Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets 2nd QTR – PART 2 Highlights | Dec 25 | 2023 NBA Season

[Applause] just to give those numbers JJ for those wondering entering today look to me Jamal Murray is an Allstar so if you can’t keep one of them in that definitely hurts your second unit little Twan action Murray yic Murray on the Fall Away in the studio to

Take you through a long afternoon and evening of basketball take a look at the difference with the Nuggets a plus 18 with jic on the floor this afternoon meanwhile Steph Curry just one point does not have a field goal yet in this game after the Warriors bench had erased

A 10-point deficit built a modest lead Denver on an 110 run it ends there on a Wiggins three we’ve talked about a little the inconsistencies this season for the Warriors and certainly they’ve had guys in out of the lineup if they’re going to become an Elite basketball team again

Andrew Wiggins has to play the way he played two years ago and for the first half of last season when he was an [Applause] Allstar Wiggins a career low 12 points per game the shooting has struggled as well he’s had some moments coming off the bench of late before dealing with

Illness and missing the last two games he’s going to continue to come off the bench here is curry connecting on a three first field goal of the game for Steph Curry recently had his record third streak of consecutive games with a made three end at 268 straight games Marie no Looney Flags

It down into the arms of curry good response out of the timeout from Golden State Curry travel he just doesn’t look comfortable as he normally does he doesn’t have his flow you know even here you talked about the one kind of mist travel here knocks down the three some miscommunication

There with Gordon and kcp kcp thought that was going to be a switch which allowed him to create that separation in space but you talk about Comfort a lot of this is kcp just completely locked in right now defensively five to shoot kcp in and out on of [Applause] three Paul leaves for

Curry dancing into the pain Curry no look Looney couldn’t handle it Wiggins fouled by Murray and that will be number three on Jamal Murray going back to Reggie Jackson right now Reggie Jackson’s done a pretty good job of holding down the PT in Jamal Murray’s absence so you know when you

Talk about this Denver Nuggets team and people are wondering yes they won the championship but to me they are still them and Boston are the two best teams in this league and I would still say the Denver Nuggets if the playoffs were to start and everyone’s fully healthy the

Nuggets would be the team to beat was interesting too hearing Michael Malone talk about his bench composition Reggie Jackson running that second unit and how he has a veteran starting five that he doesn’t have to worry about a lot and then a a bench that relies heavily upon

Young players who he has to really coach up bring along develop said it’s it’s a fun challenge in Chucks to position as a coach shot clock down to three here Looney able to muscle it in around [Applause] yic an 80 run from Golden [Applause] state joic lines It Up In and Out

Wiggins the board Paul pushing Pace eyes up he slow it down in general golden state has played at a much slower Pace since Draymond Green suspension as Paul can’t hit the mid-range knocked out of bounds to Denver and I know so much has been said about draymond’s importance but that to

Me defensively yes but the pace he’s the one that creates shots for so many players on their team so when he’s been in and out of the lineup and you see struggles from clay or you see struggles from from from Wiggins it’s like he’s such an important part to what they do

But that pace is a huge thing that the Warriors have been missing that is turned over that’s another inaccurate pass from Denver eighth turnover of this first half for the Nuggets who are one of the best in the league at protecting the basketball third in offensive turnover

Percentage and you take a look at this first half bench points 28 points for the Warriors only eight points for the Nuggets so you know if you’re going into this second half you wonder is Mike Malone going to shorten his is he going to shorten his rotation is he going to

Keep you know joic and Jamal Murray’s already in foul trouble so I’m really curious to see the adjustments he’s going to make two for one opportunity for Golden State Curry finds a foot and it’ll stay here with the Warriors Curry just one for five in this first half Warriors in a

Stretch where they play 11 of 13 at home including seven straight following this one in Denver Thompson just just took a little hop right in front of the officials that’s the 10th Warriors [Applause] turnover and that’s something that Golden State’s done a better job of during this winning streak just

Protecting the basketball we know they always deal with turnover issues but 10 in this first half of that in terms of the turnovers as Gordon gets fouled there and for a good portion of the season they were about middle of the pack in the NBA in turnover percentage

And they’re 26 again they’re they’re in the bottom five again in terms of turning the basketball over just something that has plagued them that and and the amount they foul defensively and send their opponents to the free throw line well that was number three on Wiggins who will check out those

Turnovers they used to be able to weather because their pace and the amount of points but the rest of the league has caught up and that pace so those turnovers are even more crucial 9 second Difference game in shot clock Porter fires short Gordon storms after it can’t get to it and 10.7

Seconds left to operate for Golden [Applause] State Steve cerr will send in Trace Jackson Davis for Looney for this final offensive possession here is Paul the 12-time allstar directing traffic 7 Seconds to go in the half Paul off to Thompson he will fire no Porter the rebound the

Slingshot and that’ll do it for the first half golden state ends it on an
