The visiting Golden State Warriors crushed the Denver Nuggets on their home floor on Thursday, 125 - 101. For the first - time in 72 games, the Warriors' (7 - 2) Kevin Durant failed to score 20 or more points. The snapped streak comes just a day after Durant tied Michael Jordan for the third - longest 20 - point game streak in NBA history. It was far from an off night for Durant, however, as he posted 18 points, nine rebounds, and five assists on the night while shooting 8 - of - 16 from the field. It was reigning MVP Steph Curry, however, who stole the show, scoring a team - high 33 points while hitting seven three - pointers on the night. The Warriors' offense was firing on all cylinders on Thursday, as the team recorded 33 assists and shot over 54 percent from the field. Strong shooting helped the team hop out to a 38 - 19 lead by the end of the first quarter, a lead that they only build on throughout the remainder of the game. The Nuggets (3 - 4), meanwhile, struggled mightily from the floor. The team shot just over 36 percent from the field and only 70 percent from the free - throw line. Rookie guard Jamal Murray led the team with 14 points off the bench, despite shooting just 5 - of - 15 from the field. Sophomore Emmanuel Mudiay fared even worse despite a career night earlier in the week against Boston. Mudiay hit just 4 - of - 15 on field goal attempts on Thursday. Denver's inability to find the basket made their early deficit almost insurmountable. The Nuggets will host the Pistons on Saturday, while the Warriors will host the Suns on Sunday.
