Bones Hyland on facing Steph Curry and this play: “It’s just another basketball player and that was a foul. Definitely a foul on the baseline, but it is Steph, so I guess it wasn’t a foul. I go at anybody, it doesn’t matter who it is. I just feel as though I can go at anybody.” pic.twitter.com/ToGdmGZVfA – 2:31 AM Golden State Warriors @warriors
back & forth ’til the end – 2:24 AM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Under the radar storyline this season: Denver is just 20-12 at Ball Arena with nine home games remaining. Nuggets only lost 11 home games all of last year and haven’t lost more than 11 home games in a season since 2016-17, Nikola Jokic’s sophomore year. – 2:20 AM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind

Thinking about the standings, this was a good loss for Denver. They should try and stay in 6th. – 2:05 AM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Bones Hyland on trying to score on Steph Curry: “I go at anybody.”
Also said Curry fouled him on that baseline look, but understood it’s Steph Curry. – 1:30 AM Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA

Monte Morris, on the #Nuggets goals over the final 15 games: “We definitely want homecourt.” – 1:20 AM Michael Singer @msinger
Asked Monte Morris what he attributed the 18-point fourth quarter to. Yes, he mentioned fatigue. – 1:17 AM Michael Singer @msinger
“I’m not one to make excuses,” said Nuggets coach Michael Malone, who wasn’t interested in citing fatigue late Thursday night following Denver’s loss to the Warriors.

Steve Kerr on Jordan Poole’s night: “I thought this was one of the best games Jordan has played, and he’s strung together four or five good ones in a row now. He’s really coming into his own.” – 1:09 AM Denver Nuggets @nuggets

Michael Malone highlighted a miscommunication between Monte Morris/Austin Rivers in his postgame comments just now. Warriors ran a p&r that Denver should have switched. Malone said one guy called for the switch, the other didn’t hear it. The result: Jordan Poole’s backbreaking 3. – 1:01 AM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Michael Malone said that he had to take more responsibility as a head coach to help get the technical fouls under control for the team. DeMarcus Cousins picked up another tonight. So did JaMychal Green. – 1:00 AM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Final rotations for the Nuggets as they lose to the Warriors 113-102.
-Joker with 23-12-9 but 5 tovs and shot 0/8 from 3. A classic gassed game
-AG was 2/11 and was in a bad rhythm from the start
-Curry goes off for 34, much of it against “not Austin Rivers.”
-Tough Malone game pic.twitter.com/OXP89KXI3d – 12:44 AM StatMuse @statmuse

Warriors beat the Nuggets 113-102 in Denver. Got big stops down the stretch and knocked down shots when it mattered most.
And hey, when Curry goes nuclear like that, not much opposing teams can do. – 12:44 AM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Wild bench production for the Warriors tonight… outscored Denver’s second unit 39-37, but only two Dubs off the bench scored.

Beyond the individual performances of Steph Curry (34 points) & Jordan Poole (21), Golden State’s cash-in rate on turnovers was so high (26 pts on 13 miscues), and the 3-point disparity, 14-7, was a big deal as well. It all was too much for the Nuggets to overcome. – 12:43 AM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Warriors only had one turnover each in first, third, fourth quarters tonight in Denver – 12:42 AM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
Good to see the Warriors figure some stuff out before Draymond comes back. He’ll obviously help, but they can’t depend on one man for their intensity, focus, and cohesion. – 12:42 AM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Nuggets lost their composure down the stretch tonight. Two-straight turnovers with less than a minute to go, then a defensive miscue leaves Jordan Poole wide open for a backbreaking 3. Fatigue definitely had a lot lot do with it. You kind of expected it to come eventually. – 12:41 AM Mike Richman @mikegrich
The Nuggets fourth game in five days really caught up with them in a hurry in these final 6 minutes. – 12:40 AM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

Just not enough gas down the stretch. No shame in it – the Nuggets fought the whole way. Sleep til Saturday, guys. – 12:37 AM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Denver and Jokic are scary for anyone in the first round. But a little less scary when he looks completely exhausted and the Nuggets only offense is attempting to force feed him anyway. – 12:36 AM Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo

Hard to blame Joker for anything, but he’s been cooked since halftime. Denver kept going back to the well, and there just wasn’t a single drop left. – 12:36 AM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews

Jokic’s last three games marks arguably the best three-game stretch of his career. It’s come amid the most grueling part of the schedule so far (four in five). And now they’re asking him to do it one more time. (One dime away from another triple-double, too). – 12:27 AM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Jokic with the hook and we’re all tied at 98 with 5:24 remaining. – 12:25 AM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

That’s it for James Wiseman in Stockton tonight: 18 points, 6 rebounds in 21 minutes. Fluid in a variety of scoring scenarios, agile on the break, fatigued toward end of each shift. Showed rust/flaws, flashed his high-end promise. – 11:56 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Jordan Poole has 6 assists tonight. His career-high is 8. 3:37 left in the third quarter. – 11:56 PM Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
The turnovers in the paint leading to transition attempts the other way are killing Denver right now. Malone is gonna spend the timeout talking about ball security. Lock. It. Down. – 11:53 PM Michael Singer @msinger

And they remedied that paint impact in the 2nd Q, going 8/9 in the paint. The #Nuggets are doing a great job of not settling, of constantly flowing to the rim & playing in the open court. It has manifested in a bunch of FTs as well: 15/17. This is a winning formula if it keeps up – 11:26 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Warriors down 60-51 at the half. Here are three big stat disparities that got them there:
– Nuggets are outscoring the Warriors 34-24 in the paint.
– Nuggets are out rebounding the Warriors 28-19 (8-6 OREB)
– Denver has 15 second-chance points to Golden State’s four. – 11:25 PM Denver Nuggets @nuggets

Denver is up on the Warriors by 9 at half thanks to him and they are trending towards their 4th win in five nights. – 11:21 PM Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
There aren’t three players in the NBA who would make that pass Nikola Jokic just did to end the half.

Warriors battling back. – 11:15 PM Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
I love how Jokic always chooses the right play, and yes the wide open three is the right play… but not when you’ve had to score a million points in a billion minutes this week and your legs are tired. Go to the rack, big fella. Leave the threes. – 11:14 PM Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Poole makes the extra pass to get Klay an open look. That is the chemistry you need if you’re the Dubs. Needs to be reciprocated. – 11:14 PM Michael Singer @msinger
#Nuggets now 3 of 15 from 3-point range so far. Legs aren’t there, for good reason..
This leads to my dumb question of the night: Who’s more tired, the #Nuggets, who got to bed at 4:30 last night, or Jeff Green, whose wife welcomed their third daughter last night? – 11:13 PM TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Really impressive second quarter to open up an 8 point lead by the Nuggets. Now Denver needs to close out these last 3 minutes strong to put themselves in a position to overcome playing their 4th game in 5 nights. – 11:12 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

A notable development in the Western Conference the last month-plus has been a second unit with Bones Hyland, Davon Reed, Bryn Forbes and DeMarcus Cousins becoming a force after bench play used to be a problem for Denver. Hard to believe but it’s happening and they are good. – 11:09 PM Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
The Steve Kerr mic’d up was one of the first times I’ve genuinely found one of those segments insightful.
Looking at Kuminga and flat out saying “that’s not what our team does” says so much about how much they are relying on really young players.

This run from Denver’s second unit just gave Nikola Jokic two extra minutes of rest. Jokic re-enters with 5:33 left in the second. He’s on track to only play around 16 minutes this half. Nuggets up by 9. – 11:07 PM Denver Nuggets @nuggets

So the Nuggets decided to stop taking long jumpers and have re-established themselves in the paint. As a result, they’ve outscored the Warriors 18-5 to start the second quarter. And Golden State has gone ice-cold from the field.

The Warriors miss Draymond’s screening and passing so much it’s painful.

Not gonna lie… Denver would be dominating this game if they stopped settling for long jumpers. Warriors have no answer for them in the paint (20 points and counting).
That’s pretty much been the case for most of Golden State’s opponents lately.
