The Golden State Warriors (67-15) wrapped the 2014-15 season up with a victory, outpacing the visiting Denver Nuggets 133-126 in a warm-up for Saturday’s first-round opener against Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans.

Klay Thompson scored 25 points despite the Warriors starting five seeing limited action. Stephen Curry played only 19 minutes, ensuring he’d be fresh for the opening round of the Western Conference playoffs. The potential Most Valuable Player scored 10 points on 4 of 10 shooting over his 19 minutes of action.

For the Nuggets (30-52), Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari put up 18 a piece while Erick Green chipped in 17 off the bench.

Golden State wrapped up the top seed well in advance of Thursday night, knowing full well they’d face the eighth-seed at Oracle Arena to open the postseason after a record-setting 67-win season that included a pair of 17+ game home winning streaks. It took until tonight for the final seed to be decided though, with the Pelicans topping the San Antonio Spurs for the final spot in the playoffs. Golden State went 3-1 in the regular season against the Pelicans.
