New York should still be riding high after a win, while Golden State will be looking to right the ship.
The Denver Nuggets typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday the Knicks proved too difficult a challenge. New York skirted past Denver 106-103. It was another big night for New York’s power forward Julius Randle, who posted a double-double on 34 points and 11 boards.
Meanwhile, the Warriors lost to the Phoenix Suns on the road by a decisive 130-119 margin. Point guard Stephen Curry did his best for Golden State, finishing with 50 points (a whopping 42% of their total) and six assists in addition to nine rebounds.
