Another tense game and another hard-earned victory for Denver. Given how much the Nuggets have struggled lately, this outcome was not unexpected. Toronto put up a fierce fight in Colorado, although it could also be said that the Nuggets performed below expectations: 121-115!
Nikola Jokić delivered another all-around performance, although in recent games it has been noticeable that he is trying at all costs to involve his teammates and bring them into his “machine.”
In 32 minutes, the Serbian star scored 22 points (9-of-14 shooting), along with 9 assists and 8 rebounds.
The most efficient player for the Nuggets was Murray with 31 points (6 ast, 5 reb), while Hardaway contributed 23 (7-of-10 from three-point range). Gordon added 16, and Bruce Brown had 12.
For the visiting Raptors, coached by Darko Rajaković, the standout performers were Poeltl with 23 points (11 rebounds), Ingram with 19, and Barrett with 18.
After this win, Jokić’s team held onto 5th place in the Western Conference with a 44-28 record, while Toronto is also fifth, but in the Eastern Conference (39-31).
The Nuggets will play their next game on Sunday at home against Portland.
