Facing the improbable task of clawing back from a 3-0 playoff deficit, the Nuggets survived, 126-121, in Sunday’s gripping Game 4 at Ball Arena, battling with the desperation and urgency they promised in the first-round series.
“You can see, all the starters are in plus-minus minus, and the bench is the plus, so they played really well today,” Jokic said. “A lot of teams would’ve laid down tonight,” Rivers said, who reiterated all the pressure was still on their opponents.In the first elimination game of his career, rookie Bones Hyland scored 15 points, dished seven assists and snatched four rebounds to boost Denver’s second unit. Monte Morris saved 19 of his 24 points for the second half, including a crucial floater late in the fourth to break a 121-121 tie with 33 seconds left.
Though Golden State guard Steph Curry managed 33 points and Klay Thompson dumped in 32, the Nuggets finally kept tabs on Jordan Poole, holding him to 11 points.
