Warriors rally past Nuggets to take 3-0 series lead

The Golden State Warriors earned their third straight win over the Denver Nuggets and came a step away from winning the series.

The Warriors endured the monster performance of Nikola Jokic (37 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals) and escaped from Denver with a big victory (118-113).

Jordan Poole (27 points, 9/13 shooting), Stephen Curry (27 points, 9/17 shooting) and Klay Thompson (26 points, 10/18 shooting, 6/13 from beyond the arc) combined for 80 points for the winners.

Golden State now leads the series 3-0 and needs one more win to advance to the Western Conference semi-finals.

Game 4 is on Sunday in Denver and the Nuggets will seek to avoid the sweep and an early playoff exit.
