Nikola Jokic produced 32 points,16 assists, and 16 rebounds and Jamal Murray delivered 27 points,3 assists, and 4 rebounds. Both of them delivered top-notch performances but Jokic was certainly a class apart. The Warriors had an excellent start but faltered under tremendous pressure from the Denver Nuggets. Stephen Curry produced 20 points,4 assists, and 1 rebound, and Klay Thompson put up 23 points 1 assist, and 2 rebounds but still, it was not enough to earn them the victory over the Nuggets who looked calm and composed under pressure.
