WESTERN CONFERENCE:

At Denver:

Stephen Curry scored 22 points while Andrew Bogut added 14 while grabbing 21 rebounds as the Golden State Warriors nearly blew an 18-point fourth-quarter lead but held on for a series-clinching 92-88 home win over the Denver Nuggets in game six of their first-round series.  The Warriors, who wrapped up the series in six games, will next face the San Antonio Spurs as that conference semifinal series opens in San Antonio on Monday.
