If you were watching tonight’s game between the Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets looking for a shootout between Kyrie Irving and Jamal Murray, unfortunately you came to the wrong place. If you were looking for the Denver Nuggets to kick their offense back into high gear and spread Nikola Jokic’s wings and fly to an easy victory, you also came to the wrong place - sort of.
The Nuggets pulled out a 101-93 victory not on the back of Jokic-ball, but on a bench unit that showed up defensively for its best stretch of the season.
