The Golden State Warriors finally made things dramatic. After two straight blowout victories to open up their first round series against the Denver Nuggets, the Dubs found themselves locked in an intense, back-and-forth battle on the road.
And what emerged from the other end was perhaps the most satisfying game of the season: a tough 118-113 win that has the Warriors knocking on the door of a sweep. Even against a compromised Nuggets team, winning on the road, in the playoffs, against a desperate team is an impressive accomplishment, and there’s a lot of optimism around the Dubs right now, as there should be.
