            === Gallinari helps Nuggets outlast Warriors in 2-OT ===
 
 Oakland,  CA (Sports Network) - Danilo Gallinari started slow, but caught fire
 in the second half and overtime.
 
 Gallinari netted all 21 of his points over the final 34 minutes, including the
 go-ahead  3-pointer  with  35.9  seconds  left  in  double  overtime,  in  the
 Denver Nuggets' 107-101 win over the Golden State Warriors.
 
 Gallinari  went  0-for-9 from the floor  in the opening half, but finished the
 contest 8-of-13 for Denver, which concluded the game on an 11-0 run.
 
 "Tonight  proved that  we can  win when  it gets  tough," Nuggets  guard Corey
 Brewer said. "Four in a row is big for us."
 
 Kenneth Faried tallied 18 points and 17 rebounds in the win.
 
 Klay  Thompson  had 23 points and  Carl Landry added  22 off the bench for the
 Warriors, who have lost three of their last four contests.
 
 "Last  year we  were not good enough talent  wise to win a lot of ball games,"
 Golden  State head coach Mark Jackson. "We're good enough right now and we got
 outworked."
 
 Thompson's triple from the corner gave the home team a 101-96 advantage midway
 through the second extra session, but the Nuggets stormed back.
 
 After Andre Miller split a pair from the foul line, back-to-back 3-pointers by
 Andre Iguodala and Gallinari gave Denver a 103-101 lead.
 
 Thompson  missed a three  at the other end and Iguodala nailed two free throws
 before  Curry's layup  didn't fall on Golden State's next trip down the floor.
 Gallinari  then  hit a pair  from the charity stripe  to account for the final
 margin.
 
 The  Nuggets  jumped out to  a 24-13 advantage after  a quarter of play before
 Golden  State  outscored Denver, 26-16,  in the  second to whittle the deficit
 down to 40-39 heading into the break.
 
 Denver took a 62-59 advantage into the fourth.
 
 The  Warriors  led 76-71 midway  through the  final frame of regulation before
 Denver ripped off eight straight to take a 79-76 edge.
 
 A  bit  later, Faried's layup gave  the visitors an 86-82 margin, but Landry's
 putback and Jarrett Jack's driving layup with 28.8 left in the period sent the
 game into an extra session.
 
 Curry's  pullup  with 47.8 seconds  to go in the  first overtime gave the home
 team  a 94-92 lead,  but Gallinari's driving dunk with 2.1 ticks in the period
 extended the game by another five minutes.
 
                                   Game Notes
 
 Denver  shot 38.1  percent  from  the floor  (43-of-113),  while Golden  State
 finished  38.2 percent from the field (39-of-102) ... The Nuggets outrebounded
 the Warriors, 65-54.
