Denver basketball players celebrated after two consecutive defeats.
In front of their fans, they defeated Golden State 112:110, and thus they are only one triumph short of a historic success, entering the playoffs for the first time in the history of the franchise from the first position in the West.
Nikola Jokić was not in the Nuggets lineup for the third time in a row.
Klay Thompson had a three-point shot at the buzzer, but missed. Denver was dominated by Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray.
Porter scored 29 points with 11 rebounds, while Murray had 26 points with eight assists. Bruce Brown added 14 points, and Aaron Gordon had 13 points with ten rebounds and seven assists. For the Warriors, Klay Thompson scored 25 and Steph Curry scored 21 points.
With a lot of luck, the Hawks beat the Dallas Mavericks 132–130 after overtime and pushed them into uncertainty, not even in the playoff zone, after their seventh loss in the last eight matches.
The guests from Dallas had a great opportunity to avoid defeat and achieve an important triumph, but Luka Dončić missed the shot to win with the sound of the siren.
