots and 5 shots of 1 in three-point shooting is indeed a bit stretched!
For the loss of the G4 game, the core of the team, Klay Thompson, is also unwilling, and in an interview, he made a book, declaring war on G5: "I don't want to go back to Denver, the fifth game we have to win, we have to come up with such a mentality!" ”
As for the warriors who returned to the home in the next G5 game, whether they can seize the opportunity to eliminate the Nuggets and advance to the second round, we seem to have to wait and see!
