DENVER – “They’re a year older which is key… I think they’re better,” Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said about the Denver Nuggets before his team slammed the Mile High City Ballers 127 to 108.
The last time these teams met in the regular season—February of 2017—the Nuggets handed the Warriors one of just their 15 losses en route to a championship. Juancho Hernangomez led all scorers with 27 and held Kevin Durant to a plus-minus of negative 23.
Those Nuggets, generally the same now, but a year older, on the same court, were out-classed by the class of the NBA.
