Denver Nuggets game summaryThe Denver Nuggets fell flat on both ends, managing just 93 points in a game where nothing clicked.

Jamal Murray also struggled, shooting 6-for-16 from the floor and going just 1-of-8 from three.Nikola Jokic led the team with 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, but even he couldn’t stop the slide. The Nuggets shot just 39.3% overall and a rough 22.2% from beyond the arc. Christian Braun was a bright spot with 19 points, but the bench gave little help as the team got outplayed across the board.
