OAKLAND, Calif. ? Mengke Bateer, 30 turnovers and a nearly empty arena couldn't deter the Golden State Warriors from their fourth victory of 2002.

Antawn Jamison had 26 points and 12 rebounds as the Warriors snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 110-93 win over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.

The loss was the Nuggets' sixth straight, a season high for Denver.

Golden State rookie Jason Richardson had 23 points as two of the NBA's four teams that still haven't won 20 games played an entertaining, up-tempo game featuring the Denver debut of Mengke, a 6-foot-11 native Mongolian who played for China in the last two Olympics.

Mengke, the second Chinese player to make the NBA, wore No. 27 as he played 14 scoreless minutes and committed five fouls, though he also threw a nice crosscourt outlet pass for his first assist. Earlier in the week, he signed a contract for the rest of the season.

"Some new plays I really don't understand much, but I can get better next game," Mengke said through an interpreter.
