The Denver Nuggets after losing to the Brooklyn Nets immediately bounced back with a 10-point victory over the Golden State Warriors. Nikola Jokic is on his usual triple-double night with 23 points, 14 rebounds, and ten assists. He got a lot of help especially from the backcourt tandem of Will Barton and Jamal Murray each doing 17 points. Jamychal Green also had a notable night almost hitting a double-double of 15 points and nine rebounds. The Nuggets had a total of seven players scoring in double-figures and that is a good sign for them heading to a tough game against the Utah Jazz.
