GAME STORY: The Nuggets had so much momentum Friday night, not even another crooked rim could derail them. by msinger
On the second night of a back-to-back, the Nuggets showed impressive resolve and resiliency in burying the visiting Cavaliers, 121-108. Nikola Jokic orchestrated his NBA-leading 10th triple-double of the season, finishing the night with 28 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.
The only thing he didn’t do was fix the recurring rim problem, which cropped up early in the fourth quarter. But given arena workers’ familiarity with the problem, the delay didn’t last nearly as long as it did when the problem first arose against Boston several games ago.Playing without Donovan Mitchell due to rest, the Cavs finished with six guys in double figures and 60 points in the paint. But Denver shot 17 of 35 from the 3-point line and buckled down defensively in the second half.
Jamal Murray scored 18 points while playing in his first back-to-back of the season, and Michael Porter Jr. added 16. Bones Hyland and Bruce Brown spearheaded another strong bench effort to help combat Cleveland’s size.
