MONTERREY, Mexico, Oct. 14 (Ticker) -- Anthony Roberson displayed his
sharpe shooting ability for the fans south of the boarder.
Roberson scored 28 points off the bench and Baron Davis added 18
and seven assists as the Golden State Warriors posted a 121-115
preseason victory over the Denver Nuggets.
It marked the 17th time the NBA has visited Mexico, but it was
the first trip to Monterrey. The last time two clubs brought
their talents across the boarder was when the Utah Jazz defeated
the Dallas Mavericks, 90-85, on October 5, 2003 in Mexico City.
Roberson, who played 16 games with the Memphis Grizzlies last
season, shot 8-of-12, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range for
the Warriors, who outscored Denver by a 41-28 margin in the
second quarter.
Mike Dunleavy scored 14 points and Troy Murphy had 10 and 14
rebounds for Golden State, which shot 47 percent (45-of-96) from
the field and scored 58 points in the paint.
Carmelo Anthony contributed 25 points and seven rebounds while
J.R. Smith and Linas Kleiza added 18 points apiece for the
Nuggets, who shot 42 percent (38-of-89).
Denver forward and Mexico native Eduardo Najera, who started the
game, chipped in three points and four rebounds.
