Baron Davis and the Warriors' upbeat, fast-paced style of play are keeping them afloat in the Western conference. They have shown there is no challenge to great for them to overcome. Sunday night Golden State sparkled with an offensive flair as they snapped the Denver Nuggets' 7-game win streak with a 105-95 victory. Allen Iverson had an off-night scoring and the Warriors took advantage. Running the ball hard GS flourished off fast-break chances. Baron Davis lead all scores with 28 points.
The defense was the x-factor for the Warriors in this game. They put much pressure on Iverson and forced him to take low-percentage shots while Carmelo tried to carry the scoring load, dropping 26 points. The Warriors lead the game from halftime as Harrington hit a three to put his team up 55-51. From there the Nuggets cut the deficit to 3 points in the 4th quarter, but couldn't force a tie or pull ahead. Another major contributing factor to the win was Coach Don Nelson having Baron Davis stick Iverson rather than lanky guard Stephen Jackson. The strategy resulted in 2-of-12 shooting for the Nuggets star guard.
Golden State establishes a 18-13 record, 4 games in back of the Suns in third place. I believe they have yet to play their best game of the season. If they can fend off the competition in the West they can probably garner a higher seed for the playoffs than last season. Baron Davis has a 50-point plus performance in him I just know it. Who knows it could be another Mavericks vs. Warriors showdown in the postseason.
