The Golden State Warriors took care of business in Game 1 of the Western Conference playoffs’ first round, blowing out the sixth-seeded Denver Nuggets, 123-107, at Chase Center.
Golden State led by as many as 25 points in the fourth quarter, buoyed by the return of Steph Curry (who played 22 minutes off the bench and finished with 16 points and four assists off the bench) and a historic night for the man who started in his place, Jordan Poole — his five 3-pointers in his playoff debut were an all-time Warriors record.
