NBA games are always full of excitement and uncertainty, and the Warriors' performance has really been remarkable lately! In the 12 games from the end of January to now, they lead the February battle with an astonishing 10-2 record, and the unstoppable momentum is shocking.
Ahead of today's game, the Warriors had another piece of good news: the Lakers' earlier loss to the Suns made the Warriors move up one spot in the standings to ninth in the West.
With this strong momentum, the Warriors faced a key matchup with the Nuggets at home. The Warriors have lost the first three meetings of the season, and this game is undoubtedly a serious test of their mettle and a real litmus test for the defending champions.
The game began, and the Warriors showed their determination to win. Although Curry couldn't play easily with his tight defense, Wiggins and Kuminga's breakaways and scoring gave the team the lead.
Klay Thompson, who came off the bench, played a key role, and he quickly opened up the score gap with his accurate three-point shot and excellent performance. In particular, Klay's heroic play at the end of the first quarter allowed the Warriors to gain a certain advantage.
However, the Nuggets are not fuel-efficient lamps. Despite falling behind in the first half, they showed a tenacious counter-attacking spirit. The play of Murray and Jokic allowed the Nuggets to gradually find their rhythm in the game, tying the score at the end of the first half.
In the second half, the Nuggets played even more dominant. They made precise adjustments to the Warriors' style of play, especially the restrictions on Curry, which put the Warriors in a difficult position on the offensive end.
In the end, the Nuggets completed a 4-0 sweep of the Warriors with Jokic's excellent performance. The Warriors' momentum in February came to an abrupt end on this night, but that's also the charm of basketball, every game is full of uncertainty and challenges, and we look forward to the next great performance!
