The weekend couldn’t have gotten off to much of a worse start than it did for the Denver Nuggets, who not only dropped a 118-97 game to the Golden State Warriors, but also potentially lost Will Barton III for an extended period with a right hamstring strain.
Barton III exited in the opening minute of the game, and Denver’s offense never found a rhythm throughout the night, while the defense struggled to contain Stephen Curry and get back in transition.
