Nuggets rout Warriors
Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points, Chauncey Billups had 22 and the Denver Nuggets used their biggest scoring first half of the season to pull away from the short-handed Golden State Warriors for a 135-107 victory Tuesday night.
Nene, who had 18 points, and Chris Andersen, who had 14 points, were among seven Denver players who scored in double figures, helping the Nuggets finish with a season high in points and rebound emphatically from Sunday’s embarrassing loss to Minnesota.
The Timberwolves had snapped their 15-game losing streak at Denver’s expense while putting an end to the Nuggets’ 17-game home-winning streak.
Anthony Morrow’s 27 points led the Warriors. Vladimir Radmanovic added a season-high 17 for the Warriors, who fell to 2-8 on the road.
