The Warriors went on a 24-1 run in a riveting third quarter Monday and beat the Nuggets 122-114. And leading the way were their small forwards, both the former starter and his replacement.

Mickael Pietrus got the start instead of Mike Dunleavy, but both players played key minutes down the stretch, combining for 19 points, six rebounds and three assists in the third period as the Warriors turned a sizeable deficit into a double-digit lead.
