His six turnovers weren't forced but instead were committed off of lost handles and poor passes.
#Nuggets vs warriors skin#
Austin Rivers did a good job on Curry, as did Facundo Campazzo, who quickly has gotten a reputation as a pesky defender who gets under the skin of those he goes up against.īut, Curry also was just off. Now, credit has to be given to Denver's defense. Steph just COOKED Austin Rivers ð¨âð³ /4yAlgZWgFZ- Warriors on NBCS December 29, 2021Ĭurry finished the night with 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting, including 5-of-14 from 3-point range but that doesn't entirely paint the picture of how Curry's night went. And their ability to get so scorching hot from beyond the arc was a result of missing Green's ability to cover so much ground. The Nuggets shot nearly 60 percent from the floor and over 45 percent from 3-point range in the first half. But Green's absence was the most glaring on defense. They shot just 42.9 percent from the floor and 32.3 percent from 3-point range. The Warriors clearly missed his facilitating, resulting in their offense being far more stagnant than usual. Up until Tuesday night, the Warriors (27-7) have done a nice job at picking up any of the slack left there with players missing games because of injury management and COVID-19 protocols.īut it was obvious against the Nuggets (17-16) that what Draymond Green brings to the team can't be replicated by anyone else. The Warriors found a burst of energy in the fourth quarter fueled by much-improved defense and Steph Curry finding his shot, but it wasn't quite enough, and instead, they fell to Denver 89-86. It was the first time that the Warriors' depleted roster looked as though it was affecting them as they came out flat and without the energy that usually defines their style of play. For the first three quarters of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets at Chase Center, there was no momentum in favor of Golden State. SAN FRANCISCO - Coming off their best win of the season of Christmas Day, the Warriors were looking to build on that momentum.
