The Denver Nuggets lost their season opener Thursday night on the road to the Golden State Warriors, 137-131 in overtime. The biggest headline of the game was of course Aaron Gordon's 50-point night. Despite the loss, I think Nuggets fans still have quite a bit to be optimistic about considering the circumstances.
It's certainly was not a strong night from Denver's starting unit as a whole. Yes, Gordon was on fire with 10 makes on 11 attempts from behind the three-point line. Jamal Murray also had a spectacular night, putting up 25 points in Tennessee.
