On February 26, Beijing time, a key matchup in the NBA regular season once again set off passion. The Warriors have been in excellent form against the Nuggets today, with the former winning three straight and the latter winning two in a row. However, in this matchup, the Warriors face the absence of Paul and Santos, and the impact on them cannot be underestimated.
As soon as the match began, the two sides immediately fell into a tug-of-war of stalemate. The scores on the field alternated leads, and the competition was extremely fierce. However, as the game progressed to the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors gradually took the initiative on the court. In the second quarter, the Nuggets' shooting percentage dropped, causing the margin to be stretched to double digits. However, the Nuggets made timely adjustments before halftime and managed to tie the score at 61-61.
After the start of the second half, the Nuggets continued to dominate the court and gradually built up their lead. However, in the pinch-pounding moment of the game, the Warriors' Curry scored back-to-back points to help the team keep the score together. Although the point difference in the final quarter did not widen, the Nuggets did not give their opponents a chance to overtake. In the end, the Nuggets managed to beat the Warriors, not only ushering in a three-game winning streak, but also ending the opponent's winning streak.
This game not only showcased the Nuggets' excellent form recently, but also gave a glimpse of their consistent performance in key moments. The Warriors, on the other hand, will need to reflect and adjust in the upcoming games in order to stay in top shape ahead of the playoffs.
