Injuries and a tough slate of games caught up to the Denver Nuggets over the weekend, culminating in back-to-back losses to some of the NBA’s elite.
After a Friday night loss to the Utah Jazz, Denver fell to the Brooklyn Nets Saturday night in the final regular-season game at Ball Arena for the 2020-21 season. Despite 29 points from Nikola Jokiu0107 and 28 points from Michael Porter Jr., Denver didn’t have quite enough against Brooklyn’s high-powered offense, resulting in a 125-119 defeat.
