It’s time to put the brooms away. There will be no sweep in the Golden State Warriors’ first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets.
Following an early explosion from the Nuggets, the Warriors stormed back into the contest behind Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Despite foul trouble, Thompson tallied 32 points with seven triples in 31 minutes. Curry added 33 points on 10-of-23 shooting from the field with eight assists, including several clutch buckets down the stretch.
However, the Warriors couldn’t overcome key mistakes during game four. The combination of a quiet performance from Jordan Poole, an uncharacteristic four missed free throws from Curry and Draymond Green fouling out with two minutes remaining hurt the Warriors’ chances.
