Despite being on the second night of a back-to-back and playing without three starters, the Denver Nuggets didn’t waive the white flag at any point Thursday night. A 19-point comeback in the second half led to a 134-131 victory in overtime. From standout performances off the bench to impressive resiliency across the board, it was a gut-check performance from Denver to sweep their back-to-back set.
The Warriors came out firing from beyond the arc to open the game, as their first four made baskets were all 3-pointers. That hot shooting coupled with a cold spell from Denver led to an early 12-5 start for Golden State.
