I have to say that it was a pity that the Warriors lost, they overtook in the third quarter, failed to withstand in the final quarter, and the absence of Dream Green was not a reason for losing, don't forget that Murray didn't play either. After this battle, the Warriors' record came to 6-3, losing 2nd place in the West and slipping to 4th in the West.
In terms of statistics, Curry got 23 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers, including 6 of 13 three-pointers, according to statistics, Curry has made at least 4 three-pointers in 9 consecutive games at the beginning of the season, becoming the first person in history, Curry's hand is actually not good, but every time he scores, it is very timely, especially in the third quarter, Jokic has been scoring, and it is Curry who has stood up and responded many times.
Klay had 15 points and six rebounds, played well in the first three quarters, and in the opening of the third quarter, Klay scored five points in a row. In the most important fourth quarter, the Splash Brothers were all dumbfounded.
Looney had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, although he was beaten by Mr. Joo, but Looney's defensive attitude was no problem, he worked very hard, and his hard work was commendable. Wiggins was too humiliated, finishing with 11 points and five rebounds on 4-of-13 shooting, and had turnovers in key moments.
Brother Zui's performance this season has been very bad, and he is undoubtedly the Warriors' losing sinner, you must know that scoring 17 points in the past was his passing line, but I didn't expect that now 10 points have become a luxury, and the Warriors need Wiggins to score, rather than just defense.
Let's hope Wiggins can recover soon, otherwise it's dangerous to play like this. Saric had 4 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Moody had 10 points and 3 rebounds, rookie Davis had 8 points and 2 rebounds, which was remarkable and worth developing, Podzemski had 5 points and 3 rebounds, and Kuminga had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Nuggets data, Jokic 35 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, it is ridiculously strong, the picture of Paul and Curry training Jokic did not appear, Porter 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Gordon 14 points, 11 rebounds and 3 steals, Reggie 20 points and 6 assists, Pope 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Looking at the whole game, in fact, the Nuggets' shortcomings are very obvious, that is, the bench scoring ability is terrible, all rely on the starters, and most of the games are 7-8 people in rotation, so if you want to beat the Nuggets, you have to start without losing points, and the bench is suppressed, but the key is that the Nuggets starters are too strong, which can be called the only gear in the league. After beating the Warriors, the Nuggets have won four in a row and currently have a record of 8-1.
