Nuggets vs. Warriors: Score, Video Highlights and Recap from January 2

First, he misfired on a running 5-footer and Thompson, fouled after Warriors backup center Marreese Speights snatched the rebound, increased the Golden State lead to 111-108 by making one of two free throws with 6.9 seconds left.

Faried raised his right arm for a thumbs-up to fans who stuck around after Golden State’s 111-108 overtime victory. The Warriors led 37-11 at one point after a 21-2 opening flurry during which Green bombed in four straight 3-pointers. The Nuggets couldn’t hit anything in the fist quarter (22% from the field), while the Warriors – Green, particular – couldn’t miss (64% from the field).

Maybe even since before the team left Houston on New Year’s Eve, where Green decimated the Rockets with 16 assists and his fifth triple-double of the year.

The Nuggets said Faried was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

Thompson began shooting from the far corner, where the baseline meets the sideline about five feet behind where the basket protrudes.

Curry, who had missed the previous two games with a leg injury, played 14 minutes before leaving with a recurrence of the problem with 2:15 remaining in the second quarter. Green made his first four three-point shots and finished the quarter with 18 points, four rebounds and four assists.

The injury was bad enough to keep Curry from returning to action in the second half. Some of it probably has to do with the “too easy” nature of the Warriors’ early lead. They needed the lift, what with two fresh injuries being added to an already long list. That doesn’t count the 15th man, first-round draft pick Kevon Looney, who has missed the entire season after hip surgery.

“We will try to acclimate him back in slowly but surely and he is going to give us a low-post presence I think will be a great addition for us”, coach Michael Malone said. “I didn’t see the play”.

“I want to thank everyone for the get will soon calls, text, tweets & comments!” But if I were to choose one gesture that captures the essence of this team, it would be the point. Steve Kerr didn’t come back.

“That’s good, it’s awesome for him”, Kings guard Darren Collison said. The Warriors complete a two-game homestand Monday against Charlotte.

“There’s nobody who competes harder than Draymond”, Walton said.

Faried stumbled a bit then was helped to the baseline where he was attended to by Nuggets trainers and eventually taken off on a stretcher, accompanied by medical personnel.
