A nice get it done type win and move on to the next round for the Warriors as they beat the injury decimated Denver Nuggets by a score of 102-98 to clinch their first round series in five games.
Steph Curry led the way with thirty points in a game which was played somewhat sloppily by the Warriors in the first half.
It’s hard to tell what these Warriors are just yet given in this Game 5 the Nuggets played without Jaamal Murray, Michael Porter, and Austin Rivers.
If the Warriors play the small ball lineup too much it will be interesting to see if the next opponent takes the ball to the rim with larger, more agile players…. especially with Memphis.
Milwaukee toyed with the Chicago Bulls. Literally toyed with them. Now we get the much-anticipated matchup between the Celtics and the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks.
The final eight teams should all be good and playing with the belief they could win this thing if the chips fall right for them.
But for me right now…the top three teams with Devin Bookers out are 1 Milwaukee, 2 Boston, and 3 Miami.
