In a recent NBA game held at the Ball Arena, the Denver Nuggets emerged victorious over the Golden State Warriors with a final score of 108-105. The game, which took place on November 9, 2023, saw the Nuggets improve their overall standing to 8-1 and maintain an undefeated home record of 6-0.
The Nuggets' victory was largely attributed to the stellar performance of their big man, Nikola Jokic, who scored 35 points and secured 13 rebounds in over 36 minutes of play. Reggie Jackson, who stepped in for the injured Jamal Murray, also contributed significantly to the team's success with an additional 20 points.
The Warriors, despite being short-handed due to the absence of Draymond Green for personal reasons and Gary Payton II due to illness, managed to keep the game close. Their bench outscored Denver's backups 42-12, highlighting the depth of their squad.
The game was not without its share of thrilling moments. Key instances included Stephen Curry hitting an off-balanced 3-pointer to put the Warriors within a possession, and Nikola Jokic draining a long jumper as the shot clock expired. However, Klay Thompson's failed attempt to get a shot off as time expired marked a turning point in the game.
The game saw multiple lead changes, with the Nuggets finally taking the lead in the fourth quarter. Despite not covering the spread, the Nuggets won at -5319 odds. The total score was 213, falling under the over/under of 214.5. The game was well-attended, with an attendance of 19,737, exceeding the Ball Arena's capacity of 19,520.
