Downing-Imagn Images | Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn ImagesThis has truly been a bizarre season for the Nuggets, feeling in many ways like one long series of unfortunate events. Maybe the weirdest part has been their usually reliable clutch offense, which has let them down this season. Somehow, the team is just 14-15 in clutch games (games that are within 5 points at any time under 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter) and just 6-13 in games with Nikola Jokic in the lineup.
