Throughout the course of an NBA regular season, there are going to be some nights where shots aren’t falling and a team just needs a few breaks and defensive stops to secure a victory. For the Denver Nuggets, that was the case Friday night in a 97-95 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The win marked Denver’s second in-a-row, but now the reigning NBA champions come to Ball Arena to truly test the Nuggets. Sunday’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers marks the fourth and final game of the homestand for Denver, who is looking to make a statement on the national stage.
