Gordon’s 50 points also set a franchise record for the most points scored in a season opener for the Nuggets. This performance, however, could not secure a victory, as the Warriors claimed a tight win, marking Denver’s first game of the season with a loss.
Impact of the Game
The Golden State Warriors, led by superstar Stephen Curry, showcased their experience in tight matchups. Curry’s late game heroics pushed the game into overtime, and his contributions sealed the win for Golden State. With this victory, the Warriors improved their record to 2-0 for the season.
Denver, on the other hand, must regroup and focus on the upcoming games. Gordon’s performance provides a silver lining and demonstrates that if he maintains this level of play, the Nuggets have a strong chance of bouncing back in the rest of the season.
