Denver was able to keep up with the Golden State Warriors.

Yes, the Denver Nuggets lost to Golden State, 127-119 , but the game was closer than the final score.

Except for the third quarter, in which we didn’t move our feet, and our rain of threes didn’t fall, Denver played the world champions pretty even.

Even through the third quarter, we only lost 26 to 21.

This was an excellent game and a real building block for our young team’s experience and confidence. Keep tweaking the rotations, coach.

With more experience Denver will get there.
