The Warriors had previously lost, thus wasting a match point, and they would play at home against the Nuggets on April 28. Curry, Thompson and Poole have to go all out, and they are trying to lead the team to end this series. The Nuggets finally won the last game, and Jokic still needs to lead the team to victory with all his strength, while teammates give more support, so that he can hope to overturn the opponent on the road.
The Warriors were in a big position, leading the Nuggets 3-0, but they failed to hold on in game four, losing 121-126 and losing the opportunity to sweep their opponents. The Warriors still have a 3-1 lead, and with the next game at home, they have their best chance to advance.
The Splash Brothers had a good performance in the last game, with Curry scoring 33 points and eight assists, and Thompson scoring 32 points, regrettably not being able to lead the team to win. Head coach Kerr may change sides, and Curry has a good chance of starting. The reality is that Curry is still the Warriors' strongest point of attack. Thompson's three-point shots in the last game were excellent, shooting seven in the game, and all he had to do was keep the feel at home so he could help the team win.
The Warriors certainly can't rely on the Splash Brothers alone if they want to win, they need more players to come forward. Poole is in very good shape in the playoffs and is the key to achieving a 3-0 lead before. Back at home, Poole will definitely adjust to his best form, he is the best helper for the Splash Brothers. Wiggins also scored 20 points in his last game, and all he has to do is keep up the form.
Green now plays more on the defensive end, especially against Jokic. If Green can limit Jokic's play, it won't be difficult for the Warriors to win. Green should pay attention to controlling fouls, once out of control will affect the overall attack and defense of the team. The Warriors' Looney, Belitsa, Cumminga, Porter, Iguodala and others also have to stand up so that the team can win easily.
The Nuggets' last game was a life-and-death battle, and they held on to avoid being swept out. Against the Warriors, the Nuggets had no way back, only to play 120% of the energy against. Jokic had 37 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the last game, and his excellent offense and defense gave the Warriors a headache. On the road, what Jokic has to do is to continue his dominance, so that he can open the gap.
The Nuggets also need more players to come forward so they have any hope of winning. Morris and Gordon both scored 20+ in one game, and Barton hit a crucial three-pointer that they had to do on the road and also take the pressure off Jokic. The Nuggets also have Rivers, Hyland, Cousins, Green and others available, and they also have to show some performance to help the team.
Both sides are expected to start:
Nuggets: Morris, Barton, Green, Gordon, Jokic.
Warriors: Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green, Looney.
