The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Warriors 114-89. Nuggets' starting five clicked while the Warriors looked disjointed. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
