Should not be that close, very nail-bitterish. Like what Boogie can bring to the 2nd unit, easy to see him building some confidence/chemistry. Good to see the team can carry Jokic (who had a modest TD), Sabonis was giving him some good battle, foul trouble is not something Joker deals with the best.

Have to say the SAC front office has started to change the look of that team, Sabonis creating a positive vibe with this team. One other thing, to me Bones showed WHY he should have been on the RS team over Mitchell not replacing him. Feels like Mitchell's lockdown defense has been overblown hype. I see Bones as having a big impact on this team soon, if not already

Another relatively (quite) poor shooting night for Jokic..when's the last time he last time he went 0-5 from three with 2 air balls? However, totally unselfish, also. 7 assists in the first half is pretty telling. And, another Triple Double; moving him within 5 of Wilt Chamberlain himself for the all time lead among all centers in NBA History.

Felt like this was a very sloppy, subpar performance (generally) for the Nuggets, little to no cohesion or momentum for most of the game, however, the bench came through massively, with much better +/- figures than the starting 5, while scoring 35 points. Was crucial especially when Jokic got into serious foul trouble.

Watching the game last night, saw BOTH Jamal and MPJ on the bench, ANY word on their returns yet ?

As reported by Tuna, MPJ going to the G-League for scrimmages only, should see him in a couple more weeks
