Golden State took a 3-1 lead into Denver, but didn't look much like putting the Nuggets out of the Playoffs just yet. Denver got off to a hot start and withstood a late Warriors run that got them back within five points, but turnovers that led to dunks and alley-oops put the Nuggets out of reach. The turnovers and missed assignments were the mistakes of a young team and Denver ate it up. The crowd was into it, Andre Iguodala was ballin' with 25 points ad 12 boards and Kenneth Faried was throwing it down.
This one's heading back to California after the 107-100 win for Denver.
