Game Story

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The Denver Nuggets had an 
offensive explosion but at the same time endured a defensive
implosion.

Antawn Jamison scored 15 of his 34 points in the first quarter
as the Golden State Warriors never trailed in a 110-89 victory
over the Nuggets.

Last in the NBA in scoring, Denver scored above 85 points for
just the third time and reached its second-highest total of the
season.  But anything they did on offense was negated by the
worst defensive effort of the campaign as the Warriors became
just the second opponent to reach triple figures vs. the
Nuggets.

"I was disappointed in the start our veterans have consistently
given us," Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik said. "When you combine
that with youthful mistakes, this is the result.  You can't bury
yourself by 18 on the road and expect to do well.  There might
have to be changes."

"They got the buckets," Nuggets guard James Posey said. "Jamison
was hot tonight.  We couldn't contain him."

As the Nuggets' defense was non-existent, it enabled Golden
State (7-11) to win three in a row for the first time since
November 9-12, 2001.

Golden State also has held foes under triple digits for nine
consecutive games, which is its longest stretch since 1999, when
it did for 11 straight games.

"I look at our defense as one of the keys to our three straight
wins," Warriors coach Eric Musselman said.  "I thought it was
important to come out strong in this ballgame. We told our
players that the first 12 minutes of the game would be more
important than the last 12 minutes of the game tonight."

Golden State took control of this one early, scoring the first
seven points and racing to a 34-16 lead after one quarter.  Its
lead reached double digits for the first time at 15-5 on a
turnaround hook shot by Jamison at the 6:05 mark.

"It's good to finally play the way we are capable of," Jamison
said. "I still feel that we have a long way to go.  It's been a
while since we won three straight games, but why should we be
satisfied with that?"

The Warriors shot 62.5 percent (10-of-16) in the first quarter,
while Denver missed 14 of its last 15 shots and clicked at 22
percent (6-for-27).

At halftime, Golden State led, 55-37.  Denver got within 68-55
on Juwan Howard's fadeaway jumper with 4:33 remaining in the
third quarter, but Golden State made eight foul shots to take an
82-63 lead into the final period.

Jamison, who was held to 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting in
Friday's win at Denver, made 10-of-17 shots and 13-of-15 free
throws.

Besides Jamison's fifth 30-point game,  Troy Murphy added 16
points and Gilbert Arenas chipped in 12 as Golden State shot
under 51 percent (32-of-63).

"We played hard from the start tonight," Warriors rookie guard
Mike Dunleavy said. "We knew Denver likes to come out strong, so
it was intent to get on top early.  We were able to get an
early lead and maintain that lead throughout the game."

Donnell Harvey scored 16 points for the Nuggets, who shot 40
percent (34-of-85) and trailed by 27 points early in the fourth
quarter.
