The Warriors established a script in Game 1 and stuck to it in Game 2, beating the Nuggets 126-106 on Monday night at Chase Center. With the win, the Dubs take a 2-0 series lead with Game 3 set for Thursday night in Denver.
After a slow start had the Dubs down early, the Warriors turned the game around with a big run to end the first half, and they never trailed again. In the first game of the series on Saturday, it was an 18-4 run to close the second quarter that put the Warriors in control. On Monday, it was a 26-8 spurt that turned a 12-point deficit into a six-point advantage by the time the second quarter buzzer sounded.
The Warriors continued the surge with a 44-point third quarter and cruised to their second straight win to start their 2022 playoff run. Stephen Curry came off the bench and led the way with 34 points, Jordan Poole scored 29 and Klay Thompson added 21 points in the win.
