DENVER — \u2014 Nikola Jokic<\/a> scored 26 points, Jamal Murray<\/a> added 23 and the Denver Nuggets<\/a> improved to 5-0 at home Friday night with a 129-104 rout of the Golden State Warriors<\/a>, who were without Stephen Curry<\/a> again.<\/p>\n

Jokic, who sat out the entire fourth quarter, finished one rebound and one assist shy of his sixth triple-double of the season.<\/p>\n

The Nuggets have won six of seven since their opening-night loss to the Warriors, including three wins to start their four-game homestand that concludes Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Curry, whose late flurry in the season opener led the Warriors to a 137-131 overtime win against Denver, missed his second straight game with an illness. Draymond Green<\/a> (ribs) and Jimmy Butler (back) returned to the Warriors\u2019 lineup after also missing the team’s 121-116 loss to Sacramento<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Green scored 17 at Denver and Butler had 16 as the Warriors lost their fifth straight road game.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteph\u2019s good, feeling a little better today,\u201d Golden State coach Steve Kerr said before tipoff. Kerr said he has only exchanged texts with Curry, whom he hopes can return Sunday night against the Pacers.<\/p>\n

The Nuggets have been much better this season in their non-Jokic minutes but the Warriors used an 11-0 run in the second quarter when Jokic went to the bench to pull to within 32-31.<\/p>\n

Murray sank back-to-back 3s coming out of the timeout and Jonas Valanciunas<\/a> added another to spark Denver’s 34-18 run to end the half with a 66-49 lead. <\/p>\n

The Nuggets pushed their lead to 99-77 after three quarters and Jokic watched the rest of the game from the bench.<\/p>\n

The win allowed the Nuggets to stay alive in West Group C after losing their first game in the round-robin portion of the NBA Cup at Portland on Oct. 31. This was the Warriors’ first NBA Cup game.<\/p>\n
