Recap: Nuggets cast off early struggles, rally for win over Magic
Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports Well, whatever Coach Malone said at halftime worked.
The Nuggets were able to rally from a halftime deficit for a 91-87 win against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, outscoring the Magic by 11 points in the third quarter to power their comeback.
Nikola Jokic had 20 points on 14 field goal attempts, while Jamal Murray joined him in the 20-point club with 22 on 15 attempts, with the two franchise players getting their team back in the win column. Nikola Vucevic had 24 points, and Aaron Gordon had 21, but they weren’t able to get enough help from their teammates in the second half as the Nuggets improved to 4-2 on the season.
