DENVER -- The Golden State Warriors set an NBA record with 51 first-quarter points during Tuesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets.
On top of the league and franchise record for points in the first quarter, the Warriors also poured in 10 three-pointers -- another franchise record, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
For a team that is used to putting up points in a hurry, the Warriors' first-quarter performance was even more impressive because they did it against a Nuggets team that came into the game with a Western Conference-leading 29-13 record.
