<p>Despite the best efforts of Aaron Gordon, the Golden State Warriors are 2-0. Thanks to the best efforts of Stephen Curry.</p>
<p>Behind 40 points from their former MVP, the Warriors survived a historic 50-point night from Gordon in a 137-129 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. It was a night with all the intensity of a late-round playoff game, no more so when Curry pulled up for a game-tying 3-pointer with 21.9 seconds left.</p>

<p>Curry again led the Warriors to the win in overtime. During one stretch between the end of the fourth quarter and the start of OT, he scored 16 consecutive points for the Warriors.</p>
<p>It was the kind of the game that should leave the Nuggets' stars wondering what they could have possibly done better, at least on offense. Gordon scored his 50 points on a wildly efficient 17-of-21 shooting and went 10-of-11 from deep. It was a career high in scoring for him, the most points scored by a Nugget in a season opener and the most efficient 50-point night in NBA history by true shooting percentage (105.8).</p>
<p>He made what could have been the game-winning 3-pointer, had Curry not immediately responded with his own heroics. Even though the Nuggets lost, the idea of Gordon suddenly becoming a legitimate threat from the perimeter adds a dimension to their lineup that could be terrifying down the line.</p>
<p>Aaron Gordon has come a loooooooong way as a shooter. This type of performance was unheard of him from just two years ago and would have seemed delusional when he was shooting 42% from the line in college. Hard work pays off… pic.twitter.com/BE7UR6wyH5</p>

<p>Nikola Jokić also posted a triple-double with 23 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, while Jamal Murray had 25 points and 10 assists.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for them, they ran into Curry on what might as well be described as "one of those nights." Six other Warriors scored in double figures, including Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. By the end of overtime, Denver basically seemed to give up judging from how they picked up Curry in transition.</p>
<p>That didn't stop Curry from hitting them with the "Night, night."</p>

<p>Between a thriller against the Nuggets and convincing win over the Los Angeles Lakers, it's been a fairly ideal start to the season for Golden State. Next up on Friday: the Portland Trail Blazers, who are reeling from the arrest of head coach Chauncey Billups earlier Thursday.</p>
