Warriors Outlast Nuggets in Thrilling OT Battle, Curry’s 42 Overshadow Gordon’s 50

SAN FRANCISCO – In a high-scoring season opener for both teams, the Golden State Warriors emerged victorious against the Denver Nuggets with a final score of 137-131 in overtime on Thursday night. Stephen Curry led the charge with a stellar 42-point performance, including a clutch game-tying three-pointer in the dying seconds of regulation.

The game was a rollercoaster, with the Nuggets initially falling behind 10-0 before roaring back to take control. Aaron Gordon exploded for a career-high 50 points, breaking Alex English’s franchise record for a season opener of 47 points set in 1985 against Golden State. Gordon’s 10 3-pointers tied Terry Rozier’s record set in 2020 for the most made in a season opener. Gordon made all seven his attempts from 3 in the first half — the most 3-pointers ever in the first half of a season opener to help Denver take a 70-61 lead at the break. Gordon matched Golden State’s output from long range in the half on 16 fewer attempts.

The final moments of regulation were filled with drama. After Gordon drained a three-pointer to give the Nuggets a late lead, Curry responded with his own game-tying bomb with just 4.3 seconds remaining. Nikola Jokic missed a shot at the buzzer, sending the game into overtime.

In the extra period, the Warriors seized control with a 12-2 run. Key three-pointers from Al Horford and Jimmy Butler sealed the win for Golden State, marking their second consecutive victory to start the season.

Despite the loss, Jokic had a stellar performance with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists, joining Oscar Robertson as the only players with four triple-doubles in season openers.

Looking Ahead:

  • The Nuggets will host the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.
  • The Warriors will travel to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night.
