My people, gather here as we dey follow the NBA action wey don scatter ground for February 22, 2026. Dis game no be small matter, as Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors don bring hot gist wey dey make everybody dey talk.
Nuggets just land from one serious win for Portland wey dem carry 157-103, but as dem reach Golden State, wahala dey wait. Na the Warriors wey dey struggle as dem don lose their last match to another team, but dis time, na different story wey dem come talk. Jeff no go give dem a chance to breathe!
As dem enter Chase Center, Nuggets dey sit on top the Western Conference, but dem still get their challenges. No bi only that, dem no get Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson wey dey sidelined because of hamstring injury. Jamal Murray dey questionable, so e fit show face or e fit no show, na risk wey dem dey take for dis game.
On the other side, Warriors still dey shake as dem no fit grab Stephen Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, and Draymond Green too. Na why dem dey rely on younger players and lower bench guys wey dey try hustle for the court.
As dem begin match, na wahala ensue. Nuggets lead for the first half but as dem reach fourth quarter, the whole thing turn upside down! Golden State put am for overdrive, turn am into serious scoring spree with Moses Moody leading the way. E get 23 points, four three-pointers, and show say no be only star players fit carry team! Talk am!
Denver manage lead at some point, but dem allow Warriors fly back as dem miss shots wey suppose enter. E be like say dem forget how to shoot basket for fourth quarter. Denver go end the game wey dem supposed win for 128-117 loss, even as Jokic dey drop fine fine stats – 35 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists but e no fit carry dem to the promised land. Omo, na bad finish!
As per betting talk, Denver sabi be 7.5 point favorite before dem step on court, but after dis kain performance, wetin we go talk? Over/under line na 227.5 points and e look like say dem no go fit meet that one. Dis season, things dey change quickly and teams dey find am hard to hold their ground.
Nuggets fans dey vex as e be like say dem dey drop important matches wey fit affect their playoff seed. Na so dem wan dey fight for the third or the sixth seed for Western Conference. If dem wan make am easy, dem need to step up their game sharply!
Bros, with three tough matches dey wait for dem next, we fit just dey watch how Nuggets go respond. I dey tell you, dem no suppose let game like dis slip away. But as Naija people go talk, ‘No wahala, Naija dey with dem!’ Make dem no give up!
