Denver Nuggets News

This is such a weirdly officiated game 😅 it's clearly really pissing off the Nuggets

Cade Cunningham's last 5 games: 25 PTS, 10 AST 46 PTS, 11 AST 26 PTS, 11 AST 34 PTS, 10 AST 31 PTS, 10 AST He's the 5th player this century with 5 straight 25+ PT, 10+ AST games, joining Russell Westbrook, Trae Young, Luka Dončić, and Nikola Jokić 🤩

This is how well it's going for the Lakers:

To those folks that insist travels are never called, you're just missing them! That said, this call on Luka's spin in the post confounds me. He establishes his right foot as the pivot. It cannot lift off the floor before Luka releases the ball into a dribble. It's obscured for a

The Lakers have a ton of assists from post ups tonight. Perhaps since they're so rare these days, the Jazz just aren't used to defending them. It might help if Nurkic actually doubled to decrease LeBron's vision, and George is lost as his man does a simple cut behind him

LeBron back to back assists for a double double... just having fun out here with the nice lefty no look shovel

Great ball movement: what is it?

Believe it or not, the Jazz foul that was called was challenged. And it was overturned, with a foul being awarded to Luka..?? I suppose after the clean steal by Kyle, they felt Luka tripped him

Luka is the pinball tonight, which happens when the other team is intent on stopping him. He's okay.

So the Jazz won't win a ton of games, not incentivized to do so, and while they make a lot of mistakes, they're entertaining, with a fun offense. If you want to ensure a high draft pick, this is how to do it.

Luka might have a word with Reaves, telling him not to throw him lobs. He's okay, but the left knee got lateral contact

LeBron finding ways to create buckets for teammates. Let's just say doubling LeBron when your man is standing under the basket is an unwise choice

Normally, foot to foot contact like this is a simple defensive foul. Even though defender's foot was "there" first, if he causes the offensive player to trip, it's a defensive foul. Refs opt to play on 🤷‍♂️

LeBron looks light on his feet to track the errant pass down, but doesn't get great lift on his first 3pt attempt

Who says refs don't call travels? Luka in open court: left foot gather step when dribble ends, right foot plans and becomes pivot, he then lifts it and puts it back down before shooting. Great call by Kennedy 👌

Just when teams think they know how to defend the low post split, Curry cuts back door and to weakside corner, Butler is up next to run the split, and HE cuts backdoor. Bane should know better to help 1 pass away off Curry in the corner

Really cool wrinkle to the Warriors bread and butter low post split. It sets up with Horford in the post, but then he dribbles out to wing, feeds Draymond who replaces him just as Al is setting the split screen. Steph, of course, does the rest 👌🏀

Wasn't sure Jimmy still had this in him

Chicago vs. Denver did not disappoint tonight: ⚔️ Cam Johnson brings DEN within 1 ⚔️ Josh Giddey puts CHI up 3 ⚔️ Nikola Jokić gives DEN the lead ⚔️ Nikola Vučević puts CHI up 4 ⚔️ Kevin Huerter ices it Bulls secure the road victory!

🏀 MONDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏀 Josh Giddey's near triple-double propels the @chicagobulls to victory on the road! Ayo Dosunmu: 21 PTS, 5 AST Kevin Huerter: 20 PTS, 4 3PM Nikola Jokić – 36 PTS | 18 REB | 13 AST Jamal Murray: 34 PTS (18 in Q4), 11 REB, 5 3PM Aaron Gordon: 24 PTS, 10

Final

Nikola Vučević extends Chicago's lead 👏 Bulls lead Nuggets by 4 with 32.8 remaining!

Cam Johnson splash from downtown 👌 An 18-6 run by the Nuggets to bring them within 1!

CAMMM!
