With Nikola Jokic on the bench due to injury, the Golden State Warriors quickly took command over the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena on Sunday afternoon in another pivotal game with playoff implications during the final stretch of the regular season.
After jumping out to a lead that grew as big as 15 points in the second quarter, the Warriors’ road struggles began to show in Denver. Without their MVP candidate in the frontcourt, the Nuggets began to storm back and take control. Before the halftime buzzer, the Warriors clung to only a three-point advantage.
