Trailing the Nuggets by seven points with 2:42 to play on Thursday night, Steph Curry led Golden State on an 11–4 run to close out regulation and force overtime. Curry scored all of those 11 points by himself—five free throws and two three-pointers, including a game-tying triple from 34 feet with 21.9 seconds left.

The Warriors ran away with a 16-4 third-quarter run, eventually beating Luka Dončić (43 points) and the Lakers 119-109 to cap our opening night doubleheader.
