The Denver Nuggets are making something of a habit out of besting the shorthanded Golden State Warriors. Which is something of a trip since the Nuggets themselves are shorthanded without star guard Jamal Murray, who has been out of action since injuring his knee last season against these very same Warriors.
Denver has defeated Golden State three straight times this season, most recently Monday when the two squads played a rescheduled game. Neither coach seemed particularly enamored with having to make it up at that juncture, but that didn’t keep Coach Steve Kerr from making it interesting by sitting his Splash Bros and All-Star Andrew Wiggins.
