Another game day of the NBA regular season proved to be intense: matches were played across several venues, and the league's leading stars delivered brilliant individual performances. Two matchups took center stage — the Denver Nuggets' road win in the Mexican capital and a dramatic overtime thriller at the Golden State Warriors' home arena, where Stephen Curry put up a prolific performance that helped the Californians extend their winning streak.
Nuggets' Mexican surge and Jokic's dominance
The game day opened with a road contest in Mexico City, where the Denver Nuggets defeated the Indiana Pacers 114-102. The Colorado team launched a powerful 20-6 run in the first quarter and controlled the flow of the game thereafter. The main protagonist for the winners was Nikola Jokic, who dominated the court and recorded another double-double — 19 points and 13 rebounds.
Favorites cruise past opponents
Other title contenders also secured convincing victories. The Oklahoma City Thunder routed the Washington Wizards (114-75) on their home court, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander emerging as the game's top scorer with 30 points. The New York Knicks secured a solid road win over the Cleveland Cavaliers (109-97) thanks to a powerful duo of Jalen Brunson (31 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (29 points and 13 rebounds). Additionally, the San Antonio Spurs crushed the Portland Trail Blazers (125-103), the Phoenix Suns edged out the Houston Rockets in a tight clutch finish (102-99), and the Atlanta Hawks proved stronger than the Brooklyn Nets (124-121).
Dramatic overtime in Golden City
The most dramatic game of the day occurred at the Golden State Warriors' arena, where the hosts faced a grueling overtime battle against the Orlando Magic. Having blown a 16-point lead during regulation, the Californians managed to overpower their opponent in the extra five-minute period, 126-119. Stephen Curry staged a true masterclass, scoring 41 points and becoming the key figure in the game's turning point.
Warriors' record-tying winning streak
This success allowed the Warriors to extend their winning streak to seven games, matching the feat set by the Boston Celtics in the 1950/51 season. Thus, the Californians have written their name into league history, and Curry's prolific performance in overtime became the main headline of the day. A reminder of other scoring records from the day — notably those of Luka Doncic — emphasizes that this current run of games has been defined by the individual brilliance of NBA stars.
