Patrick McCaw did it to the Nuggets once. And then he did it to them twice.
The Warriors rookie hit an overtime game-winner to lead the Warriors past the Nuggets 129-128. It was part of an 18-point performance on the night.
Five minutes before, McCaw hit a game-tying three-pointer to send the game into overtime.
McCaw was one of five Warriors in double figures -- with Stephen Curry and his 22 points (in 27 minutes) leading the way. He also recorded nine rebounds. Kevin Durant scored 19 points and Klay Thompson added 17.
The Warriors shots 40 percent from beyond the arc and 45 percent for the game. They were out-rebounded 60-52.
The Warriors improved to 3-1 in the preseason (1-1 on the road) with tonight’s win.
Golden State trailed by as many as 15 points in regulation before coming back to force overtime. Golden State outscored Denver 22-7 in the final 5:39 of regulation.
The Warriors went to overtime in the preseason for the first time since 2010 (a 105-102 loss to the Lakers), winning a preseason overtime game for the first time since Oct. 23, 2007 at Seattle (126-122).
After seven days off prior to tonight’s contest, Golden State will complete its only back-to-back set of the preseason tomorrow night in Las Vegas against the LA Lakers.
