Stephen Curry scored 24 points without missing a field-goal attempt, including 17 in the third quarter, while rookie Yaxel Lendeborg posted a career-high 31 points and 12 rebounds; Brandin Podziemski added 18 points. Denver’s Nikola Jokic had 19 points and 11 assists, but the Nuggets gave up 74 second-half points, and Aaron Gordon left in the fourth quarter after receiving two technical fouls.
