Two Nuggets' rookies, who could add depth to Denver's bench, performed well in a Thursday night matchup against the Iowa Wolves.

Nikola Jokic scored 39 points and the Denver Nuggets rallied from 23 points down with a big fourth quarter to beat the Atlanta Hawks 134-133.

The Nuggets are this close to being closer to a tier with Oklahoma City. But they’re coming up short in clutch situations.

Denver’s defense hasn’t just been bad since Aaron Gordon joined Christian Braun on the sideline with an injury. It’s been the worst. In the seven games since Gordon strained his right hamstring, Denver’s defensive rating of 126.

Aaron Gordon became a champion and fan favorite for the Denver Nuggets, but he apparently hated playing in the city when he was a member of the Orlando Magic.

Anthony Davis scored a season-high 32 points in his second game back from injury, and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Denver Nuggets 131-121 on Monday night.

The Nuggets take a 3-0 series lead with a commanding victory in L.A. and they've pushed the Lakers to the brink of elimination after a deep run. Jamal Murray scores 17 points in the 1st quarter of Game 3, positioning the Nuggets to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals.

The Denver Nuggets head coach had high praise for one particular name on the Atlanta Hawks.
