After another five-year playoff absence, the Dubs entered the 2013 playoffs as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.
They split the first two games of their opening-round series in Denver and outlasted the Nuggets in a tightly-contested Game 3, 110-108.
"I’ll never forget that Game 3 at Oracle, tied up 1-1," Warriors forward Draymond Green recently told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic. "The crowd — loudest I’ve ever heard it here. It was amazing."
Things weren't looking good for the Dubs as they trailed by 12 points at halftime of Game 3. But they outscored the Nuggets 33-18 in the third quarter, behind 10 points and four assists from guard Jarrett Jack, nine points and three assists from point guard Steph Curry and eight points from forward Harrison Barnes.
