Oh, how the tables can turn. After the Denver Nuggets’ starting lineup thrived in recent games, it was the team’s bench unit that kept them in the game through three quarters against the Golden State Warriors (45-20). Ultimately, Denver (43-22) fell 122-105 to the reigning defending champions, as they weren’t able to overcome a poor shooting night.
Denver struggled out of the gates, as it shot 2 of 8 from the field and committed five turnovers in the first six minutes of the game. Golden State took advantage of the extra possessions and jumped out to a 15-3 lead.
