Golden State Warriors vs Denver Nuggets 1st Qtr Full Highlights | Jan 04 | NBA Highlights 2023

Struggle and they’ve actually been a negative now the Warriors are winning with their bench and K having to experiment with different lineups and rotations Michael Porter Jr gets to the rack and lays it in he continues to shine just a major wild card now Porter got a hand on

That Curry to Thompson Thompson Not Afraid misses kaminga offensive rebound the Warriors are terrific on the offensive glass well the smaller teams in the league but they do rebounded BR Thompson off the bank and a foul and he’s got a chance an old school three-point play yeah misses his first two jump

Shots the first one badly but this is the kind of thing that can get you going he’s on the attack here takes a contact from Murray stays with it gets it in the basket and now a chance to get three as you said Brian the oldfashioned way

Coach one of the more revealing postgame press conferences the conversation he had with Steve Kerr I don’t think Steve cerr necessarily wanted that in out in public he said he’s had multiple conversations with Klay Thompson but something resonated with Kay about the perspective of his career yeah no

Question I mean as Steve cerr told us today Klay Thompson such a perfectionist wants to make every shot wants to play great every game tends to get down on himself but that negative energy affects his team and he just want to enjoy it more Golden State and interesting that Chris Paul’s

Up here picking up Jamal Murray full court that’s something we saw Chris Paul do in his younger days haven’t seen a lot of it the last few years yeah Chris Paul likes to remind his coaching staff he’s been on that all defensive team a number of times as Gordon sticks the

Landing on a three ball that’s been rare this year Jordon having a terrible year shooting three Chris Paul reings one in well Chris Paul shooting over 50% from three in the games he started but 26% in his games off the bench Murray jumps that pass from kaminga and a steal Porter drives it

Gives it up to Gordon Warriors and they leave jic wide open Looney with some miscommunication down underneath easy bucket for joic who is rolling right along here his field goal percentage is off the charts here in the last two games he’s only missed three baskets in his last four games now Thon

Hits on his third attempt that was true and that look like the Thompson of old yeah well sometimes you just need that one to go down from wherever it is Aon Gordon getting a little carried away not shooting the three well makes one and so now he’s going to uh go back

To shooting at 26% on the season nice action there Thompson sets up kaminga postseason last year winning their first title bringing it home to Denver and the nuggets at 24- 11 currently third in the west Murray misses a three-pointer the nuggets are 16 and five when they’ve had Murray this year

You know that’s he’s missed a lot of games with injuries over time and they’ve struggled without him but when they have him they’re probably the team to be Murray’s missed 14 games is car left open sticks a little mid-range jumper Jamal Murray missed 14 games ankle and hamstring problems Curry got

Stuck on Gordon and Gordon just removed him from the picture Aaron Gordon one thing that he has done very well in Denver is when he gets switched onto a guard and they go from defense to offense he goes right to the rim he’s had great success Loy going strong and a

Third and one opportunity in this first quarter gavon Looney back in the starting lineup tonight for Steve cerr he’s going to the line yeah not a guy who looks at The Rim a lot but strong move there and Gordon just up under him bumps him for the foul Trace Jackson Davis starting the

Last two games Steve C is saying more of a matchup with joic getting Looney back in the starting lineup tonight yeah a little bit stronger to play against joic and a little bit more experienced uh was worried about joic being able to bait Jackson Davis into fouls and and [Applause] Mistakes here for Golden State and they’ve opened up a 10-point lead Denver is not LED in this game second of our double header tonight on TNT Michael Malone riding with the starting five that has been so good dominating most of the major categories and led by joic who lays it in and joic

Now with six points to make a little bit out of control recovers that would have counted had it gone two free throws here for kaminga there is Michael Malone what a job he’s done now in his ninth year as the Nuggets head coach and now a championship winning head coach yeah

Michael Malone’s done a great job growing this team and the organization has done a great job with continuity I mean these players have been together for a long time Michael Mone has been with them for a long time everybody knows what’s expected here continuity a very underrated part of success in the NBA

Great basketball Legacy not a an interview goes by with Michael Malone where he doesn’t reference his late father Brendan who was uh very close with you as well coach and on your staff and that is an incredible Legacy to pass down father to son and Michael has had a

Tremendous career now as a head coach but a long time assistant prior to that yeah and you know it’s the first year that Michael’s had to go through not having his dad to talk to and I can tell you that even when brenon left our staff in Detroit and went to scouting Brenan

Was a guy I called all the time so for mik not to have that will be an adjustment for him Michael Porter Jun hits a three pointer and humility as well for the first time in 47 years the Denver Nuggets became NBA champions last season the mentality since guys has been as

Jamal Murray told me we have more work to do it all starts with the gold as they’ll have to find a way to slow down this hot handed Golden State Warriors but it starts with Nicole yic who his teammates called the ultimate professional he told me quote I prepare

Myself the same and I have for the Last 5 Years so maybe the championship is the reward for that but the biggest thing he said was everyone has the same goal which is to chase the championship so instead of looking at it as we are the hunted no we’re hunting too we are

Hunting this Championship Reggie Jackson told me we have guys that have been overlooked and slighted but we are stars in our own role it’s always interesting watching the Nuggets their bench has struggled although they’ve been a little better lately their bench is a concern and how Michael

Malone matches up with his bench players is always a key as nuggets turn it over but Curry trips and falls and gives it right back now yic Tak it on Jackson Davis and he lays it in and a lot of baskets coming at the rim for the

Joker yic is five out of six he’s got double figures already 10 points in the first seven minutes so he’s now made 31 of his last 34 field goals attempts three plus games only missed three in the three games plus this one tonight and he’s made 30 consecutive

Free throws as he just bangs his way inside and kaminga brushed aside y yic with 12 now well joic knows he’s going to get shot the Warriors are not going to double team him they want to take away his assists and take other people out of the

Game make him a scorer rather than playmaker yic STS one down the court again Curry’s on him kaminga and Curry with the SL Gordon Curr has had a much more productive bench than Michael Malone and those waves are coming in jsky stands in there no whistle gon gets his own twice he’s

Still playing with stitches in his hand and his face a dog his dog bit him he’s got lacerations and his hand in face the shs comes up short Gordon just his second game back leades it for kcp Denver nice in transition and a three-point game here Curry’s hit 1 three and he finds

Jackson Davis kcp knocks it out of his hands but recovered by Andrew Wiggins now coming off the bench for the Warriors well I like Jackson Davis as a pick and roll partner for their guards guy who rolls very well Warriors not able to stop anything at The Rim right

Now about G with that body control stopped on a dime got himself open Curry is open misses all the well Pope with the rebound three-point Warriors lead yic the playmaker that he is backs down Char a reset Wiggins showing and now sh knocked it out of his hands Yin turns it over

Char got a mismatch with Jackson there’s [Applause] yic Christian Brown a little Helter Skelter here
