The Nuggets completely embarrassed themselves in front of a big crowd Sunday night, losing 115-90 against the Pelicans.
The game started off well for Nikola Jokic, who scored the Nuggets first six points and had an assist to Gary Harris following his buckets. Harris’s bucket sparked an 11-4 run for the Nuggets, and the Nuggets eventually worked the lead to nine points after a Gallinari three.
From that point on, the Pelicans went on a run of their own, out-scoring the Nuggets 14-2 to end the quarter. The Nuggets stopped attacking the rim, settling for long jumpshots (and missing) which allowed the Pelicans to claim the lead after the first 12 minutes, 29-26.
