The playoffs continued, the Nuggets played at home against the Warriors, and the Warriors took a 3-0 lead before the game, which was a win or home game for the Nuggets, in order to avoid sweeping and defending home honor, the Nuggets could only give it a go. The first quarter relied on Jokic's 2 three-pointers at the end of the quarter, and the Nuggets took a five-point lead; in the second quarter, the Warriors still found the rhythm of the offense, and the Nuggets' youngster Hyland suddenly broke out, hitting three three-pointers in a row to score 9 points, fortunately, Curry woke up in time to come forward, the score did not expand further, and the Nuggets entered the second half with an 11-point advantage. In the third quarter, Thompson performed well, scoring 12 points in a single quarter, but one person was difficult to fight four punches, the Nuggets' outside line blossomed more, and after three quarters, the Warriors still had 9 points; in the fourth quarter, the Warriors finally rebounded under the leadership of the Splash Brothers, but Jokic did not have a soft hand at the key moment, one attack and one assist to lock in the victory, and in the end, the Nuggets narrowly won by 5 points, avoiding the embarrassment of being swept.
To get a hard-won victory, the Nuggets team looked very excited after the game, and the huge pressure buried in the heart burst out instantly, and the whole team celebrated madly at home. Fans who have watched the game should know that the biggest contributor to this victory is Jokic, who not only got the comprehensive data of 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, but also recognized Kerr's tactics at the last moment, so that the Warriors' tried-and-true "high hanging ball" failed to play and lost a good game, when Jokic was not on the court, he stood up on the bench, while making hand heat, while shouting to let his teammates pay attention to the Warriors' "high hanging ball", and finally successfully defended. In addition to Jokic, I also have to praise rookie Hyland, who scored 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting, becoming the team's winning wizard. Of course, Gordon and Morris also became Jokic's powerful helpers, scoring 21 and 24 points respectively.
The Warriors tried their best and played the characteristics of the team, Curry still played the role of the best sixth man, with 33 points and 8 assists, Thompson also cut 32 points and 4 rebounds, Green, who had no offensive desire, also scored 13 points and 11 rebounds, Wiggins also played 20 points, and There was nothing wrong with Kerr's tactics. Personally, I think the only reason is that the Nuggets treated them with their human ways, defeated the Warriors with three-pointers, and the Nuggets' outside shooting rate reached 48% in the whole game, and scored 45 points with three-pointers. After the game, some fans said that the Warriors should be careful, the Nuggets have cracked the Warriors' tactics, however, personally think that although the Nuggets won a difficult game at home, it is almost impossible for them to complete the reversal, because they simply can't maintain a shooting rate of more than 48% per three-point shooting game, O'Neal said that the next time they return to the Chase Center, the Nuggets will be blasted by the Warriors.
