Golden State defeated Denver 128–117 at Chase Center on February 22, with the Warriors' balanced scoring and three-point barrage overwhelming the Nuggets despite Nikola Jokić's 35-point effort. M. Moody led Golden State with 23 points while A. Horford added 22, and the Warriors' 21 three-pointers on 51.1 percent shooting proved the decisive difference against Denver's 8 made threes on 46.2 percent from the field. Golden State's third quarter was a turning point—they outscored Denver 19–34 in that frame, though both teams finished with 44 rebounds and the Nuggets distributed 25 assists to the Warriors' 42. The home team's 121.6 offensive rating and 109.6 defensive rating underscored their control, while Denver's fourth-quarter collapse (just 16 points) sealed the outcome well below the Vegas total of 228.5. Jokic's 35 points and Jamal Murray's 21 were insufficient to overcome Golden State's depth and perimeter efficiency. The loss could impact Denver's playoff positioning as the Warriors assert themselves in the Western Conference race.
