The Denver Nuggets didn't need a "Rudy Speech" nor did they need their Captains to stand up as it was all out in front of them versus the Warriors tonight.
After jumping out to their largest lead midway through Frame 2 the Nugs hold on from a late #DUBnation surge to beat the Warriors 107-100 as six Nugget Players hit double figures. Iggy of Mile High goes man-sized with 25 points, twelve rebounds, and seven assists. Following his lead on the Stat Sheet was Ty Lawson with 19 points and ten assists with the "MANimal" Faried adding 13 points and ten rebounds. 2013 hot free agent to be Wilson "Dr. Chandler" Chandler also went for 19 points as the Nugs needed to get him going as well as the "Brew Crew" Corey Brewer. The Nugs for once in the Series played physical hoop and matched the Warriors from the Arc making ten money balls to GSW's 11 money balls. That was the big difference as the Warriors have been the more physical team.
GSW was led by Rook Harrison Barnes 23 points and nine boards with Jack adding 20 points, Klay-T 19 points, and Young Steph 15 points and eight helpers. The Warriors didn't help their cause in the 1st half being down 14 after one and 20 at he break. They played a way better 2nd half but by then they expended too much energy try to cut the deficit. Now there is more work to do as they must close the Nugs out at Planet Oracle or winning a game seven and their 2nd game of the series on the #1 Home Court in the Logo will virtually be impossible.
Nugs handle biz and now the pressure is definitely on the Warriors in Game 6....
