The Denver Nuggets (25 - 41) defeated the Golden State Warriors (51 - 13) 114 - 103 on Friday at the Pepsi Center in Denver. With the Warriors resting Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala, the Nuggets were able to come out and end the Warriors' five - game win streak. Despite the loss, the Warriors remain six and a half games ahead of the Grizzlies for the number one spot in the Western Conference standings. Helping pull off the win for the Nuggets was their shooting, as they went 50 percent from the field and 47 percent from the three - point line, while the Warriors finished at 42 percent from the floor and 42 percent from deep. The Nuggets continued to use their small lineup during Friday's game, with Kenneth Faried getting the start at center. He was quite successful this time around, finishing with 24 points (10 - 18 FG, 4 - 6 FT) and 17 rebounds in 34 minutes. It marked his second double - double over his last three games, a stretch where he's averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds, while shooting over 55 percent from the field. Danilo Gallinari matched Faried with 24 points (7 - 16 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 9 - 11 FT) of his own, to go along with seven rebounds in 34 minutes. He's on a nice two - game stretch where he's combined for 47 points and 12 rebounds. Randy Foye was the third memeber of the starting lineup to reach the 20 - point mark, as he went 6 - for - 12 from the field and 4 - for - 9 from the three - point line to score 20 points, while adding eight assists. He's been very inconsistent with his scoring, as he's posted anywhere between three and 20 points over his last five games. Jameer Nelson chipped in with 17 points (7 - 12 FG, 3 - 4 3Pt) and seven assists as well. With Curry and Thompson on the bench, Shaun Livingston and Justin Holiday got the start at the guard spots. Holiday finished with a team - high of 23 points (9 - 16 FG, 5 - 7 3Pt), while Livingston added 12 points (5 - 13 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and eight assists as well. This was just the sixth time Holiday has reached double figures in points this season, and a nice surprise for the Warriors, as he's averaging just 4 points on the season. Also helping to keep the Warriors in the game was a couple of their bench players. Rookie James Michael-McAdoo went 6 - for - 10 from the field and 4 - for - 6 from the free throw line to score 16 points, to go along with five rebounds in 28 minutes. It was just his fifth game of the season, as he's spent the majority of his time in the NBA D-League since being signed for the rest of the season by the Warriors in mid - February. It was a career - high in points for the guard. Leandro Barbosa chipped in with 14 points (5 - 13 FG, 3 - 4 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and nine assists as well. The Nuggets' next game will be on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, while the Warriors will be at home against the New York Knicks on Saturday.
