The Golden State Warriors saw their 11-game win streak come to an end after a depressing home loss to the Nuggets, but rebounded with a big win over the Cavaliers on Christmas Day.

The Warriors played another week without Stephen Curry, and they’ve managed to stay afloat without him, save for a deflating loss against the Nuggets on Saturday.

Curry should be back soon. Draymond Green returned, as did Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green — the Warriors are on the mend, and just beat the Cavaliers in a marquee matchup on Monday,

This week also featured two wins over the Lakers, the continuation of Kevin Durant’s dominance and more development by Jordan Bell.

There’s a lot to like, but also some things to do dislike as we hit the holidays.
