How To Watch Warriors at Nuggets Game 4 On Sunday
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Denver Nuggets 118-113 in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series and now, Denver finds themselves in trouble down 0-3 in this series.
All series long, the Nuggets have not been able to stop the Warriors’ offense and in particular, they have had no answers for the Warriors’ three-headed monster in Curry, Thompson and Poole.
Third-year guard Jordan Poole has been fantastic for Golden State, scoring at least 27 points in his first three playoff games and Golden State has been finding success with Stephen Curry coming off-the-bench!
At full-strength, there may not be a better team in this league than the Golden State Warriors and they are proving this in their series against Denver.
As for the Nuggets, they are now down 0-3 after losing Game 3 at home and now, they will have to achieve the unthinkable if they are to keep their season alive.
No team in NBA history has ever come back in a series when they are down three games and as good as reigning league-MVP Nikola Jokic is, he alone has not and will not be able to carry the Nuggets past the Warriors in this series.
