This game is a golden opportunity for Malone to achieve career-first 10+ winning streak, because next 3 games are at home vs under .500 teams, and we already won last 6 games.

Jokic and Murray was great, and we take 15+ lead on time vs lottery team in 6 games losing streak which played without their 2nd best player...

But instead of routine win in such circumstances we have a *Denver Classic* there, with trying to overturn opponent +9 lead in last 5 minutes! Luckily everything was OK at the end, and we won with Murray clutch winner 2 seconds before the end of the game.

Seven wins in a row - we may not be totally happy with many aspects of the Nuggets' playing, but give them credit, they are winning.

Playing to the level of our competition; one great quarter and just enough in the other quarters to win. It makes me wonder if that isn't why Malone played the starters late in a big win against the Lakers. Was he trying to teach them how to play even when they are ahead? I don't know.

Some mighty nice defense by Harris and kudos to Barton on his defensive effort - Murray too. Our guards in general played some great defense (especially in the first half, and portions of the second half).

Jokic had a nice triple double with 13 FGA. Could it be that more shots makes the game easier?

21 turnovers didn't help win the game - no one person had a big problem - this was a team issue. Morris & Grant were the only players with zero turnovers.

Free Throws Attempted: Grant 7 --- Jokic 6 --- Millsap 2 --- that's all? Attack the basket?
