The depleted Denver Nuggets beat the Jimmy Butler-era Golden State Warriors 114–105 at the Chase Center on Monday night. It was the Warriors' first loss in over two weeks, but despite the victory it was a bad look for the Nuggets, and not only because Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray sat out.
But also because they both committed and allowed flagrant breaking of the unwritten rules. After taking control of the ball with 26 seconds remaining and a 10-point lead, Nuggets forward Peyton Watson scored a basket when he could have just dribbled out the shot clock.
