On the Golden State Warriors podcast with Barbara Mason:

#1 The five game win streak the Golden State Warriors (15-15) brought into Ball Arena in Denver came to an end with a 120-114 ending to the Denver Nuggets (21-10). What were some of Golden State’s mistakes in this one?

#2 Nuggets always a challenge their the defending NBA Champions and they have two of the toughest offensive players in Jamal Murray (28 pts) and Nikola Jokic (26 pts).

#3 An indication of how things were when the Nuggets took a 6-0 lead to start the game and the Warriors would come away with a 54-53 half time lead.

#4 It wasn’t enough the Nuggets caught up in the second half and the Warriors effort from Andrew Wiggins (22 pts) and Stephen Curry (18 pts) was not enough in the six point loss.

#5 The Warriors aim to get back on track when they tip off against the Miami Heat (17-12) who defeated the Atlanta Hawks 122-114 on Friday. Tell us how you see the Heat and Warriors battle Thu Dec 28th for a 7:00pm PT tip off at the Chase Center.
