RECAP | BOX SCORE | GAME FLOW

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) _ Antonio McDyess scored 25 points and grabbed 17 rebounds for his sixth consecutive double-double as the Denver Nuggets defeated the Golden State Warriors 111-100 Thursday night for their first win in Oakland in nearly six years.

Voshon Lenard added 23 points for the Nuggets, who hadn't won in Oakland since April 22, 1995. Denver has won seven of its last nine.

Antawn Jamison had 26 points and 11 rebounds and Marc Jackson, who was named NBA Rookie of the Month for December on Wednesday, added 22 points and 12 rebounds as the Warriors failed in their bid to record a three-game winning streak for the first time since last February.

George McCloud and Raef LaFrentz each had 13 points for the Nuggets.

Mookie Blaylock had 13 points and 10 assists and Larry Hughes added 17 points for the Warriors.

Robert Pack scored the first two baskets of the final quarter to give the Nuggets a lead they never relinquished. Meanwhile, the Warriors were limited to eight points in the first eight minutes of the fourth quarter.

Denver came out of halftime playing with more energy than the Warriors and immediately took a 69-58 lead on McDyess' slam just over four minutes into the third quarter, forcing Golden State to call a timeout and regroup.

Jamison went into the huddle shaking his head. He came out and scored 11 points over the next six minutes to ignite a Warriors' rally that gave them an 86-85 heading into the final quarter.

The Warriors pulled to 51-50 with 4:32 left in the second quarter following a 3-pointer from Mookie Blaylock, but then McDyess took over the rest of the half, scoring on two slam dunks and a layup in the next 1:20 to help the Nuggets take a 60-54 lead at halftime.

Bob Sura gave Golden State a 33-32 lead when he hit a lay-up as time expired at the end of the first quarter.

Nuggets' second-year pro Keon Clark scored nine points and went over the 1,000-point mark for his career. ... Denver improved to 5-0 when getting two or more days of rest. ... McDyess recorded his 15th double-double in the last 17 games.
