Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets Full Highlights 3rd QTR | Dec 25 | 2023 NBA Regular

One thing we have seen even though jokic’s shooting numbers have not been there the offense has been a lot more effective when that starting five has been on the floor for Denver versus the bench well that’s one we were talking about in the open how the gift giving as

Steph Curry gets a A open look and another Curry misses both but for joic he can impact the game in so many ways the minute he’s on the court the offense op opens up the movement happens that’s what makes him yic you know just the way he impacts it with

Passing and scoring and the offense flowing through him B jimsky tried to jump the RO Caldwell Pope blocks it up to Gordon outstanding decision there from Caldwell Pope that is actually a very very difficult pass you’re flat footed in the paint and you throw a touch lob to Aaron Gordon don’t get me

Wrong you got some room for error with him but that’s just a very difficult play Looney again the second time we’ve seen him finish into the body of jic well when you put two on the ball and L Looney has a head of steam he’s able to

Use his body and his strength to score over the top despite not being very athletic nice look Murray Gordon no Curry astutely Taps the rebound over to kaminga kaminga shakes in kaminga able to hit both free throws a 5855 lead for Golden State gave you the numbers earlier but kinga’s last nine games

Averaging over 15 1 12 points on 60% shooting Looney with the contest here’s joic draws two to the corner kcp connects out of three a gorgeous delivery from the two-time MVP Nicole yic yeah and Steph had Steph was guarding joic so Klay comes over that’s two on the ball and joic will find

Whoever is open here’s kaminga trying to post Murray kaminga searchs it his way and that’s what Steve CT talked about just quick decisions you know understanding as that Ball’s coming to you reading the defense before it touches your hands know if you’re going to shoot know if

You’re going to drive being able to make quicker reads and he says during this stretch that’s what kaminga has done such a great job of Murray backing down paj jimsky Murray able to finish a little Flex afterwards from Jamal Murray Murray coming off an incredible play off off run last season as kaminga

Storms in and gets the whistle against [Applause] joic this is something that Jamal Murray does he posts up against other guards loves to turn over that right shoulder just uses his strength and touch to score over paj jimsky there I believe they called that foul on Porter rather than number three on yic

So they did would have been number three you know going back to Murray for a second guys Michael Malone talked about it to us in the playoffs last year hey our last two postseason runs we didn’t have our second Superstar and I think a lot of people

Would have looked at the term Superstar and said really for Jamal Murray or is he just a really good player well last year he made it darn clear he is a star and he was on the verge of making his first All-Star game before the injury I

Think he’s an Allstar this year in my opinion here’s Curry laying it in off the delivery from kaminga and just to put a bow on that in the playoffs last year 266 and S on 47% from the floor and 39 and a thought okay Jamal Murray was

Going to come back the following year in time for the playoffs took a little bit longer but made sure he was all the way back and then delivered when it mattered most here’s Curry again gets to the cup and I love what Steph did there he knows

Joic is going to be up in that pick and roll and he just attacks him off the dribble something that Dane does as well as anyone Curry there with the easy two and Jamal Murray answers right back with the three boy it’d be fun if we got a

Curry and Jamal Murray shootout here in the third quar a little better offensive Rhythm from both teams to begin this second half here’s Curry dancing waiting give it up seven to shoot kaming once again trying to storm in on Murray and does emphatically with a slam just go when you’re that strong

That athletic you just go and let let your talent take over make sure you’re in a good position but kaminga has been doing such a great job of that the last couple of weeks seven points already this quarter for kaminga yic bumps floats and the Finish from Gordon

But the only way that Aaron Gordon hurts you there is if you lose focus and don’t pay attention on him if you’re staring at joic that’s the only way Aaron Gordon can hurt you in that moment Curry from the mid-range no Gordon Soares in comes up with a rebound KP to the

R fun start to the second half in [Applause] Denver much more of a rhythm for both teams here’s Curry his three is [Applause] good it’s still amazing that no matter where you go the Warriors always have a ton of fans in the building yic gets fouled by Looney and Nico yic will shoot

Too and here’s this pass earlier from nicoa yic to Aaron Gordon his second lob to him Aon Gordon does such a good job of just hanging out in the dunker spot and when the help goes catches the L hey RJ why did they call it the dunker spot

Uh cuz that’s where you get dunks that’s where you get a lot of dunks you know to your point though I thought our colleague Kendra Andrews did a wonderful story last year on Aaron Gordon the time he spent overseas with Nicole yic and how he realized after playing The

Warriors in the playoffs the season before he said not only did I feel like I got outplay played by Golden State but I thought that I got out thought by Golden State and it made me reassess and try and learn more about the game and study film in different ways and he said

I also knew Michael Porter Jr would be coming back and Jamal Murray would be coming back and I was going to have to find my baskets in different ways learn to move off the ball better be more of a grinder I think there’s two things number one being in the starting lineup

Not having to look over your shoulder and to me the game has been simplified for him and you see the level of aggression attacking the basket making quick decisions with passes he’s doing it all right now go say he did but imagine the for the mental fortitude you have to be to

Be a referee and have Chris Paul and Steph Curry just harping at you in both ears here’s Curry veering dishing Paul bounces Thompson hits from three the numbers have been spectacular with those three on the floor together Thompson Paul and Curry for Golden State Porter Jr not that time Paul the [Applause]

Rebound now scoring opponents by 10 points per 100 with that Trio as Porter Jr the rejection and the finish what a highlight from mpj M and clay stopped and popped because he thought he was going to get a screen from Looney Looney kept going down the

Floor so Chris Paul thought and and Clay so Klay stops and Pops thinking that there’s going to be a screen no screen Porter’s able to recover and get that block curry with space didn’t take it now shifts into the paint tried to work his way into a whistle did not get

It reie Jackson who struggled shooting lately but has had a very nice it’ss B [Applause] [Applause] Curry no look CL it up to Jackson Davis for the finish a gorgeous no look alley and then how about you take a charge on the other end
