The Nuggets sweetly avenged themselves against Golden State for the loss in the first game of the season in California. Not only that, but they also result-wise demolished them, so the final score in Colorado was 129:104, noting that the biggest star, Steph Curry, did not play for the Warriors.
In that convincing victory, Nikola Jokić played as much as was necessary. And there was no need for him to enter the last quarter, and for the three played, actually two and a half, he had an impressive performance of 26 points, with a fantastic shooting percentage of 80% (15-12), grabbed 9 balls and distributed 9 passes.
Since, unlike some others, Jokara does not chase statistics, he did not thus surpass the entire league in the number of triple-doubles, so the current score is Jokić – Rest of the NBA 5:5.
Jokić’s rest and Denver’s convincing lead were used by his alternative, the excellent Valanciunas, who scored 16 points and had 6 rebounds. Besides him, Murray stood out with 23 (8as) and Gordon with 18 baskets.
In the losing team, the best was Draymond Green with 17 baskets and even 5 three-pointers out of 10 attempts, and Butler with 16 and Post with 14 also stood out.
The Nuggets are tied for 4th place in the West with a record of 6-2, while the Warriors are seventh with an even record of 5-5.
Denver finishes the series of 4 games on home court tomorrow against Indiana.
