121-126！ The Warriors lost at home to the Nuggets!
Many fans said that they regretted not sweeping, but I personally think it is very good. Before G4 started, I thought the Warriors might play one, and the league would like the Nuggets to win. Don't look at the Game the Warriors lost, but the gains are really not small. In Fat Ding's view, although the Warriors lost this game, they had at least 3 major gains.
The first is the warriors' opportunity to usher in a lineup adjustment. Curry has no complaints or regrets about playing the bench, but this is certainly not a long-term solution. Curry is finally going to return to the starting lineup. If the Warriors win, it will be difficult for Kerr to get Curry back to the starting lineup, because if he loses, Kerr and Curry will be under pressure from public opinion. The Warriors lost, Curry 33+3+8, Poole 11+2+9! Cole took advantage of the trend to take Curry back to the starting line-up in the next game, Mei Zizi!
The second is that Cole used Cumminga for this game. Remember that In the first three games, Cumminga played a total of 8.4 minutes. Kuminga made an early appearance in the match and played 11.2 minutes. It's actually Kerr preparing for the next round, and this game Cole is concerned with testing the lineup, not winning or losing. Playing the Nuggets, the Warriors are not on Cuminga, and the athletic talent is enough. Whether it's playing the Timberwolves or the Grizzlies in the next round, I'm afraid it will be reused in Cumminga. Kerr used this game to come to the conclusion that Cumminga is in good shape and can start reusing!
The third, of course, is economic gain! The Warriors pay the most expensive luxury taxes in the league, earn the most money in the league, and the home ticket revenue is a big chunk. You know, the Warriors play one more game at home, and the ticket money may be enough to pay Curry. This 3-1 homecoming, not only can be promoted in front of the home fans, but also can earn more, why not enjoy it?
O'Neal said after the Nuggets tied the score to 1-3: "I think the Nuggets will be blown up next time. Now it seems that O'Neill's words will most likely come true. The Nuggets' sweep by the Warriors' gentlemen may be a foregone conclusion.
