Shorthanded Warriors Upset Nuggets Behind Horford's 6 Threes and 7 Assists

Steve Kerr said Horford’s floor spacing set the tone for Golden State’s win over Denver.

Overview

  • Golden State beat Denver 128–117 despite multiple injuries to core players, snapping a two-game skid.
  • Al Horford started after Draymond Green was a late scratch with lower back soreness and posted 22 points, six three-pointers and seven assists in 26 minutes.
  • Kerr praised Horford’s pick-and-pop spacing as the Warriors hit 15 three-pointers in the first half to seize early control.
  • According to Polymarket Hoops, Horford became the oldest center to make five first-half threes in an NBA game.
  • With Kristaps Porziņģis ruled out for the upcoming back-to-back against the Pelicans and Grizzlies, Horford could continue in a starting role.
