Stephen Curry had a brilliant game for the Golden State Warriors. The 32-year-old had a double-double, recording 35 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists while shooting at 60.9% from the field and 45.5% from beyond the arc.

Moreover, Andrew Wiggins and James Wiseman also performed well for the Golden State Warriors, scoring 16 and 14 points respectively.

Offense was never an issue on the night for the Golden State Warriors, but it was their defense that let them down. If they had more quality at that end of the court, this game could have ended in their favor.

This was a game fans of both franchises would have enjoyed, regardless of the outcome. While the Denver Nuggets were in the lead, they did not have a comfortable outing, as the Golden State Warriors refused to go away.

Both teams can build on their performances in this game and look to continue their momentum in the remainder of the 2020-21 NBA season.
