No Jokic, no problem as Gordon, Nuggets stun Warriors
LOS ANGELES, United States: Aaron Gordon scored 38 points as the Denver Nuggets shrugged off the absence of Nikola Jokic to halt the Golden State Warriors’ seven-game winning streak with a 114-105 victory over their NBA Western Conference rivals on Monday. A dazzling display from Gordon inspired what was ultimately a comfortable win for Denver, who were missing regular starters Jokic and Jamal Murray from their line-up. The absentees were barely felt by Denver though, who startled the Warriors early at San Francisco’s Chase Center and led for most of the game. The Warriors threatened to stage a late rally after slashing the Nuggets’ fourth-quarter lead from 15 points to three points, but Denver pulled away in the closing stages to secure a deserved win. Gordon finished with 38 points, six rebounds and three assists while Michael Porter Jr. provided offensive support with 21 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. The Warriors were always chasing the game after failing to threaten from long range, making just eight of 33 three-point attempts.

Son must forget Spurs woes, says South Korea coach
SEOUL: Son Heung-min must forget his troubles with struggling Tottenham as South Korea look to clinch a place at next year’s World Cup, his national team coach said Monday. Son came off the bench at half time to rescue a point for Spurs with a late penalty in a 2-2 home draw with Bournemouth on Sunday. But the 32-year-old forward has enjoyed less playing time this season and scored just seven Premier League goals as the London club languish in the bottom half of the table. South Korea can qualify for their 11th straight World Cup if they beat both Oman and Jordan in home qualifiers this month. Hong Myung-bo named Son in his squad and said the national team was “a completely different setting” for his captain. Hong insisted that Son’s attempts to help Spurs win their first trophy in 17 years would not affect his performances for his country. “I don’t want to link the trophy drought with the national team,” the coach said. “Of course we want Son Heung-min to do well at his club and for him to carry that form into the national team. “I believe he will continue to do well moving forward,” he added. Son has struggled with injuries this season and completed 90 minutes just five times since the turn of the year. Hong said there were no guarantees that Son would start as South Korea face Oman on March 20 and Jordan five days later. “There are many discussions regarding his recent form, including his goal tally,” he said. “However, we must not forget everything he has accomplished so far.
NBA hotshot Stephen Curry reaches 25,000 career points as Warriors crush Pistons
SAN FRANCISCO: Stephen Curry became the 26th player in NBA history to score 25,000 career points, reaching the milestone during the third quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ 115-110 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. “BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!” Curry yelled while running back through the hallway to the locker room following a quick return to the court postgame. And that was actually a tribute to teammate Draymond Green, who loves to yell “boom” after making a 3-pointer and hit the go-ahead 3 with 35 seconds left. Green secured the game ball for Curry — but Curry said Green would keep it. “He’s going to keep it for me. I heard he has a little bit of KD’s memorabilia,” Curry said in reference to former teammate Kevin Durant. Curry, who turns 37 next Friday, surpassed 25,000 with a 3-pointer at the 8:32 mark of the third quarter then received a warm ovation when recognized during a timeout with 5:42 to go. He finished with 32 points — pushing his total to 25,017 — on 8-for-22 shooting and converted all 12 of his free throws. Curry wasn’t keeping track of his totals. “It was a surprise actually.
