In a playoff-clinching win over the Nuggets, Steph Curry delivered. During a tense fourth quarter, the man sunk a final layup that proved to be the dagger, the touchstone of a 30-point night. Warriors win 102-98. Game, set, match.
Warriors point guard Stephen Curry scores on a three-point basket against the Nuggets in a Game 5 win that clinched the first-round playoff series. .The Warriors coach had brought his two-time MVP off the bench for the first four games of the first-round Western Conference playoffs against Denver, favoring Curry’s recently injured foot. And it worked three times. But after a Game 4 loss in the Mile High City, Kerr decided to bring in his biggest gun.
Turns out, starting the Death Poole lineup, featuring Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole alongside Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, was the right call. Easy game, coach. Play your best hand. To be honest, both Klay and Jordan were off Wednesday, but Steph was there to make the difference. Three bullets? One’s gonna hit.
Wednesday night’s contest was an absolute grind. Thompson was one of six from three. But the Warriors jumped out to a 30-25 lead early on, with Curry hitting two of five three-pointers, Poole chipping in one of his own and Thompson hitting four of four from the field, all from inside the arc. Aaron Gordon was the standout for the Nuggets early on. The son of San Jose started out hitting four straight from the field to keep Denver close.
