"A fireworks show" produced by the Golden State Warriors

[John Kelly]

That's what Golden State head coach Steve Kerr called the first-quarter performance by his team last night in Denver.

The Warriors scored an NBA-record 51 points in a 142-111 victory over the Nuggets.

Golden State shot 19-for-25 from the field (76 percent) and finished 10-of-14 from beyond the arc (71.4 percent) in the first quarter.

The Warriors closed a 2-point favorite over the Nuggets with a total of 228.5.

Last season, EOG contributor RAYCABINO called the Golden State Warriors the greatest NBA team of all-time.

I’m surprised 51 is the record. NBA is a joke. No defense and dominated by 3’s.

The Warriors have been in the 40s so many times, I'm shocked they (and others) have never gotten beyond 51.

I agree with R.C. the warriors best ever.

Steph hit ten 3s last night. The rest of the team? A combined 1 for 20 beyond the arc. They could've used Klay last night.

My first look at the NBA card this season is to always fade Golden State and Houston.

So far, so good.

The Warriors are 23-27-1 against the spread while the Rockets are 23-26-1 ATS.

Those teams are overpriced nightly and there's no need to bet early in the betting cycle.
