The Denver Nuggets have officially reached the halfway point of the 2019-20 season. With a 29-12 record, Denver sits in second place in the Western Conference and has done well to navigate injuries in recent weeks in order to maintain a high level of play.
While the first quarter of the season was highlighted by the Nuggets’ dominant defense, the second quarter has been a complete 180-degree turn, as the team’s offense has fueled their success while the defense slipped. On the season, Denver owns the eighth-ranked offense and the 10th-ranked defense (per Cleaning the Glass, which excludes garbage time).
