On Monday night, the Golden State Warriors lost to the Denver Nuggets by a score of 114-105 (at home). Despite the Nuggets being without Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, Russell Westbrook led the way with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists. After the game, Steph Curry was asked about Westbrook when he met with the media. Reporter: You and Russell Westbrook born on the same years, and the two of you played the most on the court tonight. Do you think how difficult as the veterans still and continue impact the game?" Curry: "We have so mutual mutual respect for each other. What we've done in our careers. One thing he said was keep competing, which is really the message of why we still do what we do and why we love playing. You get to have battles against greats like he is. It's kind of easy to get up for those type of games." Curry finished the loss with 20 points, four rebounds, seven assists and three steals while shooting 6/21 from the field and 4/14 from the three-point range in 36 minutes. Via ESPN's Ohm
