Authoritative Game Recap (Original Analysis)In a pulse-pounding NBA 2025-26 season opener, the Denver Nuggets (1-0) outlasted the Golden State Warriors (1-1) 114-110 at Chase Center on October 23, 2025, handing Steve Kerr's squad their first loss. The Nuggets, riding high on Nikola Jokić's virtuoso performance, overcame a frantic fourth-quarter Warriors rally to kick off the year with a statement win against a perennial contender. This matchup, billed as a Jokić-Curry showdown, delivered with 224 combined points and defensive lapses that defined the late drama.The game tipped off with Warriors fire: A 10-0 run fueled by Jimmy Butler III's early buckets set the tone, but Jokić (32 PTS, 12 REB, 10 AST) orchestrated a 10-0 Nuggets response to knot it at 10. Denver seized a 31-27 Q1 lead behind Aaron Gordon's hot hand (22 PTS), never trailing by more than six in a back-and-forth second half. Golden State clawed back from a 70-61 halftime deficit, with Curry (28 PTS, 6 AST) erupting for 14 in the third, but Jamal Murray's (26 PTS) clutch three with 1:12 left – his fifth of the night – iced it at 114-110 after a Warriors turnover.Notable: No major injuries reported, though Draymond Green's technical foul in Q4 sparked a 8-0 Warriors spurt. Denver's bench outscored GSW's 42-35, showcasing new addition Cameron Johnson's spacing (15 PTS off the pine). For Warriors, the loss exposes rotation questions post their 119-109 opener vs. Lakers, dropping them to 1-1 in the West.
