The Nuggets were desperate to win today and not get swept out of the playoffs for consecutive seasons, and they managed to do just that. Nikola Jokic was as great as ever with 37 points on 14 of 21 from the field and 3 of 5 from beyond the arc. However, he also got reinforcements this time. Aaron Gordon and Monte Morris both had over 20 points. Bones Hyland had 15 points and 7 assists. Demarcus Cousins played well in the minutes he played, and arguably above all Austin Rivers played tremendous defense racking up 5 steals and making the Warriors job a lot harder.
