The losing streak for the Denver Nuggets has reached five games after a 109-101 loss at home to the Golden State Warriors last night, their second home defeat in as many nights. The Nuggets trailed by just four points at halftime, but Golden State opened the third quarter on a 24-5 run to begin putting the game out of reach. The Warriors shot 52 percent from the field and from the three-point arc while holding the Nuggets to just 44 percent shooting. Arron Afflalo led the Nuggets with 26 points, a season-high for him. Ty Lawson posted a double-double, with 11 points and 10 assists. The loss is the seventh in the last eight games and fifth in the last five at home for the Nuggets, who drop to 15-12 on the season. They’re off tonight before traveling to Indiana to take on the Pacers tomorrow night.
