Nikola Jokic's intriguing Nuggets takeaway after close win vs. Warriors
Posted on December 04, 2024
It wasn't always pretty for the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, but they came from behind in the fourth quarter to pick up a massive 119-115 win over the Golden State Warriors in NBA Cup play.
This game didn't have any impact on the group standings in the NBA Cup — the Warriors had already clinched the group while the Nuggets were eliminated — but all games are crucial in a crowded Western Conference. This was the fifth loss in a row for the Warriors and it was a big win for the Nuggets over one of their biggest rivals in the West.
This game was somewhat of a microcosm of the Nuggets' season so far. The bench was bad, leading Michael Malone to yank them early during both of their stints in the game. Jamal Murray was up-and-down throughout the night, but made some big plays down the stretch. Nikola Jokic was Nikola Jokic again despite lacking energy and effort for much of the game.
All of that volatility has led to some great wins and some very puzzling losses for this Nuggets team so far this season. Jokic summed that up after this game with an honest admission about the team according to DNVR Nuggets.
