Preview: Denver Nuggets end 2021 with rematch against Warriors
When their offense stalled in the second half of Tuesday’s matchup against the Golden State Warriors, the Denver Nuggets returned to an early-season formula to pull out the big road win: elite defense.
The Nuggets (17-16) only scored 29 points in the second half but held Golden State (27-7) to a season-low 86 points, which was enough for the Mile High squad to survive in the final seconds. Nikola Joki\u0107 continued his dominance on the boards with 18 rebounds (to go along with 22 points), while Denver forced the Warriors into 18 turnovers.
