The NBA playoffs continued, with a focus battle in the West, the Warriors playing at home against the Nuggets, and they narrowly won 102-98 to advance to the second round by a large margin. The Warriors' opponents in the second round have not yet been released, and the Grizzlies are currently leading the Timberwolves 3-2, which may be more likely.
After winning the game point 3-1 on the road, I believe the Warriors made up their minds to end this series at home, and congratulations, they did it. 4-1 may be the real gap between the two teams, and that "1" is a consolation for MVP superstar Jokic.
This battle was fought a bit fiercely. The Nuggets have led by up to 10 points, and the Warriors have led by up to 7 points, which is not much to be honest, which shows how glued the scene is. The turning point may be in the third or fourth quarter, the Nuggets were hit, and their superstar Jokic kept injuring, returning, injuring, and returning, affecting the rhythm of the whole team.
The first time I was injured, everyone was worried about Jokic. After the result returned, he immediately lost a foul and retired from a second injury, and it was fulfilled. But Jokic didn't give up and pedaled for a while and the bike came back. In the face of injuries + 5 criminals on his back, to survive in the left and right two splints, he can still play a vital role, and he has dragged the suspense to the last round, which is respectable.
In the face of such an opponent, how can you not be in awe. So, after the game, the Warriors' three superstars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green also took turns to send comfort and respect to Jokic.
Curry returned to the starting lineup, scoring 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and was the number one contributor to the victory. In addition, Payton Jr. had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, repeatedly playing a role in key moments. Klay contributed 15 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals across the board, and Jordan Poole was a bit out of whack, scoring just eight points and four assists. The series is over, and the Warriors can look ahead.
