Golden State Warriors 110, Denver Nuggets 112 (Final)

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
It appears that Jokic and Embiid each handled the Bucks matchup slightly differently. – 1:52 AM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
If the Warriors won all of their final four games, they could have locked up the 6th seed. But, after losing to the Jokic-less Nuggets, the play-in tournament is very much a possibility.

The last four games for the Nuggets:

Denver needs 1 win to clinch the 1 seed. Can do it on Tuesday against the Rockets if they’re focused.
Very curious to see how the team handles Jokić’s calf injury now. They may play him sparingly. – 12:47 AM

Not sure #Pelicans could’ve asked for a better weekend based on their win and a slew of key losses by other West teams. No. 8 New Orleans (40-38) is now only half-game behind No. 5 LAC (41-38) and No. 6 GSW (41-38), with tiebreaker on both teams. No. 7 LAL (40-38) did win Sunday – 11:46 PM

Head Coach Steve Kerr says some mindless possessions for the Warriors – not moving the ball, passing, and turning it over let the Nuggets back into the game. Says the Dubs weren’t sharp and trusting they could move the ball to make a good shot a great one. #dubnation11:17 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
I would like Malone to specifically note that MPJ played some very decent defense in this game and that in no way should he now get pulled for Peyton Watson in a close game. Don’t overthink it.
This is also a “trust MPJ more” game, not just Watson’s coming out party. – 11:16 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
With the loss to Denver, the Warriors fall to the 6 seed because their record is tied with the Clippers and LA has the better divisional record. The Dubs are now just a half game ahead of the Lakers and Pelicans in 7th and 8th. Every. Single. Game. Matters. #dubnation11:14 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Denver is leaning into defense and finishers for its bench players with Braun and Watson, and Kamagate potentially next year in the middle. That shapes up beautifully for the Nuggets with the shooting of Mal, MPJ and Jokic.
Great proof-of-concept showing by the rooks tonight. – 11:12 PM
Madeline Kenney @madkenney
“Mid-second quarter until those last four minutes we were mindless out there and we weren’t tough enough, not disciplined enough and ultimately didn’t deserve to win the game,” Kerr said after Warriors 112-110 loss. mercurynews.com/2023/04/02/war…11:11 PM

Warriors lose in Denver to the Nuggets without Jokic. A win would’ve put them in the driver’s seat for #5 seed. But this loss drops them back into a tie with the Clippers. Danger below. Lakers and Pelicans both loom. All four have 38 losses heading into final week. – 10:55 PM
Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Hell of a final defensive play to seal that for Denver. Shouldn’t have needed it. But then again, Jokic ain’t out there – 10:55 PM
Nick Wright @getnickwright
Annnd just like that, as the Warriors lose to the Jokic-less Nuggets, there’s a defacto 3-way tie for 5th in the West, with the Lakers, Clippers & Warriors all having 38 losses.
Due to the tiebreakers, if they all were to finish with the same record it’d be:
5: LAC
6: LAL
7: GSW – 10:55 PM

Nuggets don’t have anyone like Peyton Watson on their roster. 6-7, 7-foot wingspan who can sky for blocks, run and finish in transition and defend wings. It reminds you of Torrey Craig’s ascension years ago. He played because the Nuggets didn’t have anyone who did what he did. – 10:50 PM

Fitz just said on the broadcast the Warriors can’t win when they shoot poorly from three like this. The Nuggets are only shooting 29% from deep with one more made 3. It’s the 15 turnovers, missed twos and Michael Porter Jr domination that have made the difference. #dubnation10:45 PM

When Denver drafted Peyton Watson I was annoyed. Not because he wouldn’t be good – I thought he probably would be – but that it would happen in another uniform like it did for Vando.

Glad to see MPJ have that kind of half. Shot was falling, he was scrapping inside for rebounds – and getting them – and trying to make plays. Porter isn’t gonna be a stand-in-the-corner specialist if Denver is to get where it wants to go. These are the games that underline that. – 9:40 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Michael Porter Jr. scores 16 points in the 1st half. Started tonight cold, but kept firing, ended up hitting three 3s and had 14 in the 2nd quarter. Pulled in some tough, contested, physical boards too. He led that closing stretch. – 9:38 PM
