The Denver Nuggets won their first preseason game of this young season with a nail-biting finish. They conquer the Suns 107-105 as Ish Smith knocked down two mid-range jumpers in the final minute of the game. With Jokic, Murray, Gordon, and KCP out tonight, the reserves shouldered more responsibility and they executed late in the game with great energy to come out with the victory.
Bones (16) and Ish Smith (17) were the high scorers for Denver as Devin Booker led the game in scoring with 20. Denver’s lone starter Michael Porter Jr. struggled tonight, scoring 9 points on 2-11 shooting and multiple turnovers.
