Nuggets’ comeback attempt falls short as Jazz survive thriller

The Nuggets might have Kyle Korver nightmares Thursday night.

It’s possible Donovan Mitchell makes an appearance as well.

The Utah Jazz duo demoralized the Nuggets’ thrilling fourth-quarter comeback attempt with devastating corner 3-pointers and improbable driving layups, ultimately snapping the Nuggets’ five-game winning streak with a 111-104 victory.

Paul Millsap drained his second 3-pointer of the night to make it 104-101 with 1:14 remaining before Mitchell responded with a clutch jumper to silence the rowdy Pepsi Center crowd.

That it even got that close – the Nuggets were down 17 with 6:02 remaining – was a testament to their resiliency on a night when MVP candidate Nikola Jokic was hardly himself.
