Through their first eight games of the season, the Nuggets have held a lead for an absurd 86.8% of the time. That’s the second most by any team through the first eight games in the last 20 seasons. Denver has dominated at home, nearly leading for every second, and their two losses have been a last-second fall in Portland and an overtime letdown in Golden State.
But for every single minute of the season, the Nuggets have been, at worst, in the game, generally leading, and often times completely blowing their opponents out of the water.
