The Denver Nuggets clinched a tight 108-105 victory against the Golden State Warriors, marking their toughest contest of the season so far and bringing their NBA season start to a strong 8-1.
Despite the Warriors' aggressive defense, Nuggets' star player Nikola Jokic shone with his performance, scoring 35 points and securing 13 rebounds in the game.
The Nuggets demonstrated their depth, hunger, and versatility in the face of adversity, pulling off key defensive stops in the fourth quarter and executing crucial offensive tactics, even in the absence of player Jamal Murray due to injury.
Coach Michael Malone appreciated the team's fourth-quarter defense and credited their triumphant win to their 37% shooting restriction imposed on the Warriors, as well as notable 3-point defense.
The Nuggets' victory ends an 11-day period during which they defeated the team that has traditionally troubled them, thereby demonstrating their significant growth as a unit.
