Santo Domingo – Al Horford, the stellar Dominican player, shone with a memorable performance, scoring six three-pointers and accumulating 22 points, leading the Golden State Warriors’ victory over the Denver Nuggets with a final score of 128-117. The match, marked by important absences, was defined thanks to a crucial comeback in the final minutes.
Horford, with 27 minutes on the court, set a new personal record for three-pointers. His performance was complemented by seven assists, three steals, two blocks, and one rebound, demonstrating his significant impact on both sides of the court.
The victory takes on greater importance given that the Warriors faced the game without some of their key figures, including Stephen Curry, who was out due to a knee injury. This forced the team to rely on its depth and experience to compete.
After a third quarter with ups and downs, the Warriors reacted with a 15-0 run in the final stretch of the game, which proved decisive in securing the victory. In this period, the offensive contributions of the second unit stood out, consolidating the comeback against an opponent that had had moments of dominance.
From Denver, Nikola Jokić, from Serbia, offered an outstanding performance with a triple-double, scoring 35 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists. Despite his effort, he couldn’t prevent his team’s defeat in the final moments of the match.
