After a pair of lopsided victories in the first two games of the series, the Golden State Warriors traveled on the road to meet the Denver Nuggets in game three.
Unlike the opening two games of the series, game three flipped into a heavyweight battle. Whenever the Warriors looked like they were about to spring open the game with a big lead, the Nuggets would answer with a run of their own.
After the Warriors secured a 10-point advantage at halftime, Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon and stingy defense brought the Nuggets back to take the lead before the start of the fourth quarter. After a quiet two games, Jokic bounced back with 37 points, 18 rebounds and five assists in game three.
