The game between the two teams was extremely tight.
The Nuggets were initiating their offense through pick-and-rolls centered around Zeng Xingyang and Jokic, and occasionally, the Warriors would make some mistakes in their defense.
It's not that the Warriors' defense was poor, but rather that Zeng Xingyang and Jokic's pick-and-roll variations were too numerous.
The two would make offensive choices based on the defensive tendencies of their opponents, systematically dismantling the Warriors' defensive structure.
However, the Nuggets couldn't stop the Warriors' offense either. After realizing Barnes couldn't power through, they started focusing their gameplay around the Splash Brothers.
Curry and Thompson were frighteningly efficient, especially Curry, who not only played off the ball but also frequently drove in to score.
