This game was actually our golden opportunity against Golden State to take a break with a reduced Curry role, but unfortunately, Poole played his best 2022 game when the Warriors most needed him. The last three and half minutes of the 1st half decided the winner with GSW 18-4 run (from 40-43 to 58-47 halftime lead) which was the moment when our defense turned from good to bad and never worked again.

I doubt Curry will be 100% ready already for the next game, so it is a "must-win" game for the Nuggets to take a break and make a series vs complete GSW team competitive. If you ask me, injury-free Warriors are the best team in the West right now, or 2nd best after the Suns.

Easy to see how GSW is gonna play this series, AG needs to play better, as do our shooters. Only 31% from 3 will not win ANY GAME. Let's see what adjustments Malone can make to make this more competitive
