There were plenty of big takeaways from the Nuggets’ opening night loss to the Warriors, so it flew a bit under the radar that Cam Johnson looked out of sorts in his debut with the Nuggets. He played 32 minutes in the overtime loss, but scored just 5 points on 2-8 shooting.
Luckily, he looked much more at home in his first game in Denver on Saturday night, helping the team crush the Suns, 133-111 in Ball Arena. Johnson thrived on both ends and, more importantly, looked comfortable and found his role in the offense.
He finished with 15 points, 4 rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 25 minutes.
