The Denver Nuggets are battling their way through a less than stellar start to the season. What once began with dreams of a title has been marred by inconsistency and lousy defense. Still sitting at .500, the Nuggets are looking to build some momentum as they head out on a lengthy roadtrip. First stop? Phoenix where they’ll play two games against the up and coming Suns.
Phoenix’s start to the season is much more palatable. After missing out on the playoffs last year by the narrowest of margins, the Suns made a strong start to this season and positioned themselves nicely early on.
