00:08hands and dipsey they're coming right out
00:17and the iconic adventurous 2025 toyota forerunner it's available now at your front range toyota stores
00:24rough and tumble first half a little bit ragged second night of a back-to-back nuggets by four
00:33now let's check in with scott hastings presented by hca health one because we're going to show you
00:39two examples one in the same play one if you get out in a fast break here's what happened transition
00:44you're going to have different people match up here you got joker with the guard on we'll stop it right
00:49here now all of a sudden support's going to come lafine slides over this is going to open the lane
00:54for a cut payton watch is going to cut now it's all into eubanks what is eubanks going to do if he stays
01:00up cutter gets it if he goes down with the cutter guess what wide open three that's why you want to
01:07get out and transition before the defense can get set up get some movement going and easy baskets will
01:12come your way nuggets made eight of 18 threes they shot 51 defense was not top notch there's a rolling
01:22left-hand layup by murray to open the scoring here in the third quarter i'm chris marlowe that was scott
01:28hastings katie wingy aboard also six seven murray's got 11 points and four assists oh my goodness
01:43when you say that is i mean good or bad
01:5167 61
01:56remark to rosen get to his sweet spot
01:59russell westbrook on the pump three rosen not a fabulous three point shooter yeah i'm not sure
02:06i would run rose to rosen off the three-point line
02:11let's go over to katie first and foremost guys six seven means so so it's the dictionary.com word
02:18of the year but in terms of what the nuggets talked about at halftime i talked to the assistant coach
02:22john beckett the two areas they really wanted to clean up the turnovers and the paint defense he said
02:26we have to be sharper they're definitely feeling the effects of the back-to-back but no excuses
02:31if they limit their turnovers that will also limit the sacramento kings points in the paint so that will
02:35help clean things up there i asked if there was anything that he was particularly pleased with in the first
02:39half and he said well we aren't playing great and they were up by four at halftime guys 42 points in
02:45the paint for sacramento as yokic inside no spencer jones digs it out
02:53long range three that's no good and it's taken down
02:56down by eubanks
03:03westbrook really thinks he can bully camp johnson he banging into him every single time cam is on the
03:08run give to watson watson turn nobody there and he lays it in how about that got a little handcuffed on
03:16the way up on the first side but stayed with it
03:18it's historically been a very good third quarter team
03:26watson's now got 15 so he's been playing well as a starter
03:31westbrook 53 nope cam johnson's got it cam had a very good first half double figures
03:39well the same call they gave joker a little push in the back a while ago eubanks may get away with one
03:51joker stumbles ball goes out of bounds jokic did a lot of work last night
03:56the defense derosen long range no good yokic has it
04:11five point lead
04:15cam around the screen give the yoke on the bounce great pass there's the facilitation
04:21part of cam johnson it should be appreciated
04:24so 9 42 to go third quarter 71 64 denver before we go to break let's head back up to chris dempsey
04:33for the intermountain health sports break chris
04:36thank you chris nuggets still looking good down there early in the third quarter uh one nugget
04:41that's looking good we'll see him later on in the second half is jonas valenciunas
04:44we talked about him early and we talked about him pre-game in terms of a tandem with nikola jokic
04:49we haven't seen that tonight but we've seen a lot of this tonight uh that is a lot of post-up
04:53action uh being able to back people down uh defensively he's been really good all season
04:58long defensively uh but certainly in this game uh they've needed him and he's delivered nuggets
05:04leading early in the third quarter gonna take a quick timeout for everyone
05:08by bet three six five whatever the moment it's never ordinary at bet three six five
05:12and by kaiser permanente a better idea for health care native american night here at ball arenas and
05:23colorful outfits or customs customs i would say that would be their customary
05:30doubly not costumes nope they're native american where we are told to clarify
05:36chris marlowe scott hastings katie winchie zach lavine under pressure and westward
05:44nice in for the rebound yeah that's right did the bunny hop in the pea patch out high
05:53mortgage wants to advance it nobody goes nobody running right now no
06:00biggest lead for the nuggets was nine segment was up by five at one point
06:06eight on the clock
06:13jokic with four got a launch instead dribble dry cam johnson for three
06:19and jokic has it wheels in and he gets the wall he got pushed a little bit too no call
06:29so second time the nuggets have led by nine
06:32just trying to perk up the defense a little bit here
06:37westbrook into the lane
06:40eubanks and eubanks drops it in
06:46drew a eubanks filling in for domas sabonis out with a knee injury
06:52screen and roll camp johnson long range we just missed one in the corner
07:03he's never been a little lazy covered going out comforting and boy league camp johnson's made
07:08three of six threes remember he shot 39 percent as a brooklyn net last year now payton watson's got the rebound
07:16one of the nine points ten rebounds three assists last night in houston
07:22prior to that he had 32 murray around the screen murray
07:27baby
07:29jamal murray looking good and the nuggets extend their lead to 12 that's the largest of the night so far
07:35he's a little upset he's not getting any calls gotta be careful
07:48he's a little bit mad and down goes jokic there he goes
07:52see he's just chested eubanks all around you makes it like it
07:57so got up watch he just put it up he put the body got his hands up so he's not touching
08:01what shot's gonna come up he he he's hounding him he's tired of getting bumped on the other end
08:10see there's a little shove just sell it a little bit one thing i like about eubanks though he's game for
08:14pushing and shoving
08:17four fouls on eubanks jerry's at the line eubanks gets the technical afterwards
08:22a free throw is perfect murray with his 14th point cam has 15. yokic 17 8 and 5. eubanks on the bench
08:37peyton watson with 15. if you joined us late remember the nuggets shorthanded tonight christian brown
08:45aaron gordon julian strada all on the injured list
08:52murray cuts through that cut for watson precious secure
09:00hansy out there murray against the rosen murray trying to get around the rosen falling away
09:08tough shot there this choker right away on that break when he first got it they kind of have double
09:12the double teamed out nuggets are on a 12-2 scoring run until that
09:19sacramento with keegan murray for business
09:26the movement is stuck
09:29on the offense there's a lot of wrestling going on i can tell you about that
09:34jokic being bodied up wow they're letting
09:38a lot and yoki said i got a hit in the head
09:44and he's indicating to david adelman you might want to challenge that and see if that's a flagrant
09:50i don't think you can challenge it
09:53well it's a foul
09:56yeah that's nothing
09:59no yokich at the line
10:00he feels like a guy that hasn't got a whole lot of sleep that's getting a little tired of
10:16everybody being able to beat on him and so he's got kind of said well let me throw my weight around
10:21just a little bit
10:22talk to official at halftime not one that's working the game and say he's tough to prep because he's
10:29always creating contact but a little guy a guard they're always creating contact also and it seems
10:35they get they get a lot of calls
10:39schroeder handling the point
10:42on the screen he goes watson catches up
10:44keegan murray with the defense by camp johnson five to shoot
10:51keegan murray and he nails it boy he's a drop dead shooter
10:56he's unbalanced just gave him a little bit of space not a whole lot
11:03nine point lead for denver
11:06he's had nine turnovers in that first half now payton watson
11:09here comes murray
11:18can you get murray to 14 so far tonight
11:22got it again
11:24i didn't memory being this aggressive as a score but he
11:28coming alive here and coming off a hand injury not watson
11:32puts it up
11:36hardaway is beside himself they're going to take a look at this
11:40that should have been i thought he was in the charge was in the
11:44circle let's see
11:47nope oh i don't know that right heel that's awful close
11:57tough to see if that heel was in or up
12:07here
12:16watson with the deflection
12:23baby watson regarded as an outstanding defensive play
12:27one
12:3417 steel 17 blocks in 15 games now gets trapped
12:38malik monk
12:38that's no good it's on his tippy toes
12:45give it to hardaway jr he could play the trigger
12:48instead to watson
12:50hardaway jr wide open
12:53the shots now coming up short two or three wide open
12:58maybe 174 benver
12:59and it's going to be a foul on jones initially made a good play there
13:05and on the rico shape picks up the foul
13:12look that right there that is you know you make good hustle
13:17shooter knew he made a turtle so he got chase the ball and it is
13:20this collision three four on spencer jones who got the start tonight
13:26good defense there
13:28pitch it out shooter for three
13:31and the kings are lighting it up at the moment
13:33the sacramento kings who did not shoe well
13:38in the first half from three
13:40starting to get it going 81-77
13:4481-77 we play here in the third quarter ball arena 443 to go
13:51cam johnson having a good game he's got 15 his season high is 19
13:57and the better news is that the three ball is starting to fall
14:01david adelman predicted that it would
14:04but he's doing the little things he's our man on the mission brought to you by navy federal credit union
14:12cam johnson there are the numbers and the three ball falling for sacramento here in the third they're
14:18three of six the difference is one of five and four court pressure
14:24by the kings
14:26the jokic up top against the chua he's been the more effective
14:33defender and they come and block the shot
14:37and the late clock
14:39they are collapsing on jokic every time he gets it
14:44sacramento run 10 nothing now
14:49sacramento started two for 16 from three
14:52they're warming up now
14:56jokic
14:58he's trying to get a foul just not getting any calls
15:02there he gets one there we don't need no stinking calls
15:06i'll get it i'll put it up and in
15:08he's he tried to get up on the boards he's trying remember he turned to leave katie talked about the
15:14the other day he's not going to complain the refs he has it
15:17there's the foul he gets an and one opportunity
15:23tried to get one right before that didn't get it
15:25so i don't think that free throw is going to count they've got some blood i think on the hand of jokic
15:40dan sheminski the nuggets head athletic trainer
15:45try to stem the bleeding there
15:51try to get one right before that
15:55jj barea

16:11is averaging 32 and a half
16:1313 rebounds 11 and a half assists
16:17and shooting 52 percent
16:20so he could be a candidate for a third straight western conference player of the week
16:28dabble the floor there
16:39pace is slowed down a little bit
16:41doug strauss our step man hands me a note jokic has a dunk
16:45in eight of the 16 games this year
16:48last year 19 of the 70 games
16:54look at his rankings
16:56leading in rebounds and assists
17:00nobody's ever done that per day
17:03he'll see if the nuggies can get back
17:09going a little bit here
17:11kings have made a nice run
17:15shooter guarded by bruce
17:17basket counts foul
17:25they'll drop d and you let schroeder get by in penetration and then just you meet in the wrong place
17:31well precious to chua his parents were ministers

17:45his sisters are grace and peace
17:55sacramento has trimmed the nuggets lead to
17:57the 12th point lead earlier
18:05biggest lead for the nuggets was 13
18:07hard away
18:10all the shots is hitting front rims right now
18:15this is that loyal david to talk about sacramento playing with energy
18:18and schroeder has tied it up the nuggets have gone dead in the water
18:26the watson i just need a hoop
18:42jokic one-on-one at the moment look at the crowd and jokic moves up that's no good
18:47ruse brown's got it put it up no
18:50sacramento gonna get the lead now
18:52last lead for the kings was at 23 22
19:02corner three in and out
19:13jokic the double comes underneath what a cut by ken johnson and jokic right on the money
19:20he heard the everybody yelling late the pressure was coming
19:28bruce brown knocks it away but commits the foul
19:34nuggets are out of foul so that'll be free throws coming
19:38cam johnson will get a breather 17 points just two off his season high
19:50and he's going to be free throws coming out
20:05lots of chatter tonight scotty
20:09lake monk
20:10now zach levine will come back in you look at this team scotty you think about the talent they have the guys
20:26who can score the basketball the experience they have and you just can't believe they've only won three
20:33of 16 games they were a playoff team a year ago
20:39they're way too talented
20:42and got a bunch of different areas they got three-point shooters they got quickness they got some size they got some
20:48physicality
20:52murray's back in guarded by monk a couple of kentucky guys murray's in the lane yes
20:58boy he's gotten so good with his left hand and off the glass it's beautiful demar murray was 16
21:10no chain defense can they get a little bit of it
21:14shrewd of the three
21:16hits again he's a guy kind of when things get nasty and ugly and and scattered he he's at his peak
21:28last time dimmers had a fast right first lead since 23 22
21:34now yokich and a double off him hardaway lets it rip short yokich another rebound
21:40yokich backing in wedges as well yokich
21:45he's too big for precious precious has some strength some width some girth but not the height
21:51and yokich able to reach over the top
21:54he's too big for 12 and 6. this is some nice second chance points
22:08oh my gosh this guy is red hot
22:11and then it's shrewd
22:13off the bench got 21 tonight murray turns the corner murray in the lane little floater that's good too
22:19more defense optional in this last uh four or five minutes
22:27that gets back on top defense's energy and effort and when you when you're playing a little bit of
22:32the schedule denver they haven't left not a lot in the tank for defense nuggets need to stop
22:40all the way switches out on levine
22:43nuggets double on derozan
22:47and derozan throws it out of bounds
22:49derozan off kilter there a little bump he wanted schruder in the in the corner and he kind of cheated up just a little bit
22:56seven seconds remaining can murray get off a good shot
22:59schruder with 12 in the quarter jamal murray with it pulls the trigger
23:06and that is the end of the third quarter
23:09nuggets have the lead 92-91
23:13you're watching denver nuggets basketball right here on altitude sports and entertainment
23:25that was our refreshing rewind presented by ball corporation all in for the nuggets aluminum all in
23:50nuggets find themselves in a ball game here we start the fourth quarter chris marlowe scott hastings
23:56katie wingy and the tip in is good and the kings
24:01when they trail after three quarters they've lost their last 23 games
24:0630 of the last 31 so the nuggets hope to keep that going if they can
24:12not trailing by much out to brown gonna shoot a high arch three-pointer that's no good
24:19the nuggets with their reserve unit in with murray
24:23dimmer now one and nine in the second half from the three-point line
24:29and that is off monk out of bounds so jamal murray who had a big block in the game last night
24:35off scott on kevin duran
24:43this is as good as it gets
24:46let's go over to katie just a couple quick notes from the huddle there david adelman telling his
24:50guys offensively we're getting great looks continue to make the right play and then defensively he said
24:54we got to get some stops here in the fourth break jamal murray also very active and trying to pump up
24:59his guys pump some energy into this crew right now there's a beautiful play right there they ran it
25:04murray gets doubled thank you out of the double right to valentunas who
25:09spots a layup cutter
25:11and a good rebound by nick lets it go that's one good and spacer jones on the weak side just
25:19rebodied levine out of there 94 93 denver nuggets of beaten the kings
25:28seven straight times and that's a foul on monk
25:31that's an entry pass there two good pass by murray murray on that first play just a while ago
25:37he sees a double coming gets it out before the pressure gets to it and then you're able to do something behind him
25:44david adamant talked about it that right there he sees spencer wide open
25:49malik mugs in there fans want him to get teed up
25:54spencer jones free throw no good tired of replacing your roof every couple of years

26:05roofing spencer jones hesitating a lot of them 75 percent coming in
26:12now it's an 11 point favorite to start the game time but the kings have proven tough
26:18westbrook and hardaway commits the foul
26:24westbrook barking at eubanks wanted eubanks to roll to the buck at that time
26:29apparently didn't go quite fast enough so russell is at the line
26:37started each of the last five games
26:40averaging 11 points per contest
26:43his average 20 against the nuggets in the first two
26:48drops it in
26:48so the king's here sky with four shooters on the court with eubanks
26:59i'm just gonna have to score some points to stay ahead
27:04let's put the other two
27:06one of the two

27:21one of the two guys coming up there
27:29bruce brown and fought back to get there i'm not sure

27:35monk's got nine off the bench
27:38is that double sorry there it is
27:40yonas high pass jonas got a lane if he would take it yeah that pass got to be better too

30:13and a foul there and westbrook can't believe it
30:19well his father through jonas was going to get the rebound his father just plowed
30:25a foul i believe right into valentunas there's a miss he's going to get in that arm just kind of
30:32comes through it hits him
30:36i think that's a foul but the one prior to that could have been a foul also
30:41nuggets led 81 69 since then sacramento on a 35 to 17 run
30:48things are dire they bring yokich back in he shoots a highball three and nails it

40:41but this has got to be a tired group scott
40:42oh well
40:44it's got a tired announcer over
40:45Yeah, they used to call this kind of scheduled losses, right?
40:51One of those ones where you get in at 3.30, 4 o'clock in the morning, playing the back-to-back.
40:56Then you're getting on an airplane again tomorrow.
41:00It's all mental right now.
41:01This evening, fighting for three minutes and 40 seconds.
41:04Tired of replacing your roof every couple of years?
41:07Break the cycle and get your roof for a lifetime.
41:10From Red Hawk Rufin.
41:12Go with the pros, Red Hawk Rufin.
41:14Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, Katie Winge.
41:18The Nuggets trying to come from behind here late.
41:21They've only played four clutch games this season.
41:25Last night was the first one they won.
41:29Can they do it again tonight?
41:31Westbrook has been a stud for the Kings tonight.
41:34A double-double, 16-11-5.
41:37Monster Rosen has been sitting out for a little bit, should be rested.
41:40He's a master of that mid-game.
41:45Wrong range, that's no good.
41:46Rebound available tipped out.
41:48Cam Johnson, Nuggets can get a little closer now.
41:52116-112.
41:54Jokic being guarded by Precious.
41:57Murray turns the corner.
41:58Murray and Dave put it up.
41:59No!
42:00And it's out of bounds.
42:03Last touch by the Nuggets.
42:04Boy, they had a good opportunity there.
42:07Craig, he tried to quick shoot it off the backboard, and Joker had a good rebound opportunity also.
42:12Crouch and defense.
42:19It's, it's, you know you can get a shot from this guy.
42:22DeRozan backing in.
42:24Westbrook for three.
42:26Got it.
42:27Murray's having fun tonight, isn't he?
42:30The former Denver Nugget from a year ago.
42:33119-112.
42:35All right, now you gotta go.
42:36Now it's serious time.
42:37You can't really have empty possessions.
42:3913 in the quarter for Westbrook.
42:43Jokic's gonna shoot the three.
42:46Yes!
42:47Big shot there.
42:48Nuggets back to within four.
42:5336 for Joker.
42:56Stop and score, stop and score.
42:59Win the game.
42:592.20 to play.
43:02DeFact!
43:04DeFact!
43:07DeFact!
43:08DeFact!
43:08Five to shoot.
43:10DeRozan looks up.
43:11He knows it.
43:12DeRozan in the lane.
43:13Turner, let it go.
43:14Short!
43:15Oh, and he got it back!
43:17And he rolls it in.
43:19Murray did a good job.
43:20DeFact!
43:21But then peeled out after the miss.
43:25Under two minutes remaining.
43:27Can't leave until you get possession.
43:29Six-point lead.
43:30Birdie Jokic.
43:40Jokic in the lane.
43:43Jokic puts it up.
43:44No!
43:45Jokic after it!
43:46Good!
43:47And it's off Jokic out-of-bounds.
43:511.32 to go.
43:53And that offensive rebound just really put a damper on it.
43:57They're going to let him beat.
43:58Hands in.
43:58Who cares?
43:59The boat.
44:02Good hustle by Russell, who's always done stuff like this.
44:05Jokic plays with his hair on fire.
44:07110%.
44:09Now the Nuggets are going to pressure.
44:14Cam Johnson.
44:17Nuggets now by six.
44:19Under 90 seconds to go.
44:25Nuggets are going to need a mini miracle here.
44:32Pass it out, Levine.
44:35And that's a 24-second shot clock violation.
44:37Well, they bled the clock all the way down.
44:41You got to get something up and quick.
44:43Kent can't take the full 24.
44:53Well, Murray will run it up.
44:55Got to have a hoop this time down.
44:57Two-man game with Jokic.
44:59Murray.
45:00Now to Jokic.
45:02Jokic indeed put it up.
45:03Yes!
45:05There you got pressure up again.
45:08I don't think I would pressure Westbrook.
45:10See if you can get him to do something unusual.
45:17Corporate Sacramento lead.
45:1947 seconds to go.
45:20That's what knows the clock is his friend.
45:24Westbrook against Hardaway.
45:26Four to shoot.
45:27Westbrook barrels in.
45:28Falling away.
45:29That's good.
45:29That's good.
45:31Oh, my gosh.
45:33Russell Westbrook.
45:36Have it a night.
45:38As the Nuggets take timeout.
45:42Here in the fourth quarter, Westbrook 15, Jokic with 14.
45:47Well, the Nuggets able to score, but nobody can stop Westbrook.
45:56Made some hard shots, hasn't this guy?
45:58Off balance.
45:59Three-pointers.
46:01Driving layups.
46:03Well, I say this.
46:03One team has legs right now.
46:05The other team doesn't.
46:06And they've come up with a couple plays late.
46:09Again, that offensive rebound by DeRozan just kind of killed you.
46:17The Westbrook tonight.
46:21What he's done against a multitude of defenders.
46:26And still play the game of basketball.
46:31That we saw a year ago, especially when he's starting to make those threes.
46:35And he gets in that little mental zone of his.
46:38He's hard to stop.
46:39He's hard to say fourth on the all-time career.
46:44Well, the active players list is a better way to say it.
46:47LeBron, Durant, Arden, Westbrook.
46:49David Adamson said he thought that this would be the toughest back-to-back of the season.
46:54He said that in the pre-game presser.
46:55I thought so, too.
46:57Coming from Houston, playing a cup game last night, getting in late.
47:01Everybody groggy.
47:02And meeting a motivated Russell Westbrook in the Sacramento Cates.
47:06The final 33 seconds here.
47:10Jokic's going to shoot a desperation three.
47:12He knocks it in.
47:14Now it's a three-point game.
47:16It's not over yet.
47:17And you don't have to foul with the time on the clock.
47:22You just have to stop and get a rebound.
47:25What a clutch shot by Nikola Jokic.
47:29His 41st point.
47:38Murray had a pretty good screen in there, using all parts of the body.
47:42So, as Scott mentioned, 29 and a half seconds, plenty of time to get a stop.
47:53Jokic in the quarter has been magnificent.
48:00Seven of eight.
48:04And all three threes.
48:07Now, Jokic has scored the last eight points for the Nuggets.
48:10A reminder, AFW brings you the highest quality furniture at the best prices anywhere.
48:24When you can't be at the game, the best seat in the house is American Furniture Warehouse.
48:28So, it's going to be King's ball on the side.
48:38Kings and the Nuggets each have one timeout remaining.
48:42Doug Christie's crew trying to snap an eight-game losing streak.
48:45And the Nuggets trying to come from behind late and pull one out.
48:55Westbrook's got it. He's going to be guarded by Bruce Brown.
48:59And he's going to try to run it down.
49:01And they'll take 20 seconds.
49:04Let's see if DeRozan can get you a foul or a really nice.
49:08Can't have the foul.
49:12Oh, my gosh.
49:13And he banks it in.
49:14Don't matter.
49:15Rosen.
49:16That's the baseline guy.
49:19Calling the foul.
49:22At the top of the key.
49:27See.
49:29Yeah, he got the hand in there.
49:31Yeah.
49:31Left hand and as soon as he sees it, see, that's, I said, the wagon, what he's trying to do is get to one of his mid-rangers or get to that free-throw line.
49:43He felt that hand in there and that was it.
49:48So, a frustrating night for the Denver Nuggets, who led by as many as 13, seem to have controlled the game.
49:57But in the fourth quarter, the Kings going on a run, opened up a lead.
50:04The Nuggets come all the way back.
50:06They're within three.
50:10But the Kings, 12 seconds away from closing it out here.
50:22Again, you had it.
50:23I think it was a four-point game.
50:25He had great defense on DeRozan, and he gets the offensive rebound and puts it back in.
50:33Puts it back to six.
50:35And that right there, that was the one that just kind of put a nail in a coffin.
50:39Sacramento's got 35 points here in the fourth quarter, Scott.
50:43They've made 14 of 25.
50:45Well, they had 30 in the third, so that's 65 points you've given up in the second half.
50:49They'll fly tomorrow at the Grizzlies on Monday night, then a two-day off Thanksgiving, and then a cup game on Friday night.
50:58That's a big one against the Spurs, and right back out to see the Suns.
51:05Let's see how tight Sacramento plays.
51:11And have a quickie.
51:12Jokic.
51:13And Jokic is fouled.
51:16And again, the same baseline guy calls the foul all the way out the top of the key, so either he's got the vantage point.
51:23Great views of the guys on the side, and they're missing stuff.
51:26I thought he ran into his hip.
51:28See right there how he touched his waist?
51:31Yep, he called it.
51:32And I don't know how the guy right here doesn't see that, but...
51:36Well, he's blocked by Jokic, that's why.
51:38Okay.
51:38He's hit him on the right side, right?
51:41Isn't he?
51:42Sure.
51:4742 for Jokic now.
51:48Only took two seconds.
51:52Got to make all three, and then...
51:54Hope there's fouls and misses.
51:57Yep.
51:58Play the foul game.
52:00Defensive unit, Jones and Brown, ready to come back in.
52:04Well, add to the miss, or the mystique of Joker, if he can miss this.
52:10Have it come right back to him and lays it up.
52:13You like that better than him putting it in here?
52:15Well, you're still at that three-point.
52:18Yeah, and it's like last night at Houston.
52:20All you got to do is make one of the two free throws.
52:22Let's see what Jokic does.
52:23He's already figured this out.
52:26Differ's out of timeouts.
52:28Now Sacramento will be out of timeouts.
52:33So 10 seconds remaining.
52:37The Nuggets trailing by three.
52:40Jokic 44, 13 and 7.
52:44Your best chance here.
52:46You, because that five seconds, as an inbounder now out of bounds, if you can pressure up and not make this any easy inbound and deny, deny, deny, deny, that guy that's got the ball in his hand, you know, the officials go one, yeah, yeah, two, three.
53:05The guy passed it, it's going one, two, three, four, you're, you were sped up.
53:11So you really got, the guys on the floor have got to do a good job of really in deny position.
53:18Yeah, I would say that, too, is like, if your guy's going to go long and they want to throw it long and take a risky pass, maybe throw it out of bounds or something, don't let him have the ball inbounds.
53:28Jokic has the last 11 points and he's got 20 here in the fourth quarter.
53:34But you're still down three.
53:38Westbrook getting into it with Rocky over on the far side.
53:46You, you, you, you gotta be in front of people and one guy's gotta be ready to run long.
53:52Oh, they're too tight.
53:53They'll get somebody out here.
53:55And then you gotta foul Schroeder chasing Westbrook.
53:59Well, you have no time out there.
54:11I was going to challenge it.
54:12You have no time out to challenge anything.
54:18He is in trouble.
54:21It's probably a foul in there somewhere.
54:24Don't you think?
54:25Maybe they had the ball early, but there was no call early.
54:30Well, DeMar DeRozan with 15 points.
54:36Five of five at the line.
54:43Cam Johnson back in now.
54:49Watson, Jokic, Murray, Hardaway Jr.
54:55Well, Peyton got the ball, the clock's already going.
55:09He didn't need to.
55:10He didn't need to go grab the ball.
55:13Now he's down by five.
55:17And the ball poked out of bounds.
55:20If you're second middle, I would just start heading out.
55:22There's no reason to be near anybody.
55:25A frustrating loss for the Denver Nuggets.
55:27His Yoke is one final shot.
55:32Doug Christie getting off the schneid.
55:35His team had lost eight in a row.
55:38Russell Westbrook, a star tonight.
55:41With the loss, the Denver Nuggets fall to 12 and 4 overall.
55:46They are now 6 and 2 at home.
55:49Sacramento Kings came in, played a good game.
55:52Nuggets second night back-to-back.
55:53It doesn't work out.
55:56One of those games, the Nuggets woulda, coulda, shoulda,
55:59but couldn't quite get it done.
56:02So for Katie Wenge, Scott Hastings, I'm Chris Marlowe.
56:06Reminding you, once again, the final score.
56:07The Sacramento Kings defeat the Denver Nuggets 128-123.
