Two weeks after Nuggets upset Warriors, teams meet again

The Golden State Warriors get an opportunity to avenge one of their most stunning defeats in recent years on Monday night when they host the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors (32-8) had won an NBA-best 11 straight games when the Nuggets came to town on Dec. 23 and clobbered them 96-81. It not only was the Warriors' most lopsided home loss of the season, but also the second-largest margin of defeat in a home game in Steve Kerr's four years as head coach.
