“I never know which team is going to be out there from quarter to quarter.”
That surely doesn’t sound like the comments one might make about a 50-win club, does it? The close calls keep on coming for your Denver Nuggets this season, who have somehow parlayed those narrow margins into their 2018-19 calling card. Tuesday night’s three-point victory tacked onto an improbable stat for the year, giving Denver an 18-4 (.818) record in games decided by five points or less this season. What seems to have coach Malone pulling his stubble out is how many of those victories may not have needed to be that way.
