Warriors Win Despite Curry’s Season Low

The Golden State Warriors extended their unbeaten streak to 15 games with a 118-105 road victory over the Denver Nuggets, tying the NBA record for best season start. According to Melbet App updates, Stephen Curry saw limited action in this matchup, playing less than 28 minutes and scoring 19 points on 8-for-16 shooting—his lowest scoring performance of the season so far.

Golden State came out strong, hitting four of their first five shots to grab a 9-3 lead. Denver capitalized briefly when Curry missed several deep attempts, attacking the paint for an 8-2 run to close the gap. Midway through the first quarter, both sides traded baskets. Andrew Bogut led the charge for the Warriors with 8 quick points. With Curry finally knocking down a three-pointer and Iguodala and Draymond Green hitting from beyond the arc, the Warriors built a double-digit lead by the end of the quarter, up 34-23. Curry had 7 points on 3-of-7 shooting in the first. Golden State currently leads the league in three-point percentage at 40.9%, while Denver ranks near the bottom in defending the arc, allowing 38.8%—a mismatch clearly evident as the Warriors shot 4-for-9 from long range in the opening frame.

Golden State shot 60% overall in the first quarter, hitting 15 of 25 shots. Denver, plagued by turnovers, committed seven in the first and five more early in the second. Despite that, Will Barton sparked a rally, and Darrell Arthur added 9 points to help Denver push ahead 51-50 after a slam by Danilo Gallinari. Curry struggled in the second, hitting just one of three attempts for 2 points. However, Klay Thompson stepped up, draining three straight three-pointers late in the quarter to help the Warriors reclaim momentum. Although Barton was fouled on a buzzer-beating three and made all his free throws, the Nuggets still trailed 64-58 at halftime. Thompson finished the second quarter with 14 points.

In the third quarter, Curry found a rhythm, scoring 10 points, though Emmanuel Mudiay responded with 9 of his own. In one sequence, Curry tried to draw contact on a fast break but came up empty on a missed layup, leading to a rare airball. Bogut dominated the paint with multiple shot blocks, while Denver missed eight consecutive field goal attempts and committed five turnovers in the third. Even their free throws were off, with three different players each missing two straight across the first three quarters. Golden State led 91-79 heading into the fourth.

The Warriors’ bench took over in the final quarter, extending the lead to 108-87. Curry didn’t return, and the reserves held strong. Melbet App recorded that Denver made seven straight scoring possessions in the closing minutes, with Gallinari and Nikola Jokic completing and-one plays. Green added a dunk but was hit with a technical foul for hanging on the rim. Still, the outcome was never in doubt.

With this win, the Warriors kept their perfect start intact. As fans continue to track every game through the Melbet App, Golden State’s mix of depth, teamwork, and timely shooting continues to shine—even on nights when their superstar posts a season low.
