Monday evening went very well for the Denver Nuggets. The team played host to the Golden State Warriors in what many (including Las Vegas) believed would be a walk-over win for the best team in the NBA. However, Nikola Jokic, Juancho Hernangomez, Will Barton and others had a different idea.
Jokic produced 17 points, 21 rebounds and 12 assists to further cement his status as a rising star in the league, Hernangomez added 27 points and 10 rebounds for the best game of his young career and Barton put up 24 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in leading Denver to a lopsided 132-110 win over the Warriors. With that said, everyone in the Pepsi Center enjoyed themselves on Monday but not even members of the team could claim the level of enjoyment of this fan.

After securing a pair of Lady Gaga concert tickets, the fan seemed genuinely blown away with excitement. Given that his favorite team was playing lights-out basketball, the young man was probably in a tremendous mood already but, with haste, he channeled his bliss into a perfectly timed shot at that night’s opponent.
As you’ll hear, the fan lobbed a grenade in the form of a reminder that the “Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.” While that is not exactly a new approach in the sporting culture given the way the last several months have played out, the timing and delivery were excellent and this was an example of a great time to shoot your shot on the grand stage.
