Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole all scored over 20 points in the game, but what Thompson was the happiest about was the way the Warriors closed the game.
“It felt amazing,” Warriors star Klay Thompson told ClutchPoints. “Me, Jordan, Steph down the stretch huge shots, Andrew [Wiggins] huge shot, Draymond [Green] huge stop, just a collective team effort tonight, our bench did an incredible job as well. Just overall a great effort and a win that feels really good.”
The trio of Thompson, Curry, and Poole finished the game with 80 points between them. Offensively they have been unstoppable. Draymond Green has been able to do all the things he does best, and it looks like no matter what the Nuggets try, they can't beat this Warriors team.
