Golden State Warriors vs. Denver Nuggets Live Stream: Watch NBA Playoffs Online Western Conference First Round Game 5 From Pepsi Center

Apr 30, 2013 07:33 PM EDT

The Golden State Warriors have been playing better than nearly every team in the NBA playoffs apart from the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs and with a win in Game 5 on Tuesday night against the Nuggets at the tough-to-play Pepsi Center, the team will move on to the next round.

Stephen Curry has been fantastic for the Warriors during the playoffs and after setting the record for 3-pointers during the season, he has kept his touch and now the team is in position to knock of the Nuggets on the road. Denver finished the season on a fantastic run and had all the momentum after Andre Miller made a last-second layup in Game 1, but since then it has been all Warriors and all Curry. The Warriors have been doing a good job of keeping Miller and others from driving and they will try to keep that up on Tuesday and give Curry space to shoot.

The Nuggets lost at home in Game 2 for just the fourth time this season and Curry will have the confidence to try and pull it off again on Tuesday night. Curry has been averaging over 27 points during the playoffs and despite having an ankle injury he has been scoring in bunches and is shooting over 50 percent from the field during the series. The Warriors have gone just 3-18 without Lee in the lineup during the past three seasons, but over the playoffs, Andrew Bogut has been fantastic and the bench has been playing better than the Nuggets.

Curry has been able to find shots all around the floor, including in the Game 4 115-101 win and on Tuesday night the Nuggets will try to shut down Curry for the first time this series. The Nuggets are making their 10th straight postseason run, while the Warriors are back after a few years and coach Mark Jackson has his team making the most of it. The loss made forward Kenneth Faried to kick a wall after the game and the Warriors have been scoring above their season average when they ranked seventh in the league. The team was ranked third in rebounding and that has been huge with Bogut and with Curry shooting so well the Nuggets are going to have a tough time winning the series, but with games left at the Pepsi Center, anything can happen, as Denver lost just three games there during the season.
