After starting the season with a win, the Denver Nuggets are looking to accomplish something they haven’t done since the 2011-12 season: start the year 2-0.
Wednesday’s victory against the Los Angeles Clippers provided reasons for optimism and concern going forward. Nikola Jokic led the team in scoring and was second in field goal attempts, showing some aggressiveness finding his own offense. Defensively, the Nuggets put together an excellent performance, holding the Clippers under 100 points despite a fast pace and Boban Marjanovic. Jamal Murray and Paul Millsap had their struggles offensively, but overall, it was a strong start to the season.
