Warriors advance; Nets force Game 7 in NBA playoffs Stephen Curry scored 22 points to go with eight assists, Andrew Bogut broke out with the best performance of his injury-saddled season and the Golden State Warriors eliminated the Denver Nuggets with a 92-88 victory in Game 6 on Thursday at Oakland. Bogut had season bests and career playoff highs of 14 points and 21 rebounds, and rookie Draymond Green added a career-high 16 points and 10 rebounds to power Golden State into the second round for the first time in six years. The Warriors went ahead by 18 points early in the fourth before holding off one final Nuggets flurry to earn a Western Conference semifinal matchup against San Antonio. Andre Iguodala scored 24 points and Ty Lawson had 17 in another disappointing early exit for Denver, which has lost in the first round nine of the last 10 seasons. Brooklyn 95, at Chicago 92: Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson each scored 17 points, and the Nets again avoided elimination to tie their first-round series at 3-3. The series goes back to Brooklyn for Game 7 on Saturday. The winner gets Miami in the second round. The Bulls hung in until the end even though they were missing Luol Deng (flu symptoms) and Kirk Hinrich (calf). A layup by Nazr Mohammed cut the Nets' lead to 93-92 with 25.2 seconds remaining. Nate Robinson then fouled Andray Blatche, who had missed a free throw moments earlier. This time, he hit both to make it a three-point game with 19.2 seconds left. The Bulls had a chance to tie it, but Marco Belinelli missed a three-pointer and Joakim Noah stepped out of bounds with about six seconds left. Chicago still had a chance, though. Noah tied up Williams after the inbounds, resulting in a jump ball with 3.6 seconds left. Johnson controlled the ball, and the Nets hung on for their second straight win. Belinelli started at shooting guard for the Bulls and scored 22 points. Only eight NBA teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven series, but the Nets are in position to do just that.
