For the third time in the Golden State Warriors’ early stretch of season, one of their games came down to the final seconds. With two game-winners already under their belt, the Warriors had the chance to tie the game with time running down against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday evening.
After a back and forth heavyweight fight to close their road trip, the Warriors found themselves down two following a pair of missed free throws from Nikola Jokic. Despite getting a good look at game-tying shot, Steph Curry’s layup didn’t fall, sealing the thrilling contest in the defending champion Nuggets’ favor.
Klay Thompson had the chance for a late long-distance shot to tie the game as well, but the ball appeared to slip out of his hands before he could hoist up one last heave.
With a loss to the Nuggets, the Warriors’ road trip ended 2-2. Curry lead the Warriors with 23 points on 6-of-17 shooting from the field with six made triples. Curry added five rebounds and four assists.
