Nuggets hand Warriors third defeat of NBA season (AFP)

Denver forward Danilo Gallinari scored 28 points and came up with a key late steal as the Nuggets handed the Golden State Warriors just their third defeat of the NBA season, 112-110 in Colorado. Golden State's star guard Stephen Curry on Wednesday scored 38 points, but the Warriors trailed by 10 heading into the final period and couldn't quite climb out of the hole. "I don't think we played hard enough for the majority of the game," said Warriors coach Luke Walton, whose team fell to 36-3.
