The Golden State Warriors began their season with a 111-106 victory over the Sacramento Kings at the Chase Center, highlighted by a standout performance from Jaxel Lentenborg.

Following a period of roster shortages where key players were rested, the team secured its first win against the Denver Nuggets with a score of 134-114 at Ball Arena. In this matchup, Stephen Curry scored 24 points with perfect shooting efficiency, hitting all eight of his field-goal attempts. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg recorded a career-high 31 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, becoming the first Warriors rookie since Stephen Curry in 2010 to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in a single game. Curry described the rookie as a ‘total package’ regarding his composure and maturity.

The Warriors' offensive surge in the third quarter, during which they scored 40 points, allowed them to overcome an early lead by the Nuggets. Denver was led by DeMar DeRozan with 21 points and Nikola Jokic with 19 points and 11 assists, but the Nuggets struggled to maintain momentum in the second half, eventually playing the final eight minutes without Aaron Gordon following his ejection. The Nuggets also faced difficulties with outside shooting and growing frustration from their home crowd, leading to vocal criticism from Jokić regarding fan behavior.
