The Nuggets opened their first round series against the Warriors with a loss. Denver’s head coach Michael Malone was right to predict that Golden State will be led by its trio of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole, which he said ‘is on steroids.’
Indeed these three players were the top scorers for the Dubs with Poole having 30, Thompson 19 and Curry 16 points leading their team to a 16-point win.
“I go back to last year first round against Portland. Dame, CJ, Norman Powell. No disrespect to those guys, but this (Warriors trio) is on steroids,” Malone said before the game, per Anthony Slater. “I think we’re going to see those three on the floor with Wiggins and Draymond a ton.”
