The Denver Nuggets continued their winnings ways, defeating the Orlando Magic 112-87 at Pepsi Center Friday Night.
Denver earned their second straight victory in convincing fashion, pulling away with a 17-6 run the last 4:32 of the second quarter to take a 13-point lead into the half and all but coasted the rest of the way.
The Nuggets (12-7) did it with defense, limiting the Magic to just 68 points through three quarters and a balanced offensive attack, which produced five double-figure scorers. Fourth-year Denver forward Trey Lyles led the way with a season-high 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting, eclipsing his previous 2018-19 best of 17.
