Trick

We almost tricked them to playing our game.

Steals, 14 to 10, Nuggets; assists, 33 to 33, rebounds, 48-43 Nuggets. Our bigs can dominate. We always win the boards.

If our threes had fallen, 26% to 44%, and we had shot just a little better, 53% Warriors, 48% Nuggets, we might have had the upset of the year.

48% is nothing to cry about against a top defensive team.

Every quarter was close.

The announcers for Golden State loved the Nuggets. They said they thought they might be seeing Denver in the post season!

They just couldn’t believe both of our bigs, Jo-kic and Nur-kic.

Our bigs are the ‘kicks, like in kick butt!
