00:59–zogeniture and NBA at Denver Nuggets
01:05will face off with the Dallas
01:06Mavericks.
01:07Hi everybody.
01:08Welcome Chris Marlowe, Scott
01:08Hastings.
01:09Katie Wenge will join us shortly.
01:10The Nuggets on the road this
01:12season.
01:13Outstanding.
01:13They just went 7 and 0 in
01:16November.
01:17At home it's been a little bit
01:18different Scott.
01:19They've lost three straight.
01:20How do they turn that around?
01:21Ну, слушай, David Ataman talked about it in his pregame presser.
01:25Defensively, he said it was almost like the home games were like a open court.
01:30Let's just free for all.
01:31Let's just play.
01:32Got to tighten up the defense at home in particular.
01:34If they do that, they'll be fine.
01:35In Phoenix, the Nuggets starters were very well balanced.
01:39These five guys put up a total of 92 points.
01:41Usually, that'll get the job done.
01:43Well, I tell you what, I'm not sure, and especially with the depth of this bench we'll talk about in a second,
01:47you're going to lose many games if your starters are putting up numbers like that.
01:51And from every single position.
01:53They're getting to the place.
01:54If I don't have a shot, I'm going to get you a shot.
01:57If you're open, I'm going to give it to you.
01:58And you know what?
01:59I thought defensively, too.
02:00I thought that was one of their better games in the last five or six.
02:03So they did a little bit of everything.
02:05They attacked the basket.
02:06Let's see if they can repeat it tonight.
02:08Nuggets bench was also solid, led by Tim Hardaway Jr.
02:11He put up 23.
02:12And how about Bruce Brown?
02:1310 assists that tied a season high.
02:16Yeah, only four points, but he seemed to be all over the place.
02:19But it was the shooting, the 7 of 11 from the three-point line in particular for Tim Hardaway Jr.
02:25He came in.
02:25You left him open.
02:26What are you doing?
02:27He makes some tight shots.
02:28I can make those as well.
02:30He was on fire last night at last game against the Phoenix.
02:33It's something they really needed.
02:35If he could continue to give a spark every single night, the starters play like they did, how are you going to beat them?
02:41I don't think you can.
02:42All right.
02:43We're sitting ready to go, the Denver Nuggets and the Dallas Mavericks.
02:46When we come back, well, you know Dallas doesn't have Luka, but they've got a Koopa.
02:51Yeah, Koopa flagged the number one overall pick.
02:54He'll be on display coming up.
02:56Toyota tip-off is next.

03:34Nuggets welcome the Dallas Mavericks to town tonight.
03:37The new-look Mavericks, Anthony Davis, is playing, and so is the rookie sensation Cooper Flagg,
03:44who just put a 30-piece on the L.A. Clippers.
03:47In fact, the second youngest player ever to eclipse 30 points in a game.
03:52He did it at the age of 18.
03:54We'll show you who the other one who has the record a little later.
03:57Yeah, you can see how he's doing it here, right?
03:59There's a lot of...
04:00Like that.
04:01Yeah, you can get there, too.
04:03He's a mid-range player.
04:06LeBron James is the other player, too.
04:08Of course, right?
04:08Of course, yeah.
04:09That makes total sense.
04:10Look, Cooper Flagg's got a great career ahead of him.
04:12He's going to score a ton of points.
04:15I really do love how he doesn't get outside of his skill set, which is vast, to be honest with you.
04:22He can put it on the deck, get straight to the mid-range.
04:25You saw a number of those shots in that highlight clip that we just showed you.
04:29Also, getting straight to the rim.
04:31And in transition, he's a very good player as well.
04:33Defensively, he can block some shots.
04:35You said the buzzword there, defense.
04:37Defensively.
04:38If the Nuggets play some defense tonight, they'll snap this home-losing streak three in a row.
04:43Don't need to see four.
04:45The Nuggets and the Mavs coming up next on Altitude Sports.
04:49The Nuggets and the Mavs coming up next on Altitude Sports.
05:19Ball Arena, another full house, the 10th straight sellout to open the season.
05:34Getting ready for the Dallas Mavericks and your Denver Nuggets here tonight's starting lineups
05:39presented by Intermountain Health.
05:42A.G., Christian Brown, Julian Strother, all still out.
05:46Jamal Murray starts with Cam Johnson, Nicola Jokic, Peyton Watson, and Spencer Jones.
05:51Meanwhile, for the Dallas Mavericks, they've got six guys out.
05:56We'll detail that throughout the night.
05:58But they will run with Ryan Nembhardt, the youngster.
06:01Max Christie, Anthony Davis, we are told, is going to play and start.
06:06Najee Marshall and the number one overall pick, the highly regarded Cooper flag.
06:11Now, Nicola Jokic, 1-0 with the new haircut, looking to go 2-0, Scott, if he can.
06:22And we are underway.
06:24The Mavericks with the tip.
06:25They'll have the ball to start the fourth quarter.
06:28Nick Booker, J.B. DeRosa, Matt Myers, the three-man officiating crew.
06:34The Mavericks, a very good defensive team.
06:37They've had trouble scoring the basketball as Jokic gives the ball to Cam Johnson.
06:42Now, Murray, who's been hot.
06:44He drives in on the lead first.
06:46No tip, no.
06:48Nuggets get it back.
06:50Murray, he'll shoot a three.
06:52Maybe he was too close, Scott Hastings, as he drills it.
06:56He went on that reverse side, probably didn't need to,
06:58but he saw the defender come over, but got the rebound back.
07:01Now, it's come in as an 11-and-a-half-point home favorite.
07:08As the Nuggets take it away, David Adelman, as reported by Katie and Scott,
07:13wants more defense tonight.
07:16Floating off to Jokic, and Jokic puts it away.
07:19And Dipper at its best when it can get out, get up quick.
07:22Get the stop, get the rebound, and get out on the fast break.
07:26Mavericks, 6-and-15 overall, just 2-and-5 on the road,
07:32and Anthony Davis floats one in.
07:35So, Anthony Davis, they say, is reasonably healthy now.
07:39He played the first five games before missing the next 14 with a calf strain.
07:44He returned just a moment ago.
07:47Doubling him right away.
07:48Jokic down the middle of the bat, he wants it, who is wide open.
07:52That's as wide open as you can get in the lane.
07:54Marshall switched off on Jokic, Davis came over right away to double.
07:57That's four on five on the weak side.
08:02The four on three, I should say.
08:04Something like that.
08:05Yeah, you know, Arkansas, man.
08:08Now, Cooper Flagg shoots the three.
08:10This is the one thing that he hasn't really done well early,
08:14just 25-and-a-half percent.
08:16And now, in the lane, is the fast-improving Spencer Jones.
08:22Coming off his best game as a pro, 16 points, nine rebounds, an assist and a block.
08:30So, the Nuggets jump on top, 9-2.
08:33Long-range jumper is good.
08:37So, Anthony Davis, who does have some three-point range,
08:41although he's only shooting 25% also,
08:43will make it 9-4.
08:45I guess they called that a two.
08:47Now, Spencer Jones.
08:49And he gets the members' bounce.
08:52Well, then they start Davis on Jones.
08:56So, he can float around a double joker.
08:59Nuggets have made five out of six shots.
09:01Nembhard is in the lane.
09:03Call is tip.
09:03Jokic has it.
09:04And Jokic gives the ball to Murray.
09:07Murray's been hot lately, you know that.
09:09His last three games, smoking hot.
09:11Now, pops a three.
09:13Off the mark.
09:14And a good leaping rebound by Max Christie,
09:19who came over from the Lakers in the Luka deal.
09:22Now, Davis in the lane.
09:23Bumps into a man.
09:24And coming over the weak side with Spencer Jones.
09:28It's going to be Nuggets basketball.
09:30Trying to force the issue.
09:31Spencer came over with help with arms straight up.
09:35Anthony trying to create some fouls, some contact.
09:39So, he got in.
09:39The Spencer could have got a foul.
09:42So, it's going to be Nuggets basketball.
09:44Nuggets 14-5 overall.
09:47And Spencer Jones making Anthony Davis pay for cheating,
09:53so to speak.
09:53Cheating off him.
09:55Now, Spencer Jones, who made four threes in the win over Phoenix.
10:01He's lighting it up.
10:03Spence is hot.
10:05It's 15-4.
10:07It's off to a hot start against the Dallas Mavericks.
10:09They're up 15-4.
10:10Jamal Murray also off to a hot start.
10:12He's got three points, two assists, and two rebounds already in this game.
10:16And it has been a tremendous month of November for Jamal Murray.
10:19You may remember at the beginning of the season,
10:21he was asked about what his thoughts were about his game coming into this year.
10:25And he said he was just focused on having a good November.
10:27Well, mission accomplished.
10:28Because this November was filled with career highs for him.
10:31He's such a big reason why the Denver Nuggets have had such a strong start to the season.
10:34Career highs in minutes, points, field goal percentage, rebounds, and assists.
10:38Guys, it's the first time he's appeared in at least 18 games before December 1st, since 2018-19.
10:45Jamal Murray, last time he played against Dallas, to add to Katie's story.
10:50He scored 45.
10:51They're doubling Cooper.
10:52Oh!
10:53And Peyton Watson with a rejection.
10:55Down the middle to Watson.
11:00Johnson for three.
11:01Rounded out.
11:02No.
11:03And we're going to have a foul in the lane.
11:07A joker got the tip on it.
11:09Listen, Cooper Flagg's going to have Peyton Watson on.
11:12He started with Spencer Jones until the switch off.
11:16He's got two good guys.
11:17He's going to try to defend him tonight.
11:19So, Nuggets ball far side.
11:27Nuggets six and three at home.
11:29Remember, they won their first six.
11:30They've lost three straight.
11:33Bulls, Kings, Spurs.
11:35A couple of giveaways in that group.
11:37Peyton Watson is having a month.
11:39He's been playing as a starter.
11:42And he has lit things up.
11:45He's in his tenth start tonight.
11:47He's in his first three.
11:48I got it.
11:49Sorry.
11:50They gave Joker a shot attempt on that attempt.
11:52That attempt where he got fouled right there.
11:54But they didn't give him free throws.
11:58I think because he didn't have two hands on it or he was tipping the ball.
12:02Well, but like I said, the statue gives him a shot on it, though.
12:06Look at David Adelman, 17 and 5 in his first 22 games.
12:10One of only six NBA coaches ever to win 17 of their first 22.
12:17That's NBA coaches.
12:18Interesting note, George Carl in his debut for Denver, he went 17 and 5.
12:240-4-0-5 season.
12:26Former great Nuggets coach, Hall of Famer.
12:29Hope he's watching tonight.
12:30We say hello.
12:31To 15 to 4.
12:32He took over a dead program and got him to the playoffs that full year when he came in.
12:39What did you say, 32 and 8?
12:4140 games, he went 32 and 8.
12:43Absolutely.
12:43Pretty good.
12:44That was a great run.
12:45Nuggets now on a great run also.
12:48And the alley-oop to Spencer.
12:49And the ball hit the glass and they've got it.
12:53So make it 17 to 4.
12:57Joker target dispensary.
12:58Are you ready for that?
12:58They pull out.
12:59Oh, I'm coming to you.
13:01Be ready for that.
13:04Eight straight points for the Denver Nuggets.
13:09Oh, good closeout.
13:11Christy can't shoot.
13:14Now Anthony Davis is in the lane.
13:16Short.
13:16You're getting a little bump there.
13:19Davis slow getting back.
13:20Let's have five on four.
13:21Murray's down the lane.
13:22Give it to York.
13:24And he lays it up at end.
13:27Denver's getting out.
13:28He's running right now.
13:30Ten straight points.
13:33They've got seven fast break points already.
13:39Clippers coming off a good win at the Clippers the other night.
13:43Prior to that, they were struggling as Jokic deflects it out of bounds.
13:47But they are covering up the corner three right now.
13:50These rotations have been pretty good.
13:52Behind the back, Jokic says, I know Anthony's coming behind me.
13:57Let me stretch out over here.
13:59Max Christie.
14:01They like him a lot.
14:02He's not a star player, but he's a good role player.
14:05Spencer Jones already has ten points here in the first quarter.
14:09Who would have thunk it?
14:11Underneath.
14:12Another bucket.
14:13He's starting to figure out that little short corner, that low post, low action with Jokic ending.
14:20Twelve points in a row for the Denver Nuggets.
14:25Since it was 9-4.
14:28Spencer Jones having the time of his life as a starter for Denver.
14:35More on Spencer.
14:36Let's go over to Katie.
14:37Spencer Jones was a player that David Adelman was really high on, even during training camp for the Denver Nuggets,
14:42saying he was going to get opportunities.
14:44And now with no Aaron Gordon, you're seeing him kind of play that dunker spot here tonight.
14:48But it's been the past couple games you've seen his confidence develop more and more as he started.
14:52The four starts, he went from one point, no points, nine points, and then 16 points.
14:57And he's already got 12 points here in the first quarter tonight.
14:59His confidence is growing like crazy with the starting group.
15:02He sure has.
15:03He never scored ten or more in a game until Saturday.
15:06Multiple threes.
15:07Getting a chance to play with the absence of Aaron Gordon on the recovery trail, along with Christian Brown.
15:14And we got a little bit of an update on Julian Strother.
15:16The update was there's not much of an update.
15:18His back hurts.
15:19Moving around.
15:20Yeah, moving around more.
15:22Not in a basketball stance, but still getting active, getting on the machines.
15:27Defensing three seconds puts Anthony Davis.
15:30How about Anthony Davis?
15:31Your center's taking your free throw.
15:33So Julian Strother on the right, Christian Brown on the left, who, by the way, is not in a boot tonight.
15:39That's good news.
15:40Notice good news.
15:41Brandon Williams is in for the Mavericks.
15:45Also in his Caleb Martin.
15:47Now flag on the run.
15:50And he drops it up and in and a potential three-point play here.
15:54That'll be Spencer Jones second.
15:58See if he gets a little hand on the back.
16:00He seems to pick up a lot of fouls.
16:02Does that concern you?
16:04No.
16:04In a starting role?
16:05No.
16:06Okay.
16:07That's being 40 games.
16:09And he's, you know, he's still your starter or playing significant minutes.
16:12But he's only 18.
16:14He'll be 19 in December.
16:19Second youngest, number one overall pick.
16:21LeBron was the youngest back in 03.
16:23Good defense by Christie behind the back to Jokic.
16:27Jokic trying to set up the hot man.
16:29Spencer Jones.
16:31Got it again!
16:33A star is being born, perhaps, here in the Mile High City.
16:38Spencer Jones with 14 here in the first quarter.
16:42Wow!
16:45Now the layup is real good.
16:47But Anthony Davis right there for the ball.
16:51Make it 23-7.
16:53Jones has 14 of the last 16 for the Nuggets.
17:01So learning how to play the dunker spot.
17:06Usually held by Aaron Gordon.
17:10Murray's in the lane.
17:12Trying to dump it under Anthony Davis there.
17:16Now Martin is on the run.
17:18He's got a lane.
17:18In the flag.
17:22And another three-point opportunity coming up.
17:27Cooper flag hails from Newport, Maine.
17:32Listed at 6-9.
17:35On the move.
17:36Plays with relentless energy.
17:38This time we've got a chance to see him live.
17:40He looks pretty good.
17:42And Tim Hardaway Jr.
17:43You see him in the background.
17:45Coming on.
17:46Jason Kidd faced with some adversity.
17:49This season.
17:50The trade of Luka.
17:51That was back in February.
17:52They got a new general manager.
17:55Nico Harrison relieved of duty.
18:00And all kinds of injuries.
18:03Kyrie Irving.
18:06Exum.
18:07And Jokic floats it out.
18:08Floats it in.
18:10They're also missing a couple big guys.
18:12Lively and Gafford.
18:13And P.J. Washington.
18:15So three of their bigs are out.
18:17Just a little.
18:18That short roll.
18:19I think it's going to be open a lot.
18:20You see.
18:21Defender just comes in a little bit late.
18:23And gets underneath Joker.
18:25You have to give him a place to land, see him jump.
18:28Martin gets caught with it.
18:30Nikola Jokic started the night with 16,760 points.
18:35He just passed.
18:37Clay Thompson on the all-time list.
18:40He's up by six on him to start the night.
18:43Make it up by 13 now.
18:45As Jokic here in the first quarter has 7.7 rebounds, five assists as the Mavericks answer back.
18:52The 26-14 now.
18:58And off Hardaway Jr.
19:01Hardaway Jr. coming off a 23-point performance.
19:04Jokic in the lane.
19:05He puts it up and in over Anthony Davis.
19:06He's had some good success against Anthony Davis.
19:11Already nine points for Joker.
19:1314-point lead.
19:14Biggest lead was 17.
19:16Now Davis is going to shoot mid-range.
19:18He does.
19:1918-footer.
19:20That's no good.
19:21Jokic there.
19:22Collects the rebound.
19:23Jokic's going for a triple-double in the first quarter.
19:26Watson.
19:26No.
19:27Batted out.
19:28Spencer Jones was there.
19:30Jokic knows where Jones is.
19:32Flag now.
19:33Peyton Watson on the corner three.
19:36That's no good.
19:36Jones after it.
19:39Martin with it.
19:42Flag.
19:44They double.
19:49Now.
19:50Open man is Martin.
19:52Swing it.
19:54The challenge.
19:55Time for three.
19:56Still got to the challenge.
19:57Good rotation that time.
19:58Guy just made a shot.
20:00First three years with the Lakers was Christie and part of the Luka deal.
20:05Back cut.
20:07Hardaway put it up and in.
20:10So Hardaway coming off a 23-point performance.
20:13That's the most he's had in the game this year off the bench.
20:16Remember he started up at Minnesota and had 23 in that role.
20:20Long-range AD.
20:21And Anthony Davis showing that he does have three-point range.
20:27Ten-time All-Star.
20:28Five-time All-NBA defensive.
20:32And a champion with the Lakers.
20:34And the Blue Arrow thunders one down.
20:41Just faked that behind the back pass and just opened the lane for him.
20:45Four dead.
20:4532-20 now.
20:47Davis is going to shoot another three.
20:49That's no good.
20:49On the weak side, it's Murray.
20:51He's averaging a career high in rebounds this year.
20:54Four and a half.
20:55Now Jokic's coming in.
20:56Put it up no.
20:58But he'll shoot two.
21:00The end of the photo.
21:02Let's hope our guy is not hurt down there.
21:04Brandon Williams got jokered.
21:07He just got in too late on this.
21:09Murray got a little fake behind the back.
21:11And just.
21:12Martin just gave him the rim.
21:14Jalen Pickett.
21:21Wondering about that play.
21:22Jokic at the free throw line.
21:24Jokic down in the desert.
21:27Phoenix with almost shot an air ball.
21:29Almost did.
21:30He was 10 of 11.
21:31Now Clay Thompson and Dwight Powell will come on.
21:39Who's Brown in the game?
21:41He was under the weather this morning.
21:44Yeah, it was questionable whether he was going to play.
21:46Evan Adelman said he's tough.
21:48Well, my guess will be he will play.
21:51Jokic makes one of two.
21:52Ten.
21:53Eight rebounds.
21:54Six assists in the first quarter.
21:56So Bruce Lee B is in.
21:57That means good things.
21:58Coming off a ten assist performance.
22:02Ten assists.
22:03The second most he's ever had in a game.
22:05Eleven is his career high.
22:08Hardaway's going to stick with Thompson.
22:10He should.
22:11One of the great three-point shooters in NBA history.
22:14That shot is blocked.
22:15So Watson has two blocked shots early.
22:18Murray's on the run.
22:19And the pass is deflected.
22:23Now Thompson.
22:24He lets it fly.
22:26That's no good.
22:26Rebound on the weak side.
22:28Good play by Martin.
22:29Down the lane.
22:33Watson again.
22:37Watson all the way.
22:39No, it's blocked back the other way.
22:41He's got a dunk down.
22:42One.
22:42Thirty-three-twenty.
22:43Our score.
22:45Watson was unofficially three blocks.
22:48Thompson challenged.
22:50Got it.
22:53And timeout called.
22:56Wow.
22:56Fast-paced action here at Ball Arena.
23:00Just under two and a half to go first quarter.
23:03Nuggets by ten.
23:03Hey, baby.
23:10Stay up, please.
23:13Stay up.
23:16You're up and low.
23:17Spencer Jones, we thank him.
23:26He is miked up tonight.
23:28Catch his comments.
23:29He's out of the game now.
23:30He just had one of the great first quarter as well.
23:33The best NBA first quarter he's ever had.
23:36Fourteen points.
23:36He made all six shots, Scott.
23:38He made two for two from three.
23:40A couple of rebounds.
23:42Now, Zeke Najee has come on.
23:44Najee will play the corner position.
23:46I think it's a dunker spot.
23:48Now, hard away back to Jokic.
23:50Jokic has a 12-footer.
23:52Needs a bounce, and he gets it.
23:54Three-time NBA MVP.
23:57And one of the frontrunners for most valuable player again this season.
24:01So, 35-23 Nuggets.
24:03Nuggets have 15 baskets and 13 assists.
24:07That's good stuff.
24:10Trying to stay home on the outside shooters.
24:19Jokic, another rebound.
24:21That is.
24:2312-point lead for Denton.
24:25Cam Johnson.
24:27In on Powell.
24:29Powell, a pretty good defensive player.
24:30A little bit undersized to play center.
24:32Now, Jokic got 10 on the clock.
24:33A double late.
24:35Jokic.
24:36And the pass is deflected out of bounds.
24:38How important are deflections for a defense?
24:43Well, listen, if you don't get a deflection, you give up a layup right there.
24:46So, it gets your chance now, especially with six on the shot clock.
24:50Dallas could kind of set up their half-court defense.
24:53Different to see if they run a play to get a score right away.
24:55Looking for Cam Johnson.
24:56He cuts through.
24:58Look at Jokic.
24:59Jokic lets a three go.
25:01And he's been hot, folks.
25:03Nikola Jokic.
25:0445-and-a-half percent from three-point land.
25:08What has he improved on this season?
25:09Yeah.
25:10From downtown.
25:12Now, Marshall.
25:13And Marshall kind of bullies Cam Johnson.
25:17Going to have to be stoutered in the lane.
25:20So, Najee Marshall, good player, 27 years old.
25:23Sixth NBA season, second with Dallas.
25:28Jokic is on the run.
25:32Probably got slapped on the arm.
25:33No call.
25:35Clay Thompson.
25:36Pop it out.
25:43Jokic had the near steal.
25:46Now, Williams lets it go.
25:47That's no good.
25:50Hardaway Jr. with a rebound.
25:54Hardaway Jr.
25:56Got it!
25:58You remember the alley-oop dunk for Hardaway Jr.
26:01The other night, a couple games back, I asked him,
26:03have you ever gotten one like that?
26:05And he goes, yeah, Luke Lee used to throw me those all the time
26:07when I was at Dallas.
26:09It was kind of a funny answer.
26:11Now, Williams on the run.
26:15And that's going to be a foul on Bruce Brown.
26:20Bruce Brown with the push.
26:23Going to be side out of bounds.
26:28Fifteen-and-a-half seconds remaining.
26:30The Nuggets up by 15.
26:33The jumper is good.
26:34And Zeke Najee right there in Hardaway.
26:36Little miscommunications on switching on that screen.
26:43Bruce Brown playing the point.
26:44He did a great job.
26:49Inside of Najee, and he is fouled.
26:51So, Bruce Brown, we mentioned the 10 assists the other night.
26:55And getting a chance to play.
26:57He likes to play the point guard position because he feels like it makes him more involved.
27:01Well, he's gotten this one out tonight.
27:03I know he feels absolutely horrible.
27:06In case you missed it.
27:08A little bit ill earlier.
27:11Questionably for the game.
27:13And his nauseous free throw is no good.
27:15Bruce.
27:17Doesn't want to give up opportunities, do you?
27:22So, he's in the lineup coming off the bench.
27:27Jared Dudley to the right.
27:28The defensive core.
27:30David Adelman.
27:31And Jokic trying to pull the double fake there to get the Dallas Mavs to go into the key.
27:39He's done that before.
27:41Fakes like he's going in and draws him in.
27:43And the final shot of the first quarter is a ride.
27:50Jokic 15, 9, and 6.
27:56The only player ever since 96-97, I guess, with those numbers.
28:03All right, we're through one.
28:0441-27, Denver.
28:06It is time now for our whole story presented by AdventHealth.
28:10Reminding us to never underestimate the human spirit.
28:13Look at the shot chart.
28:15No, not for the whole team.
28:17That's for Spencer Jones.
28:20He is.
28:21Oh, it is the whole team.
28:22Excuse me.
28:22I thought it was just Spencer Jones.
28:25But the entire team making 17 of 26.
28:28Pretty impressive stuff.
28:29And Spencer Jones leading the way.
28:32Zone here by Dallas to start the second.
28:35Valanchunas.
28:36Corner of the key.
28:37Knocks it in.
28:38Good sign there.
28:39So the Nuggets put up 41 in the first quarter.
28:42Jokic is out, resting on his laurels.
28:4515, 9, and 6.
28:48Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastie, Katie Wengie.
28:51Trying to dunk was AD Anthony Davis.
28:56And he'll shoot two.
28:58Design play, back screen on Valanchunas.
29:03Hardaway's got that responsibility.
29:05Got the body up in there.
29:07Kept Davis from scoring to have to earn it from the free throw line.
29:10So the shorthanded Nuggets playing against the shorthanded Mavericks.
29:15Davis already with 10 points.
29:17The average is 19 and a half on the season when he plays.
29:22Nine and a half rebounds.
29:30Now get this low zero down lease on a built forward tough F-150 for just $479 a month.
29:36First seven years with the New Orleans Pelicans, the Lakers the next six.
29:42This is his second season with Dallas.
29:47And he makes one of two.
29:52Dallas.
29:54With seven assists, seven rebounds.
29:56Jokic has six assists and nine rebounds.
29:58Dallas, one of the first teams in the NBA to use some exclusive zone.
30:05And that's the way to beat the zone.
30:08Jonas to beat.
30:09Valanchunas gets the bucket.
30:11And padding is rebound totaled at the same time.
30:14He understands to get it right in the middle of that zone, doesn't it?
30:17Yep.
30:17Perfect position.
30:18Now Davis.
30:20The key jumper is good.
30:22But Davis carries the load.
30:23Right now for the Dallas Mavericks.
30:32Get the ball to Big Val.
30:35He's the man that's open.
30:36Now long range.
30:37Bruce Brown has been struggling from three-point land recently.
30:4410 of 33.
30:48Now Marshall shoots a three.
30:50That's good.
30:53Now Najee Marshall, who's only shooting 31% from three.
30:59Not a good three-point shooting team.
31:04Nobody guarding Big Val, and he puts it away.
31:07Now they're playing a 1-2-2, and that top guy, where the ball goes away,
31:11has to sink all the way to free throw, and they're not doing it.
31:14That's no good.
31:21Well, Clay Thompson complained about Zeke Najee, late whistle.
31:26And Najee picks up the foul.
31:31And Clay Thompson, they're going to take a peek at it, we think,
31:36they're going to take a peek at it and see whether it's a three or a two.
31:42Well, he plays in a review for a potential flagrant foul.
31:45Oh, wow.
31:45If the foot goes underneath the feet, then they can call a flagrant.
31:49So the officials will take a look.
31:56Nick Booker, J.B. DeRosa, Matt Myers.
32:03And we'll see about Klay Thompson.
32:07It's barely a foul.
32:09After review, the ruling on the floor stands.
32:11It is just a common foul for three shots.
32:16Let's see what they were looking at.
32:19He jumped.
32:20See that though he lands on Thompson.
32:22He landed on Thompson's foot.
32:27But not much there, they think.
32:31So Klay Thompson at the line.
32:33He's now 35 years old.
32:35Grew up in Los Angeles.
32:36Played his college ball at Washington State.
32:39He's fifth all time in three points.
32:42Makes with 2700 and 52.
32:4553 away from Damian Lillard, who probably will be out the entire year with that torn Achilles.
32:55Well, we've got three free throws.
32:58Game on.
32:59Red Bulls in play at Circle K.
33:01Buy two, get one free on any 12-ounce Red Bull energy drink.
33:10So Jason Kidd, one of the great players of all time.
33:14Harry Thompson mad at himself.
33:16There's Jason Kidd, a wizard.
33:18I actually covered him in the pack.
33:20It was maybe a Pac-10 conference back in the day when he was playing his college ball at Cal.
33:28Fabulous career.
33:31Oh, he missed two.
33:33Played against him.
33:34Wow.
33:37Klay Thompson, a 91% free throw shooter.
33:41He's got Bruce Brown on the baseline and he puts it up and in and a foul.
33:49So D'Angelo Russell, who did not play the other night, he was a healthy scratch.
33:54The former Laker.
33:57And nobody guarding Bruce E.
33:59B.
34:01See, he got up underneath him just a little bit.
34:04Not much of a call there, but.
34:06This is what it is, I guess.
34:14Bruce Brown has made a three at home in his last five games.
34:20Now Davis inside blocked.
34:22But a foul.
34:26We've got nine and a half minutes to go and the Nuggets have already put up 50 points.
34:3330 of them in the paint.
34:35Pretty, almost a pretty good block by Zeke Nazi right there.
34:41Anthony Davis.
34:43Right there.
34:46Shoot a couple.
34:48Having a good first half.
34:50Drops it in.
34:53There's no questioning Anthony Davis' talent.
34:56More brilliance when he's able to play.
34:59His, his whole thing is availability, absolutely, right?
35:07Only played about two-thirds of the games between the Lakers and the Mavs.
35:15Since joining those squads.
35:16So, the Nuggets by 14.
35:20Biggest lead was 17 to 21 to 4.
35:23Outside, Bruce Brown.
35:24He can't make his first lead.
35:25No.
35:26And a good rebound by Davis.
35:29Davis lost his goggles.
35:31Puts him back on.
35:32Now, D'Angelo Russell.
35:33You have to be careful with him, because this guy's a streaky shooter.
35:36They need points tonight.
35:39Yeah, and Denver's missing the wide-open shots right now.
35:43Dallas, that's how you get back in the game.
35:46Hardaway Jr.
35:50Contact on that shot.
35:52They swarm Davis.
35:55Davis gets it back and lays it in timeout.
35:58And Adelman is hot.
35:59He's moving out to center court to challenge the officials.
36:02Well, Adelman, Adelman, that there was a foul.
36:0950-39.
36:11It is time now to see who you can count on more, brought to you by UMB Bank.
36:17Let's talk about Peyton Watson with three blocks in the first quarter alone,
36:22which ties a season high.
36:24I talked to Jamal Murray about Peyton Watson and his athletic ability earlier.
36:28He said his name is Swatson.
36:30That's what he does.
36:31He electrifies the crowd with blocks and dunks.
36:34Murray said every time Watson jumps in the air, he's the highlight reel.
36:38He's also noticed Peyton getting more comfortable offensively
36:40and mentioned his defense will always be what it is.
36:43So with a few players out, obviously, with injury,
36:45we've seen Watson really stepping in and stepping up,
36:48particularly as a starter, guys.
36:50Tell you what, they've got a note here that he's shooting 58.5%
36:53on corner threes as Valanchunas with the miss and it's knocked out of bounds.
36:59It's last touched by Denver.
37:01Denver's missed its last four or five shots.
37:04Dallas has come down, made some threes on this second unit.
37:07Dallas has made its last five.
37:09He's got eight.
37:10He's got seven in the quarter.
37:12Murray's back.
37:13And so is Spencer Jones, who had 14 in the first.
37:18Nuggets playing drop coverage.
37:24Wide open.
37:26And the jump shot is missed.
37:29Tim's got to get back out and play it fast.
37:30And the jumper is good.
37:37Spencer Jones has been a revelation.
37:39It's got another career high.
37:41Back-to-back games.
37:4317 now for Spencer Jones.
37:49In the lane, nice shot by Nembhard.
37:54Nembhard get his shot.
37:56Saw that when he went to the finals.
37:58He's got the brother of Andrew Nembhard.
38:02You'll see Indy soon.
38:03Down the middle of the Valanchunas.
38:05And Valanchunas is having a feast down there.
38:09Scott 55-43 Denver.
38:16Long range.
38:17No, Valanchunas has it.
38:19DeAngelo Russell.
38:19One thing you know about him, he's going to keep shooting.
38:23DeAngelo Russell up on Bruce Brown.
38:25Now give it to Murray.
38:28Murray with five points so far.
38:31Made the big shot over Anthony Davis in the playoffs a couple years ago.
38:34There he goes again.
38:35No, in and out.
38:39Nuggets trying to run back.
38:40Long pass.
38:41Too high.
38:42Nuggets have it.
38:43Murray's got it.
38:44Murray's got it.
38:44Murray's going to stop and pop.
38:47Inside.
38:48Briss and off to Bruce Brown.
38:50A 360 by Murray.
38:52And a dish that was so tasty that gives him seven assists on the night.
39:00The news is brought to you by HCA Health One.

39:29And by AdventHealth reminding us to never underestimate the human spirit.
39:36Wintry weather in downtown Denver.
39:39And just a moment ago treating Anthony Davis.
39:43He was out with a calf injury.
39:45But that was live just a minute ago.
39:49He banged his hand on that long pass on the rim.
39:5157 to 45 is our score.
39:58Remember when Jokic went out at the top of the quarter.
40:01And Murray, no.
40:03At the top of the quarter, the Nuggets were leading 41 to 27.
40:06So the bench has more than held its own.
40:09Let's bring in Katie.
40:11Guys, we talked about how important defense would be.
40:13How that was a focal point coming in.
40:14Because the last three games for the Denver Nuggets, they're giving up 132 points per game.
40:18In that last huddle, there was a little bit of confusion defensively.
40:20But they brought in the iPad.
40:22They watched some plays.
40:23They were communicating about coverages and player tendencies.
40:25Making sure everyone was on the same page on that end.
40:28And then just a funny note for you that I am going to clean up a little bit.
40:30Because it was a very colorful words of encouragement.
40:33But Tim Hardaway Jr. to Spencer Jones smiled at him and said,
40:36What is up, dude?
40:37I love it.
40:38Keep playing the way that you've been playing.
40:39Spencer Jones, 7 of 7 with 17 points so far in this game.
40:43My daughter Grace tweeted me.
40:45He's been spensational so far.
40:48Get a week.
40:48Get a week.
40:50Hastings left.
40:52Dallas in the quarter has made 6 of 8.
40:57Nembhard can't shoot.
40:59Russell will shoot.
41:01The floater.
41:02Got it.
41:02You got Nembhard and Russell who are professional scorers.
41:06I mean, they will, in a game, if it gets too holy, call it goalie, they'll just go after.
41:11Murray, down the middle.
41:14Bruce Brown, a little high floater, tap it, up and in.
41:18A little tippy tap for Bruce E.
41:20B.
41:2161-47.
41:23So lead back to 14.
41:27Came down and dribbling.
41:28Christy got up in the air, didn't have anywhere to go.
41:30No cutters.
41:31Everybody's spotting up to the outside.
41:33So Jason Kidd, I believe that's Frank Vogel, a stride there.
41:39We're midway through the second quarter.
41:42Of course, Frank Vogel, the one-time head coach in Phoenix.
41:46J. Triano also.
41:48No worries.
41:49Backhand layup.
41:50No.
41:51Got to run back, though.
41:53Dallas trying to hustle it up.
41:55They're fifth in pace in the NBA.
41:59Nembhard fumbles it away.
42:01They got it back.
42:02Flag trying to get by Murray.
42:06Nembhard.
42:07Ryan Nembhard.
42:10Powell.
42:11And Powell.
42:11A round and in.
42:14White Powell, the longest tenured Dallas Maverick.
42:20I think he was on the team.
42:23Yeah, he was on the championship team.
42:24Bruce Brown, no good.
42:26Oh, oh.
42:282011, they won the championship over Miami.
42:36Nembhard challenged and knocks it in.
42:39Time out.
42:40So they're having trouble corralling Ryan Nembhard.
42:44Older brother once again is in Indiana.
42:46And we're going to see him on Wednesday.
42:50Ryan Nembhard, a two-way player.
42:53As the Nuggets trying to figure out how to stop as quick.
42:57He plays just like his brother.
42:59He does.
42:59He led the NCAA in assists a year ago.
43:04Bruce Brown, guessing he thought he was fouled at the other end.
43:08As the two teams will discuss.
43:14The Nuggets trying to get to their 15th win on the season against just five losses.
43:20We have a moment.
43:21Time now for a live odds update brought to you by FanDuel.
43:25Nuggets an 11 and a half point favorite at the top.
43:30Now they're 14 and a half point favorite.
43:32The money line minus 1,200, Scott.
43:35Total points, 252 and a half.
43:40Dempsey would say that's hot.
43:42Oh, here you go.
43:44Spencer Jones has had quite the first half.
43:49He has been amazing.
43:51He's knocked threes down as well.
43:54But it's not just been threes, right?
43:57I mean, he's done a little bit of everything.
43:58He's playing that low roller that Eric Gordon plays.
44:03Makes some cuts to the basket.
44:04Doing a little bit of everything.
44:06And when you're perfect, there's a whole lot of red.
44:10That is Spencer Jones' own chart, as I was alluding to earlier.
44:14Seven for seven.
44:16Now Jokic has come back in.
44:17He's dealing with Powell.
44:19Murray with the save.
44:2061-51.
44:23Corner three.
44:25Nope.
44:26Watson missed.
44:28Now over to Russell.
44:29Picked up by Cam Johnson.
44:33And he throws it out of bounds.
44:35That's always been the problem with Russell.
44:38DeAngelo Russell, sometimes he looks fabulous.
44:41And then other times he does stuff like that.
44:43I think when he just goes score mode,
44:44he's probably better for what this team needs right now.
44:47Well, remember what Allen Iverson said.
44:50How to cut down on your turnovers.
44:53Don't pass.
44:56Watson to Jokic.
44:57Jokic at the high post against Powell.
44:59Played against him a bunch.
45:01They're grappling.
45:02Jokic in the lane.
45:02Put it up.
45:03And in.
45:04Off the glass.
45:05Jokic 17 here in the first half.
45:09Long lead to Powell.
45:10Not much of a score.
45:11He's kind of the dunker.
45:15Jokic.
45:18Not about so they call him the foul here.
45:20They call the foul on.
45:21Yeah, I'm not saying anything to the officials.
45:23He thought he got bumped down on the other end.
45:25I was being allowed to play kind of physical with him.
45:28So, Jokic picks up the foul his first.
45:37And the free throw is good.
45:40Najee Marshall comes back in.
45:42Russell goes out.
45:43Let's get back to Cooper Flagg for a moment.
45:45Cooper Flagg is just the second number one Dallas overall pick.
45:49Mark Aguirre back in 1981.
45:54So, they've only had two.
45:55Mark Aguirre.
45:56Cooper and Cooper Flagg.
46:0463-53.
46:08Jokic on the move.
46:09Down the middle of the ball.
46:10Oh, spin it up.
46:11No.
46:11Too much English.
46:14Flagg.
46:17Neffar.
46:18Got it.
46:19It plays just like his brother.
46:21Oling is quite as big.
46:23But a scorers mentality for sure.
46:28Nine points for them.
46:30Jokic's gonna bumble it out of bounds.
46:32Got bumped a little bit.
46:34But he's getting a little frustrated.
46:35The pals able to play in this physical.
46:40Jason Kidd wanted to get Anthony Davis back in.
46:43And they say no.
46:44And 335 to go.
46:48The maggots.
46:51Up 63 to 56.
46:54Went a little run.
46:55Flag.
46:56Inside.
46:57Got it.
46:59Keeping track of Cooper Flagg.
47:00He's got nine points.
47:01A three of five shooting.
47:03Now gets to get one of those lows.
47:05David Adelman was talking about.
47:1031 points here in the second quarter.
47:13That's it in the Jokic.
47:14And Jokic is marked.
47:16I'm gonna say no basket.
47:17He's on the ground.
47:18Got bumped.
47:21It's gonna be side out of bounds.
47:23Now Anthony Davis will return for Powell.
47:33No AD.
47:34I'm not sure.
47:35Powell doesn't play him a little better.
47:36A lot shorter.
47:38But a lot more physical.
47:41Murray draws AD.
47:44Alley-oom.
47:44Watson.
47:45No.
47:45Couldn't grab it.
47:48Nembhard is on the run.
47:53Christy for three.
47:55That's good.
47:57The Dallas Mavericks are lighting up the Denver Nuggets at the morning.
48:0112 by 14 shooting the basketball this quarter.
48:05And four of seven.
48:07There misses.
48:08Four of seven from the three.
48:11Cam Johnson shoots a little way short.
48:15Cooper Flagg's got it.
48:16It's the last time.
48:18Anthony Davis lays it in.
48:20Timeout.
48:21Denver.
48:23You know the Nuggets who led by as many as 17 early and that lead is gone.
48:30We are tied at 63.
48:31So David Adelman having to use up his timeouts.
48:35It's a 16 to 2 run.
48:38And you saw the 12 nothing part of it right there.
48:45I told you that Spencer Jones mic'd up.
48:47Let's listen to a little more.
48:49Spencer Jones mic'd up.
48:50I asked you, Scott Hastings.
48:51Could you have to protect all these players?
48:52I got to protect all these players?
48:53I got to protect all these players?
48:54I got to protect all these players.
48:58Spencer Jones mic'd up.
48:58I asked you, Scott Hastings, could you have played in the mic'd up era or were you, was your language a little salty?
49:05I could now.
49:06Oh, I don't know.
49:07How about back then?
49:08Probably shouldn't.
49:09Probably shouldn't.
49:10Although, you know, I'm not always interested in people being mic'd up sitting on the end of the bench.
49:16Пенсор-Jones mic'd up, I asked you, Scott Hastings, could you have played in the mic'd up era, or was your language a little salty?
49:23I could now.
49:25Oh, I don't know.
49:26How about back then?
49:29Probably, probably shouldn't.
49:31Although, you know, I'm not always interested in people being mic'd up, sitting on the end of the bench.
49:37All right, let's hear from Katie.
49:39Guys, David Adelman in that huddle was telling us, guys, right now we're missing shots, but we have to get back.
49:43He said they're running harder than us in transition.
49:45We can't miss shots and then also not defend.
49:48Those two cannot go hand in hand.
