DENVER — The play sparked all of Damian Jones’ teammates to pat him on the back. He had just stuffed Nuggets guard Will Barton at the rim in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ eventual 115-108 loss in Denver on Saturday night.

No matter how short lived, that moment explained why the Warriors recalled Jones this week from their G-League affiliate in Santa Cruz.
