Heading into a highly-anticipated contest on Christmas Day against the defending champion Denver Nuggets, the Golden State Warriors are playing some of their best basketball of the season.
With a pair of victories during a recent back-to-back, the Warriors have stacked up five consecutive wins, matching their season-long win streak of five.
