The Warriors completed an almost perfect series for them with 1: 4, ousting Denver by Nikola Jukic, who may soon win the title of best player last season, and will now face the winner of the semifinals between Minnesota and Memphis.
It was the evening of Steph Kerry, the star of Golden State, and who is considered one of the greatest scenes in the history of the industry, started in his team's quintet for the first time in the playoffs, after remembering not fully qualified for the series and so far came off the bench.
He scored 30 points with 5/11 off the arc, adding a big basket in the final minute of the game to secure his side the win.

"Steph is one of a kind, doing spectacular things with zero effort" Clay Thompson pardoned his teammate at the press conference at the end of the game.
Kerry's performance tonight continues to cultivate a personal record he holds, it was Kerry's 49th playoff game with at least 5 threes.
To explain how rare this is, the two players taking second and third place on this list are Clay Thompson and Ray Allen, who together have 49 games with 5 threes in the playoffs.

The Warriors players gave Nikola Jukic a lot of respect at the end of the game, and Raymond Green who was seen talking to the Nuggets star on the floor told after the game what he told him: "I just said thank you, thank you for making me better, it's crazy to play against a talented player like him, talent Simply amazing."

Jukic gave an amazing game with 30 points, 19 rebounds and eight assists, but even tonight it was not enough for his team, which without the injured Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Marie, could not have faced the Warriors in this series.
