Who won Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors?
Golden State Warriors beat Denver Nuggets 137-131 at Chase Center on October 23, 2025.
In a thrilling overtime encounter, the Golden State Warriors triumphed over the Denver Nuggets with a final score of 137-131. This victory marks the Warriors' strong start to the season, improving their record to 3-0, while the Nuggets fall to 0-2. The game took place at the Chase Center, where the Warriors have shown resilience and skill, particularly in high-pressure situations.
The Warriors came into this matchup with a recent record of 7-3 over their last ten games, showcasing a scoring average of 120.4 points per game while allowing 108.5. They entered the game on a winning streak of one, having recently defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 119-109 on October 22. In contrast, the Nuggets, with a record of 5-5 in their last ten games, had averaged 121.1 points but allowed 117.1, indicating a more offensive style but also vulnerabilities on defense. They were on a three-game winning streak before facing the Warriors, having won against the Houston Rockets 126-111 in their last outing.
At home, the Warriors have struggled this season with a record of 1-3, but they have been dominant on the road, boasting a 6-0 away record. The Nuggets, however, have a home record of 3-4 and an away record of 2-1, which highlights their difficulties in securing wins away from home. The Warriors had previously faced the Nuggets earlier in the season on April 5, where they secured a convincing 118-104 victory, giving them a 1-0 lead in the current series.
Injuries played a role in this matchup, with the Warriors missing key players Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody due to knee injuries. For the Nuggets, Aaron Gordon was listed as day-to-day with a calf injury, and Trevon Brazile was also day-to-day with an undisclosed issue. The absence of Butler, a crucial player for the Warriors, could have shifted the dynamics of the game, but the team managed to find ways to compensate effectively.
The market had priced the Warriors as favorites, reflecting their strong start to the season and home-court advantage, although specific odds were not provided in the block. The game conditions were conducive to a competitive atmosphere, with both teams looking to establish themselves early in the season.
As the game unfolded, it became a nail-biter, with both teams exchanging leads and showcasing their offensive capabilities. The Warriors' Stephen Curry played a pivotal role in the overtime period, contributing crucial points that ultimately secured the victory. The scoring plays in overtime highlighted the intensity of the match, with Curry making significant contributions, including free throws that sealed the game.
Overall, this matchup was not just another game; it was a testament to the competitive spirit of both teams and their desire to start the season on a high note. The Warriors' ability to perform under pressure, especially in overtime, speaks volumes about their depth and resilience, while the Nuggets will need to address their defensive shortcomings as they look to bounce back in their next games.
