On February 26, the war in the NBA West was ignited again! In a high-profile matchup, the Warriors host the Nuggets. Before the game, the Lakers lost to the Suns, which allowed the Warriors to advance to ninth place in the West after winning three games in a row, while the Nuggets held to fourth place in the West with two straight wins.
At the start of the game, the Warriors showed strong momentum, and Klay Thompson's excellent performance gave them a 15-point lead very quickly. However, the Nuggets' stubborn counterattack allowed the score to be tied before halftime. In the second half, the Nuggets played even better, with a 14-0 attack wave allowing them to successfully overtake and establish a 10-point lead.
Although Curry also contributed 14 points in the third quarter, the Warriors' offensive efficiency dropped in the final quarter and they were unable to effectively limit the Nuggets' Jokic. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Nuggets with a score of 103-119, ending the winning streak.
The biggest highlight of the game was undoubtedly Jokic, who performed well throughout the game, scoring a big triple-double of 32 points, 16 rebounds, 16 assists and 4 steals. Klay Thompson, meanwhile, and Curry contributed 23 and 20 points, respectively, but still couldn't change the game.
There were also many wonderful moments in the game, such as Curry's handsome entry and dream-chasing fake shots, etc., which added a lot of highlights to the game.
Although this game was a challenge for the Warriors, the charm of basketball was that every game was full of passion and uncertainty. Looking forward to the Warriors performing better in the next games!
