SAN FRANCISCO – Rather than fold, the Nuggets fought.
And Monte Morris’ clutch 3-pointer at the buzzer left the Chase Center crowd stunned. Morris’ game-winning 3-pointer, off a heady pass from Nikola Jokic, gave the Nuggets a gripping 117-116 win over the Warriors.
Once down 16 points in the third quarter, the Nuggets clamped down defensively and followed their MVP. Jokic, his jersey untucked by the end, seized Wednesday’s game by the throat and willed his team to their fifth win in six games. Jokic finished with 35 points, 17 rebounds and eight assists.
