SAN FRANCISCO - The Golden State Warriors have already clinched a spot in the NBA Cup quarter-finals, so they are simply looking to get back to their winning ways in their final group game.
Warriors, Nuggets bid to get out of rut in Cup clash

Golden State have dropped four straight National Basketball Association (NBA) games after winning 12 of their first 15 this season.

They are scuffling a bit but are 3-0 in West Group C, with a chance to complete a sweep of the opening round of the in-season tournament when they face the Nuggets in Denver on Dec 3 (Dec 4, Singapore time).

Denver are 1-2 in the group, dropping games at New Orleans Pelicans and at home against the Dallas Mavericks while beating the Memphis Grizzlies on the road.

The Nuggets have been a model of inconsistency since mid-November, alternating wins and losses over their past seven games.
