While a regulation NBA game lasts for 48 minutes, no player has been more impactful for the Nuggets during first quarters this season than Paul Millsap.
Millsap finished with 18 points against the Brooklyn Nets, but in what has become a trend in Nuggets’ home games, the 34-year-old forward established himself early with an impressive first quarter.
"Paul is playing like he's 21, not 77," Nikola Jokiu0107 said jokingly after the Nuggets’ victory over Brooklyn on Thursday. "He's a beast right now."
Millsap leads the team in scoring during the first quarter when the team plays at Pepsi Center at 7.
