Initial thoughts from the Nuggets’ 102-98 season-ending loss to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of their Western Conference playoff series. by SeanKeeler
Big-game Boogie accounted for the Nuggets’ last seven points of the third quarter, including a wide-open trey from the top as time expired to give the visitors a 78-70 cushion going into the final stanza. Four minutes into the fourth quarter, Cousins had put up 19 points, a new single-game career postseason high, helping coach Michael Malone rest starter Nikola Jokic, who was dealing with four fouls and a wonky right hamstring late in the second half.
When Golden State elected to start the tilt with its “Death lineup,” coach Steve Kerr was almost daring the Nuggets to beat them inside. Gordon, whose postseason track record as a Nugget has underwhelmed , took that as a challenge. The 6-foot-8 Gordon set the tone for his evening by driving right to the bucket on Denver’s first possession, then posting up the smaller Warriors wings when the opportunity presented itself.
