After beating the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves last weekend, the Denver Nuggets struggled to get through the week on the road. Perhaps it was injury, or perhaps it was short timer’s syndrome with the all star break approaching, but Denver apparently left their defense at home causing them to drop two winnable games.
Overall, they still comfortably hold the 2nd slot in the West so if they refocus and push through to All-Star weekend they will hopefully be able to get the little break they need (minus Jokic and Coach) to finish the season strong.
