Another powerful triple-double, but Denver loses in the final seconds after blowing a +17 lead (VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>With such a porous defense, an unserious approach, and an inadequate coach, Denver will hardly achieve anything more in the playoffs this year. That is the impression after the lost game in Orlando, in which the Nuggets had a 17-point lead in the third quarter, only to be defeated in a photo finish \u2013 127:126!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is useless to have the dominant best basketball player in the world, Nikola Joki\u0107, on your team when there is a draft blowing through the defense and only one player (Spencer Davis) plays \u201cbone to bone\u201d and breathes down the opponent\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Criticism also goes toward Nikola Joki\u0107, who after the Christmas spectacle and numerous records against Minnesota, despite another great offensive performance \u2013 34 points (11-of-22 shooting, 12-of-13 free throws), 21 rebounds, 12 assists (180th triple-double of his career!) \u2013 in the other phase of the game at times looked completely lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, he allowed the until-then completely out-of-form Banchero, who was shooting free throws 0-for-4, to lay the ball into the basket several times with ease, without Joki\u0107 even attempting to foul him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special story is the head coach of the Colorado team, David Adelman, who calmly watched as Orlando like a fury devoured their big lead and did not think to respond to a 21\u20136 run with at least a timeout. Far too nonchalant, inexperienced, and disastrously unserious. It seems Adelman is not an authority for the team, especially with Joki\u0107 on the floor, which will bring Denver nothing good when playoff time and the battles for the much-desired title arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuggets brought Denver back into the game, allowed them to gain momentum, which, along with catastrophic referee decisions, contributed to them losing their first game (out of 7) on the Eastern road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nikola Jokic 34 Pts 21 Reb 12 Ast  Denver Nuggets vs Orlando Magic  HIGHLIGHTS\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1PGiPB7w2Ro?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the visitors\u2019 team, Murray was solid (24 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists) and also missed the game-winning shot in the final second, while solid performances were delivered by Hardaway (20), Watson (15), Jones (14), and Strawther (13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nuggets-Magic go down to the wire \ud83c\udf7f Orlando spoils Jokic&#039;s 34-PT triple-double | NBA on ESPN\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PrQ2kFKYjyc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the winning team, which like Denver was weakened by injuries to several starters, the young Black shone with a career-high performance (38 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists), with the greatest support coming from Bane with 24 points (6 assists), Carter (18 points, 7 rebounds), and German Da Silva (17 points, 5 rebounds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuggets will remain in third place in the West with a record of 22\u20139, while Orlando is fourth in the East at 18\u201314.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuggets\u2019 next game on the tour is in Miami on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/it-is-time-to-fulfill-the-promise-he-held-the-seriously-ill-milica-vucic-in-his-arms-12-years-ago-and-today-she-is-protesting-in-front-of-the-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cIT IS TIME TO FULFILL THE PROMISE\u201d: He held the seriously ill Milica Vu\u010di\u0107 in his arms 12 years ago, and today she is protesting in front of the Government!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/who-took-the-weapons-out-of-serbia-zastava-revolvers-with-ministry-of-interior-markings-are-being-sold-on-the-american-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">WHO TOOK THE WEAPONS OUT OF SERBIA?: Zastava revolvers with Ministry of Interior markings are being sold on the American market!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/nis-received-a-new-american-license-negotiations-on-the-russian-share-are-allowed-but-not-business-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">NIS RECEIVED A NEW AMERICAN LICENSE: Negotiations on the Russian share are allowed, but not business operations!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/a-million-dollars-for-the-most-vulnerable-the-ana-and-vlade-divac-foundation-achieved-its-humane-goal-they-helped-more-than-10000-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE: The Ana and Vlade Divac Foundation achieved its humane goal, they helped more than 10,000 people!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/hilarious-comedy-arrives-in-america-montenegrin-in-bed-is-my-life-story-that-is-why-the-play-is-so-funny-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HILARIOUS COMEDY ARRIVES IN AMERICA!: \u201cMontenegrin in bed\u201d is my life story, that is why the play is so funny!
