The Golden State Warriors nearly overcame a 24-point halftime deficit, but the visiting Denver Nuggets held on to earn an 89-86 upset victory on Tuesday in San Francisco's Chase Center.
Denver led 31-16 after one quarter and 60-36 at halftime before its offense completely shut down in the final two quarters.
The Warriors steadily chipped away and tied the game at 84 following a Gary Payton II dunk with 1:04 left.
Will Barton then put Denver up for good with a putback layup.
A Stephen Curry three-pointer in response did not connect, and Barton responded with two free throws for an 88-84 Denver edge.
