How To Watch Nuggets at Warriors Game 5 On Wednesday
The Denver Nuggets kept their season alive on Sunday, defeating the Golden State Warriors 126-121 in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series.
While their backs are still up against the wall down 3-1 to the Warriors, the Nuggets do have a little bit of momentum heading into Game 5 on the road.
One of the biggest question marks surrounding the Nuggets in the postseason was “who would step up around Nikola Jokic” and Monte Morris, Aaron Gordon and Bones Hyland answered this plea for help.
These three combined for 60 points, as Jokic went for 37 points in the win for Denver.
As for Golden State, they do not seem concerned one bit, as a couple of things just did not go their way in Game 4. Jordan Poole had a quiet game with just 11 points, but Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry continued to play well offensively, combining for 65 points.
The Warriors are confident that they can close out this first-round series on Wednesday night in front of their home faithful, but Denver did win in San Francisco during the regular season.
Can the Nuggets keep their season alive by doing so again, but this time in Game 5 of their playoff series?
