Nice bounce back game. Off to bed

Good challenge. Even though Jokic looked like he was shooting, there was no way he was trying a 35 ft runner.

Phoenix Suns this year....win the season series to the Nuggets, lose the one to the Spurs.

Booker just clanking like crazy. Hard to believe we might actually win this one.

Entirely too easy

16 turnovers again, always good to get a win on the road on national TV but the turnovers are going to bury this team in the playoffs/play in if they don't clean it up

Maybe not speak soon. If they get the ball and hit a 3 it's down to 6.

Mike Malone making this game super boring for the last minute lol.

No Nurk (aka Jokic DOMINATOR), cruddy game from Book, on the road, far too many TO's (again) and we beat team that is the favourites to go to the Finals from the West.

Should've been 5 straight but I'll take this W with pleasure

Nice win. Good team effort + KD.

7th seed now.

I’ll take a Denver win + Spurs loss over the reverse. Just love the matchup vs Denver this year, and hopefully this win gets some confidence / momentum to win enough games to close the year. I honestly thought the season was over after the last game especially since Nurks injury seemed to be more serious.

What a difference a couple days makes...hopefully they can keep it up, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

Good win, though, and I watched. Didn't think I would, but damn if I didn't see some good things tonight.

The season has been over even before the season began for some. Then with every bad loss or string of L's, others declare the season over.

Far as I'm concerned, we're still in the playoff race and if we're still in it, then we still have an opportunity to do great things in the playoffs.

I seriously can’t gauge this Suns team. Last game vs the Spurs was the most frustrated I’ve been watching the Suns in recent years, but one big reason I’ve stayed optimistic is because there is no one in the West that is really dominating. I can see the Suns losing in a first round, I can also see any team in the West 1-10 (maybe not Kings) coming out the West. No one looks dominate imo. We just have to get in. I like our chances against anyone.

Maybe it's a good thing Suns are not favored in remaining games so that they show up.

Won't get too excited until they show consistency. Nuggets were missing Suns killer though Suns missing Nurk and Book/Beal playing an average game compensates for that.

Good for the suns finding a way to capitalize and win this game against the worn out Murryless Nuggets. The frustration is that this team is just so competitively bipolar! The one thing that we can count on is for the to consistently be inconsistent. Next they play the Thunder, likely without Shai, and the Pels without Ingram. We really can't catch anymore breaks than what we are currently in this stretch and not capoitalize. I just hope that they can just find some motivation and a sense of urgency for more than just every other game. And show some modicum of urgency in these last 9 games.

I still don't buy this fools gold hot and cold effort from this team. But hopefully they can prove me wrong and show they actually do belong in the contenders tier if they can only sustain their effort for more than a game or two. :-?

Good win, now on to the next one.
