MANILA, Philippines — The Golden State Warriors barged into the Western Conference semifinals after narrowly edging the Denver Nuggets, 92-88, in Game 6 of their NBA playoff series at the Oracle Arena in California.

A huge push sparked by Stephen Curry in the third quarter propelled the Warriors to the driver’s seat after a slow start, but the young Golden State cagers almost gave the game away after committing 4 turnovers within the last minute.

The Warriors built a 80-62 advantage early in the fourth period before the Nuggets embarked on a searing run that culminated with an Andre Iguodala triple and a Kenneth Faried free throw that cut the deficit to 90-88 with 32.4 seconds left.

But Golden State held on and, with a pair of freebies from Jarrett Jack, eliminated the third-seeded Nuggets, 4-2.

Center Andrew Bogut had a monster double-double with 14 points and 21 rebounds while Curry added 22 markers spiked by four three-pointers.

On the other hand, Iguodala bucked a cold start to finish with a game-high 24 points, nine rebounds and six assists. – Rappler.com
