DEN vs GSW ScoutingDEN vs GSW Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Jokic has 25 points, 15 rebounds, Nuggets beat Warriors 116-93 for their 6th straight win
DENVER -- — Nikola Jokic had 25 points and 15 rebounds, Jamal Murray had 20 points, and the surging Denver Nuggets beat the short-handed Golden State Warriors 116-93 on Sunday night.
Jokic finished two assists shy of his fifth straight triple-double but led Denver to its sixth consecutive win. The Nuggets (48-28) are two games ahead of Minnesota and Houston for fourth in the Western Conference.
Brandin Podziemski and Kristaps Porzingis scored 23 apiece for Golden State, which continued to be without Stephen Curry .
Curry missed his 25th game in a row with a balky right knee. The Warriors (36-39) have lost 16 of the 25 games with Curry sidelined.
Denver forward Aaron Gordon was out after experiencing calf soreness when he woke up Sunday morning. Gordon has missed 44 games this season with separate hamstring injuries.
The Nuggets then lost Spencer Jones to hamstring tightness in the first half and Cameron Johnson went to the locker room early in the third quarter holding his left ribs.
Johnson returned to the bench with his torso wrapped. Neither played again.
Things became chippy in the second quarter when Denver backup center Zeke Nnaji , pressed into action due to the injuries, got into an altercation with De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II after Murray and LJ Cryer exchanged shoves.
Late in the period Payton was hit with a Flagrant 1 for a hard foul on Peyton Watson .
Golden State went on a 19-2 run in the second quarter to lead by 13 and it was 53-46 at halftime, but the Nuggets rallied. Tim Hardaway Jr . had 10 points in third when Denver outscored the Warriors 40-21.
Up next Warriors: Host San Antonio on Tuesday night.
