DENVER -- Kevin Durant needed just one more basket to keep an impressive scoring streak going and more than 5 minutes to get it.His coach, though, didnt want to risk injury. Not in a blowout. Not in game No. 9 of the season.Like that, another astonishing streak snapped.Stephen Curry scored 33 points Thursday and the Golden State Warriors beat the Denver Nuggets 125-101 on a night Durants string of 72 straight regular-season games with at least 20 points ended.Durant finished with 18 points. He remained tied with Michael Jordan for the fourth-longest streak of 20 or more points in league history.It was cool while it lasted, said Durant, whose streak began on Nov. 23, 2015, while with Oklahoma City. Up there with some great names. But Ive got bigger goals in mind.A week ago, Curry had his league-record streak of 157 games with at least one 3-pointer ended.None of it matters and our guys know that, Warriors coach Steve Kerr explained. Its about winning.Hence, an early end to his night. Durant stayed in the game, trying to get to the magic number of 20, until 5:51 remaining. He was subbed out after being called for an offensive foul.Im not going to mess with the basketball gods. If you want to leave a guy out there to get some kind of record, youre asking for an injury, Kerr explained. The game called for him to come out. He came out. He had no problem with it. I think theres going to be a lot of that stuff this year.Curry tweaked his ankle in a win over Dallas on Wednesday, but it didnt appear to hamper him against the Nuggets. He finished 7 of 13 from 3-point range, including one that he turned into a four-point play. That shot even impressed him as he lay on the ground and celebrated.One of those you dont expect to go in, Curry said. But that was a terrible celebration.So torrid was his touch that Curry even launched one from just inside half-court. He missed it, but the crowd erupted.Honestly, it was a dumb shot, Curry said.Then again, he did have Draymond Green egging him on.Its like the demon-angel on your shoulder -- which one are you going to listen to? Curry said. It wouldve been fun to make it.Rookie Jamal Murray had 14 points for the Nuggets, who are 0-2 at Pepsi Center this season after stressing the importance of regaining a home-court advantage. Fellow rookie Malik Beasley scored his first NBA points on a 3-pointer in the third quarter. He finished with 12 points.If that wasnt enough, the third rookie of the group, Juan Hernangomez, chipped in 11.There were some positives at the end, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. But you tip your hat. We got our (rears) kicked tonight. We have to regroup.TIP-INSWarriors: Golden State went on a 17-2 run in the first quarter and never looked back. ... The Warriors led by as many as 31 points in the third. ... Rookie Damian Jones (right pectoral surgery) is scheduled to join Santa Cruz of the NBA Development League on Nov. 20. ... C Zaza Pachulia played in his 900th career game.Nuggets: Wilson Chandler (left hamstring), Darrell Arthur (left knee) and Will Barton (left ankle) didnt play. ... Denver starts 0-2 at home for the third time in four seasons.PROTESTDenver filed a protest with the NBA over a disputed call in the final second of a 108-107 loss in Memphis on Tuesday. The ball appeared to go off a Grizzlies player with 0.7 seconds remaining, but the ruling on the floor and video review awarded possession to Memphis. Marc Gasol hit the game-winning shot on a tip-in.Best-case scenario would be to replay the last seven-tenths, Malone said.The odds of that happening, though, are slim and none, Malone said.ATHLETE SIGHTINGSThere were quite a few Denver Broncos in attendance, including pass rushers Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, along with receiver Demaryius Thomas and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. The Colorado Avalanche were represented by forward Nathan MacKinnon and defenseman Tyson Barrie.UP NEXTWarriors: Going for their ninth straight win over Phoenix on Sunday.

Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi," Mickelson said. BOULDER, Colo. -- Linebacker Kenneth Olugbode and several of his Colorado teammates spend quite a bit of time on their headsets, barking out commands and watching each others back.Theyre always in perfect step, too. And thats from separate rooms while jointly playing the video game Call of Duty.Their on-the-field chemistry is even more cohesive as the ninth-ranked Buffaloes (10-2, No. 9 CFP) boast an opportunistic defense thats forced 26 turnovers this season.We communicate well and thats why we play well, said Olugbode, whose team will face No. 4 Washington (11-1, No. 5 CFP) on Friday in the Pac-12 championship game.The proof is certainly in the numbers: The Buffs are allowing 323.8 yards of total offense this season. Thats nearly 100 yards fewer than a year ago. Even more, they allowed 27.5 points last season and just 18.8 in 2016. The players chalk it up to growing even more comfortable in Year 2 of defensive coordinator Jim Leavitts system.We werent getting that many turnovers before. But coach Leavitt has been stressing that since hes gotten here, said safety Tedric Thompson, who had two interceptions when the Buffaloes beat Utah last Saturday to clinch the Pac-12 South. Each and every game we try to go in there and create as many turnovers as we can.Colorado currently has a nation-best streak of forcing at least one turnover in 25 straight contests. The key has been relatively simple.Everyone has to do their 1/11th, defensive back Ryan Moeller explained. Once you start worrying and hoping someone else will be there, then you arent paying attention to your own job. We just had faith in everyone and knew where everyone was going to be. We just had to execute.One of the leaders of this defensive unit is do-everything standout Chidobe Awuzie, who was recently voted the teams co-most valuable player along with senior qquarterback Sefo Liufau.dddddddddddd Awuzie has played cornerback, safety and nickel back at times in his career, along with a little bit of outside linebacker.No matter where he lines up, hes a handful, which is why he figures to be a high pick in the NFL draft come April.Every game we approach the same way, (with a) 1-0 attitude like its the Super Bowl, Awuzie recently said.The creed has served the Buffaloes well so far.Now, they face a Washington team with an explosive offense directed by quarterback Jake Browning.We always respect our opponents, give each opponent the same respect every game, pass rusher Jimmie Gilbert said. We are going to work hard to stop Washington.Much like Awuzie, Olugbode always winds up in the middle of the action. He had a 10-yard fumble return for a score against Utah that gave Colorado some much-needed breathing room in the fourth quarter.These days, his arms are covered in little nicks where the helmets of tailbacks have caught him. The scar on his right shin is still there -- a reminder of a scary situation.Last season in a game against Oregon, he was hit in the calf while making a tackle. Olugbode played until the third quarter even though his leg began doubling in size due to swelling.A few hours later, he underwent emergency surgery for acute compartment syndrome, a painful condition where blood flow to a muscle is restricted and results in tissue trauma. He missed two games before returning.I didnt know the magnitude of what it was, until I was told I couldve lost the foot, said Olugbode, whos the teams leading tackler. It was just a minor setback for a major comeback.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' ' |
