The Denver Nuggets of the NBA came to play last night against rival Golden State. The team was down 3-1 in this playoff game of 1st round action. The Golden Boys almost swept last time they played, but had to try again to finish them off. It was not easy. The Warriors displayed some verve early on, but could not stretch their lead(s). Soon, Denver was back on top late in the game and it appeared the Warriors would let the contest slip away. But......
The resilient Bay Area men stepped on the gas and marshaled their outside shooters(Curry and Co.,) to give Steve Kerr's team a late edge. Denver would not stoop the pressure, putting impressive 3-pointers on the scoreboard, staying annoyingly close, threatening to take over the lead. Then, the Nuggets were forced to foul, the sign of the desperate player/team. How this strategy became routine is questionable, but it survives. After Steph Curries' last few 3 pointers iced the contest, it was happy time in the Bay Area. Movin' on up.
Next stop: Minnesota or Memphis. Could be a difficult series of games. Watch it.
