DUBS DISHING RECORDS
In Sunday’s loss, Warriors rookie Eric Paschall posted a full and complete stat line that included 17 points and seven rebounds while also tying his career-high of six assists. In fact, Paschall’s night marked the third straight game in which a Warrior matched or surpassed their their career-best in assists. The trend started with fellow rookie Jordan Poole on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers when he notched a career-high eight assists. Saturday night was Damion Lee’s turn as he too dished out eight assists against the Phoenix Suns for a new personal best. Despite the down season, the Warriors continue to move the ball, as has been the signature of Head Coach Steve Kerr’s offense since taking the helm.
TEAM LEADERS
DENVER SCOUTING REPORT
Denver was rolling through late January and into early February, going 8-2 from Jan. 24 through Feb. 10. But since then, the Nuggets have slowed slightly and posted a 3-3 record in their six games since. Though tied for second in the Western Conference, Denver’s three losses all came at the hands of other playoff-bound teams in the West. Not one of the highest-scoring teams in the NBA (110.9 ppg), the Nuggets are a meticulous team on offense that takes their time to find their shot as evidenced by their next-to-league-low pace (97.3) but high offensive rating (112.8). They are also among the top third of the league in defensive rating (109.3), making them a tough team to handle. Leading the team on both ends of the floor is center Nikola Jokic (20.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.2 steals). After his 12th triple-double of the season on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors (23 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists), the 25-year-old center moved into sole possession of the 10th most triple-doubles all-time in NBA history with 40. He poses a unique threat against the Warriors at the center position with his size and skillset.
