The Nuggets overcame awful free-throw shooting, even worse 3-point shooting and somehow managed to take down the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Sunday night. Despite missing numerous clutch free throws and going cold from beyond the arc, the Nuggets improved to 3-0 with their riveting 100-98 win over the Warriors at the Pepsi Center. And they have their vastly improved defense to thank. Up 100-98 with just seconds left, Warriors guard Steph Curry drove and found center Damian Jones in the post, but Jones was stuffed at the rim by Juan Hernangomez at the buzzer.
