00:00four-point spread in favor of Golden State and then it became an eight-point spread and then

00:05it became nearly a 13-point spread by the time we got the tip late night in Northern California

00:11because no Nicole Jokic, no Jamal Murray, no Christian Brown for the Denver Nuggets

00:17and still no issue. The Nuggets went on the road outright as let's just call it a hefty underdog

00:23114-105 led by 38 points from Aaron Gordon snapping the Warriors seven-game win streak.

00:30Now it looks like Adam Silver is going to have to dip into another investigation into why these NBA

00:35teams are benching just about every starter without notice coming into it but having said that

00:39that means the Golden State Warriors should have came away with a walkaway victory 140-98 because

00:43how could the Denver Nuggets even compete with a team as hot as the Golden State Warriors? Well

00:48then you get Aaron Gordon say all right everybody's out let me have a day 14 of 23 from the field

00:52which included four of six from three-point range six of six from the free throw line for 38 points

00:57and then just have Russell Westbrook get back in the time machine and say Mr. Triple Double is here

01:0112-12 and 16 yes 16 assists for Russell Westbrook that's a crazy game but it just goes to show you

01:08like you know we talk about any given night things can happen that was just unexpected that is an

01:12easy victory for the Warriors that they somehow let squander which I still can't fathom because

01:17if you see the final score like yeah Denver's pretty good team Jokic probably had a big night

01:20but basically nobody played like when your superstars are sitting this one out and you

01:24still win on the road that's a plus one for the Denver Nuggets who now improve to 44 and

01:2825 on the season a needed victory for them a found victory even better.
