The Denver Nuggets desperately needed a statement win against the Golden State Warriors tonight, and Nikola Jokic made sure the team finished the night accompli

Steph Curry was held to an inefficient 24 points, and Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 38 as Denver overcame a late 109-98 deficit Tuesday night at Ball Arena for a win over the Warriors.

On the way to their fifth consecutive loss, the Warriors went ice cold in the final minutes against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Golden State's Draymond Green, officially listed as questionable, is more likely doubtful to play Tuesday night in Denver because of left calf soreness, coach Steve Kerr said Monday.

There are some important names on the injury report for both teams. The Warriors have already ruled out Draymond Green due to a calf injury, while the Nuggets have Aaron Gordon listed as probable - also with a calf injury.
