On Friday night, the Golden State Warriors visited the Denver Nuggets. They were playing without Steph Curry, and, as a result, they lost 129-104. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t fun, and it wasn’t particularly interesting.
But it’s always interesting to see how fans felt about the action as it unfolded. So here’s a look at the fan reactions in real time, as seen through the Golden State of Mind game thread.
First quarter: ‘A colossal first half beatdown’
It was not a good start to the game. The Warriors were quickly down double-digits, and trailed 32-21 after the first quarter.
Second quarter: ‘Just jackin threes’
The second quarter started great, and then the Warriors promptly fell apart again, as the Nuggets took it to them. It was a 66-49 deficit at halftime.
Third quarter: ‘JK going back to earth’
There was better energy in the third quarter, but not better results. They trailed by a game-high 22 points going into the final fram.
Fourth quarter: ‘That was ugly’
Steve Kerr waved the white flag early in the fourth, as the Nuggets coasted to a blowout win.
