ADVERTISEMENTSteph Curry scored 33 points as the Golden State Warriors saw off the challenge of the Denver Nuggets
The reigning Western Conference champions had a scare on wednesday week when Curry tweaked his ankle in a win over Dallas.
But he showed no signs of discomfort as he helped his side to a 20-8 lead early in the opening quarter.
Denver rallied in the second quarter and nibbled away at the Warriors lead thanks to a superb performance from twenty-one-year-old Spaniard Juancho Hernangomez.
But there was no stopping Curry on the night.
He shot 7-of-13 from three-point range and his game tally of 33-points and seven-assists helped Golden State take a 99-75 lead heading into the fourth and final quarter.
Curry had done enough and sat out the fourth, but watched on as his team-mates sealed the deal winning through 125-101.
