The Warriors seal the series despite being down for most of the game
The Warriors entered the fourth quarter after trailing most of the game. But they rallied to knock out Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. They won game 5 and officially closed out the series 4-1. They will either take on the Memphis Grizzlies or the Minnesota Timberwolves in the next round.
The Warriors opened the fourth quarter with an 18-7 run and this gave them their first lead in the second half. The Nuggets were held scoreless for four minutes but they eventually broke that streak. But by then, it was already too late.
