After thunder beat the Rockets, they can have a rest. Their opponents, the Nuggets and warriors, are now 1-3. The warriors are about to be promoted to the western competition. It depends on whether the nuggets can carry it!

The Nuggets are also strange. They played very well in the first two away games. To be able to fight for the next victory is enough to explain everything. But when they came back home, they changed. It's like suddenly you can't play. As a result, Durant picked two games in a row.

At the same time as the warriors, they were about to get out of the game.

Curry didn't play because of ankle discomfort. His ankle sprained in the second game against the Nuggets. He was absent from the first game in Denver. In the second scene, there was another twist. However, he didn't suffer too much injury, but Cole was careful to give him a rest. In fact, with Durant's current state, warriors can let curry rest for a period of time.

The Nuggets are still in the same starting lineup: Murray, Harris, Craig, Millsap and yokic. It has to be said that this is also a set of offensive and defensive lineup. The warriors changed a bit, they put Rooney who had performed well in the first few games in the starting line-up, and then let cook replace curry.

The warriors had a bad start. All the first six shots were shot. The Nuggets made an 8-0 start. Murray and Harris scored a three-point goal one by one, and the other was scored by Jokic.

Until the first quarter to 9 minutes 17 seconds, Durant caused Millsap defensive fouls, two penalties in total, the warriors are considered to break the scoring shortage. Then Durant was out of control. Continuous scoring, leading the warriors to complete a wave of 10:2 offensive, tenacious to chase the score to 10:10. However, the balance was broken by the Nuggets in a very short time! Warriors are more in a single fight, lack of cooperation between each other, after the first quarter, they are 25-31 behind the Nuggets.

To the second quarter, the Nuggets a group of substitutes on the first to play the advantage. Barton hit two three points in a row and led the Nuggets to open 8-0 with Harris, extending the lead to 14 points. Since then, the Nuggets have maintained a 10 point lead. Durant returned to the game, but played a counter attack. But the rest of the warrior did not give him enough help. Durant's two fists are hard to beat and can't do anything about it.

In the second half, the warriors wanted to speed up the attack, but they didn't get much effect. With 7:15 left in the third quarter, Jokic helped Millsap to lay up, and the Nuggets took a 20 + point lead 76-55.

At this point Cole immediately called a pause and made adjustments. However, after the break back, the Nuggets further opened the score. With 28.8 seconds left in this section, yokic scored two goals, and the Nuggets completed a 14:5 offensive climax, which had already pulled the score to 91:60. Although Thompson hit a super long three-point goal at the last moment, the difference of 28 points has been the biggest difference between the two sides in the whole series.

In the last quarter, Durant, cook and Rooney shot from inside and outside, making a 10-0 high tide. Malone immediately called a pause, interrupted the warriors' rhythm, and replaced key players such as yokic. Later, Durant, Thompson and others all appeared.

This section is not dull because of the huge difference between the two sides. On the contrary, the warriors launched the most fierce counterattack. Of course, the Nuggets won't wait to die. The two sides were tit for tat, and the Nuggets were still 20 points ahead with three minutes left. Cole directly replaced his main player and surrendered. Malone also took advantage of the situation, so that the game completely entered the garbage time.

In this game, the warriors were not unjustly defeated. Although Durant handed over 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Thompson, the second highest scorer of warriors, also scored 18 points! Durant didn't win the game with warriors, as he did in the previous two games. The biggest reason is that no one else has come forward to help. What's more, without curry, Durant's defense has become more tight. Every time you score, you will give more energy. Coupled with Thompson's downturn, Durant's situation is even more difficult. On the offensive side, Durant can't count on anyone but curry and Thompson. It's not easy for him to play like this.

On the contrary, Nuggets are in full bloom. Six of them scored in double and three scored more than 20. Jojic made 10 of 18 shots, 6 out of 5 from the free throw line, scored the highest 25 points in the game, and also took the highest 19 rebounds in the field, including 6 front rebounds and 13 back rebounds. Millsap had 24 points and 7 rebounds and Murray had 21 points and 6 assists. In addition to the three, Harris scored 18, Barton 15

Although the Nuggets won the game, the situation is still not optimistic for them. It's too hard to reverse three games in a row with a big 1-3 score! But for the Nuggets, it's been a great success. As a team with no playoff experience, it's fantastic to be able to get there. It can be imagined that the players who have been honed by the playoffs, such as Jokic and Murray, will play better next season. The Nuggets will be stronger next season.Two days later, Moda center. The warriors, the main force, ended the Nuggets' playoff tour this season. With the help of Durant, once again became the "God of death" on the field. Durant scored 32 points in 35 minutes. Although scoring less than the previous three games, Durant came out every time the Nuggets were about to rise.

The Nuggets are not bad. At least they are much better than the two previous performances at Moda center. But in many critical moments, the Nuggets are not as good as experienced warriors. There's no way to do that. The experience of the game is not just there. The experience of warriors is also accumulated from season to season. However, the future of nuggets is worth looking forward to. Under Jokic's leadership, they have begun the road to rejuvenation.

At this point, the results of the western semifinals are all out. Thunder and warriors beat the rockets and nuggets 4-2 to make it to the Western Conference Finals again. This is not beyond everyone's expectation. After all, in terms of team strength and competition experience, thunder and warriors are the leaders in the West. Three days later, the first match between the two sides will begin at the Chesapeake energy arena.
