Without several key players, including Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, the short-handed Golden State Warriors were tasked with stopping a season-high four-game slide on Monday against the reigning Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
With only nine players available, the Warriors pushed the Nuggets down to the wire with a gritty effort behind Jordan Poole and rookie Moses Moody.
Poole led the Warriors with 32 points on 11-of-19 shooting from the field with seven assists, three boards and a block in 34 minutes for the Warriors. Poole did his best Splash Brother impersonation with eight triples on 12 attempts from beyond the arc.
