Following the heartbreaking loss of Game 1 and their best big man, David Lee. The Warriors look like wounded animals that were ready to be made sacrificial lambs for the Denver Nuggets. It was a night where Denver who had only lost 3 games all of last year would capitalize by sending this plucky team back to the Bay Area down 2-0.
Well, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors had other ideas as they played with no fear and of course nothing to lose. They outplayed the Nuggets and even shot the lights out. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson put on a shooting clinic making nearly every shot they attempted. Boy, were they a joy to watch them stroke the ball.
In a game where every member of the Warriors had to play their best, Harrison Barnes unleashed hell upon a dazed and confused Nuggets team. He stroked three pointers when he got the chance as the Nuggets left him alone. They thought Barnes would not let them pay as he was invisible in Game 1.
Denver picked the wrong night to gamble on that, as Harrison Barnes put up a game to remember as he was unstoppable in the 4th Quarter. He helped keep the Nuggets at bay with his shooting, defense and high flying athleticism that made a scouts think he would be the Next Kobe Bryant just a few short years ago.
The bench for Golden State also played a big role knocking down big shots and preventing easy transition buckets for Nuggets team that absolutely thrives on them like a kid on a huge sugar rush. In other words, they made Denver look ordinary without the transition buckets and fast break.
Now, the series goes to back to Oracle Arena and a rabid fan base that has been hungry for a team good enough to match their energy in the Playoffs. It's now a series where both teams will fight for every rebound, point and advantage. It's now officially a series.
