Nuggets’ brass has been discussing the possibility of playing a Twin Towers lineup featuring both Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas. Still, through two preseason games, it had been no more than a discussion. On Sunday night, David Adelman gave the people what they wanted and paired the two big men together for a couple of minutes in each half.
In the second quarter, when Adelman subbed Jokic back into the game, he left Big Val out there, having the Joker essentially playing power forward. Adelman did the opposite in the third quarter, when he had JV check into the game, but left Jokic on the floor as well.
