02:11Ольга Реф Беннет-Салбатуре
02:15просто stopped by
02:16the
02:16announced position.
02:20Did he say hello to you?
02:21He did.
02:21He's one of the guys that like.
02:22How sweet.
02:23The old guys like me.
02:25No, not all the old guys.
02:3053-48.
02:32Well, what a screen.
02:33What a screen.
02:34Oh, my goodness.
02:36Murray's got it.
02:37Four to shoot.
02:38Murray's going to have to cast off.
02:40Going right into the corner.
02:41Fall fast.
02:42Baby, no.
02:44And it's a shot clock violation.
02:47You got that double team coming out
02:49in the bigs with you.
02:50Who's open?
02:51And Val was right down that middle of the lane.
02:55Sometimes it's a score.
02:57Let's be honest.
02:57Jamal Murray's a score.
02:58Been fabulous all year.
03:00You try to shoot yourself back into it, you know.
03:03Just five points so far, Scott.
03:05He didn't score the first quarter.
03:08Sar trying to get away from Val.
03:11And puts it in.
03:13And Sar just his sixth point.
03:19A little slow going back up the floor.
03:2253-50 now.
03:24Valanchunas is going to ride it in.
03:30No, give it to Pickett.
03:32Pickett, no.
03:33Val's got it.
03:35And he puts it away.
03:36Get the ball up on the glass.
03:38That's David Adelman's mantra.
03:40Shoot the ball.
03:41If it doesn't go in, run back and play defense.
03:43Five-point lead.
03:50Trey Johnson can't shoot.
03:51Middleton will.
03:52He steps back.
03:53And Middleton hits again.
03:55Far from washed up.
03:56He's been the subject of trade rumors.
03:59A lot of teams would like to have him.
04:00But Washington decides to go super young.
04:04It just depends on that salary, right?
04:06And who can fit it in at this time of the season.
04:10Watson on the dribble drive.
04:13Valanchunas has it.
04:14Put it up and in.
04:15Big Val doing what he does best.
04:18Being big.
04:1933-year-old now with 16 points.
04:23They bored.
04:24And it is 18 minutes.
04:27There it is.
04:29Middleton.
04:31George.
04:35And over the back, Sar pokes it out of bounds.
04:39Well, we've said this so many times over the last two weeks.
04:43Just stay around the rim.
04:44And guess what?
04:45Good things kind of happen.
04:47He just went into the basketball.
04:49There's a pick.
04:49He's going to roll.
04:50Doesn't get it.
04:50Just bodies a little guy out of the way.
04:53And somehow keeps it away from Sar.
04:55Season high for Big Val was 17.
04:58That was in the game.
04:58He got injured in Toronto once again.
05:01Four-point lead for Denver.
05:03Nuggets on the road.
05:06In D.C.
05:07Murray.
05:07Into the lane.
05:09Scoop it up and in.
05:10He took a nice contact.
05:12That's where the young guys.
05:13Pickett's got to look at that.
05:15Murray's able to take some contact in there.
05:17But he's trying to finish.
05:19Not fall down to the ground.
05:20He's trying to finish.
05:21Sar right by Val.
05:23Oh!
05:24And Watson was there.
05:26Oh, doctor with a block.
05:27Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
05:29Third for Watson.
05:31Carrington lets it go and hits.
05:33Shoot enough, you're going to finally get one to follow.
05:36Oh, he is not shy about getting those shots up.
05:38It's 11th three-point attempt.
05:46Murray against George.
05:48He's going to say on the ground.
05:53Murray draws the foul.
05:56He's going to get a couple of free throws.
05:58He had 42 against Washington last Saturday.
06:04Fouls on George.
06:05He doesn't like it.
06:06He's got 12 points, 10 rebounds.
06:08So he's got a double-double.
06:09Good-looking young player.
06:10There's a point when you love having youngsters on your team.
06:17But then, oh, and George reaches out
06:20and pokes Valanchunas in the beard.
06:23Lucky he has it.
06:24Wizards foul.
06:24Charves to number 18.
06:26You take the hair on George and the beard on Valanchunas.
06:31And you've got Sasquatch.
06:38Val can take a punch.
06:40You know, you get the rebound.
06:42You get the banging, the screening.
06:44You forget how much you missed it when you sit down injured.
06:47But you don't miss the slap in the face.
06:50Saw George go out with four fouls now.
06:52Now Gordon against Middleton.
06:54Gordon turns, shoot.
06:55Yes.
06:58Gordon had a great first third of the season
07:02before the injury.
07:04Trying to work his way back into the Gordon zone.
07:10so to speak.
07:19So 61-56 our score.
07:23Before we go to break,
07:23let's head back to Chris Dempsey
07:24for the Intermountain Health Sports Break.
07:26Now on the floor.
07:27Let's run through some of the scores for you.
07:38We have the Houston Rockets and the 76ers.
07:42That is a battle between Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid.
07:46Kevin Durant with 22 points, Embiid with 18 in that game so far.
07:49Sixers up by one.
07:50Hornets smashing the magic right now.
07:53The Warriors lead the Mavericks.
07:55And the Timberwolves early are leading the Bulls by 13 points.
07:59Offense looking much better so far in the third quarter for the Nuggets.
08:02The play here in the third quarter, the Nuggets leading by five.
08:06And so far, Peyton Watson has been a defensive wizard with four blocked shots.
08:14And they've all been kind of spectacular.
08:17That's the most mundane block he's had.
08:20Blocked the guy coming in for a dunk late.
08:22Blocked the big guy trying to lay him.
08:24Give me that.
08:25I've heard that.
08:26And then that one right there just on a seven-footer trying to go up and dunk.
08:31You saw the season high.
08:34Games with 20 points.
08:35He's got 13 this season.
08:38Embiid Watson maturing.
08:39In January averaging 22 last game against Washington, he had 21.
08:46So becoming very consistent.
08:48They've got him on Bub Carrington now.
08:52Middleton.
08:53Middleton trying to draw the foul.
08:56So just get the shot off.
08:57He does.
08:58He misses.
08:59And Watson's got it.
09:02Watson's sitting on 20 points.
09:04Murray's trying to get warmed up.
09:08Watson steps in.
09:09No one.
09:10It hits again.
09:11No.
09:12Peyton Watson, the former UCLA Bruin, lighting things up.
09:16He's got 23 to go with seven rebounds.
09:20Spencer Jones on to guard Middleton now.
09:23Now Bubbles.
09:24Or Little Bub, they call him.
09:26Let's it go.
09:28Peyton, he went in for the rebound.
09:31And to stay out.
09:33A lot of the Nuggets do that.
09:34Once the shot goes up, they go right to the glass.
09:36And with these long rebounds, the flat shots are just, they're ricocheting deep.
09:42So the Nuggets by eight here, trying to get some separation from the Wizards.
09:47Inside Watson.
09:50Nuggets want the basket to count.
09:51And they're going to see, did it hit the rim?
09:55Did it hit the backboard first?
09:58Wizards foul.
09:58Watson's appealing.
09:59Let's see.
10:02Oh, that did hit the backboard first.
10:05I guess you could.
10:07I don't know if you could challenge.
10:08You could challenge a foul, which you're going to get.
10:12Middleton picks up his third foul.
10:14That hit the backboard.
10:15But it was below the rim.
10:17But I don't think that matters.
10:22Free throw good.
10:23Hey, tired of replacing your roof every couple of years?
10:25Break the cycle.
10:26And get your roof for a lifetime from Red Hawk Roofing.
10:29Go with the pros.
10:29Red Hawk Roofing.
10:31Along with Katie Winge, Scott Hastings, and Chris Marlow.
10:34We're out on the road with the Denver Nuggets.
10:37First of three at Milwaukee tomorrow night.
10:40And then on to Memphis.
10:41Nuggets will fly early, trying to miss the Arctic storm that is coming.
10:47Watson with his sixth 25-point-44 game this season.
10:53And the Nuggets have pushed their lead back to 10.
10:57The floater in the lane.
10:58That's good.
10:59Dre Johnson, who looks like a budding scorer,
11:03puts it in just 19 years old from Dallas.
11:06Murray's got it.
11:17He knows what to do with it.
11:19Six to shoot.
11:20Murray leap and lean.
11:22Yes!
11:23And a foul!
11:24And this might be a four-point play.
11:26Was it the feet behind?
11:29I think they were.
11:30With the feet behind, he can lean and land over this line.
11:33Sure.
11:34Yeah, that's a four-point play.
11:37Well, the foul on Champagne.
11:39Don't see many four-point plays, but Murray up to the challenge.
11:43Remember, he had the 56-footer against the Lakers to close out the half.
11:50And Murray, indeed, the four-point play.
11:54So the Nuggets with their biggest lead, 70-58.
11:58Five minutes to go, third quarter.
12:05Champagne.
12:10Little foot for Sarr at all.
12:12And the bucket is good.
12:16Shoot the basketball.
12:17Yeah, and he likes to shoot.
12:18They were talking about that, how far he shoots.
12:21He got a question about that.
12:23And he has unlimited rage out there.
12:25A lot of rookies on this team, Scott.
12:31Lots of youngsters.
12:33No Murray.
12:35And threw it away.
12:38He's getting himself too deep.
12:39The ball picked up that time.
12:42Now Trey Johnson, he's hot.
12:44And he knocks in another one.
12:45Someone better guard him.
12:46Talked about his outside shooting.
12:51The aptly named Trey Johnson.
12:55Nuggets by six.
12:56We'll be back.
12:56Yeah.
12:59To you by HCA Health 1, dedicated to the health and well-being of our community
13:03and creating a healthier tomorrow.
13:06By Pathwater, the exclusive water partner of the Denver Nuggets.
13:10And by your local Ford stores.
13:12Ready, set, four.
13:14And a slugfest so far in the nation's capital.
13:19Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, Katie Winge.
13:21Nuggets, just a moment ago, Scott, led by as many as 12.
13:25But a couple of threes have cut that to a six-point lead.
13:30Nuggets trying to find some motivation.
13:33David Adelman trying to get his club going.
13:36And get their 30th win on the season against just 15 losses.
13:49Now third quarter play, just over four minutes to go.
13:54Murray's got 11, if you're wondering.
13:56After that four-point play, turns the corner, come underneath, scoop it up, and in.
14:01And so, Jamal Murray, do you see him getting rhythm now, Scott?
14:04Well, he got that one right there.
14:06He's just, I think he's over-committed on a couple plays.
14:09He's got four turnovers.
14:12But when he gets the basket like that, he's as good a finisher really around the basket as there is in the league.
14:18Eight points in the quarter.
14:22Trey Johnson had it deflected.
14:23He saw right to him a-gimme.
14:26They came in the middle.
14:27The weak side hurt help.
14:28He said, I'm in front of Sar.
14:29Actually, lead left him alone.
14:32It was helping up.
14:33Sar, eight points, four rebounds, four assists.
14:38Murray wants the screen.
14:39No.
14:40He wants to go at Bubb.
14:45Murray.
14:45And looks like we've got a defensive three-second violation.
14:51Defensive three seconds.
14:52Murray will shoot a free throw.
14:53This is something that David Adelman talked about in the pregame shot.
14:57Pregame, Scott, when we were talking, sometimes the offense gets stagnant when there's too much dribbling.
15:01Yep.
15:04There's still a lot of screen away, bringing guys over, dribble handoffs, a lot of movement, pick and rolls.
15:10The rolling as he misses the free throws off.
15:14But the rolling really doesn't happen unless foul's in there.
15:19Well, the Nuggets who haven't lost three straight this season.
15:23Four teams can say that.
15:25OKC, Spurs, and Detroit, the other three.
15:28Oh, one.
15:31Watson's got a step off the glass.
15:35Beautiful.
15:3774-66.
15:41Well, they alley-oop to Sar.
15:46Sar scores easily.
15:48And Denver takes a timeout.
15:49The timeout before that was the first one they've called all game is Watson holds an ankle.
15:55That is not good.
15:58The head athletic trainer for the Denver Nuggets.
16:03He just came down wrong here.
16:07Kind of came down.
16:08I'm not sure that they get his foot stepped on when he landed.
16:14Maybe.
16:15On the ground.
16:16Looked like maybe the foot got stepped on.
16:18The blue shoe.
16:19And the body keeps going over.
16:20Yeah, the one guy that's actually rolling and playing pretty well tonight.
16:29Watson for 27 and 7.
16:318 of 13 shooting.
16:335 of 6 for 3.
16:34Now get this low zero-down lease on a built-forward tough F-150 for just $4.79 a month.
16:48Well, a six-point lead.
16:56They're attending to Peyton Watson.
16:58Can't afford to lose another body.
17:01Of course, the Nuggets are playing without three starters tonight.
17:03You know it.
17:04Nikola Jokic, good news.
17:05He was out doing a workout tonight.
17:07First time we had seen him prior to a game and looked good.
17:13Christian Brown and Cam Johnson.
17:16Also in the time rotation.
17:18There's Cam.
17:20Well, I asked David during the break or during the presser that, you know,
17:25not only are you going to get these guys,
17:26but now you've got to worry about getting conditioned, getting game time conditioned with them.
17:29You're all going to have, you know, limited minutes, what you can do.
17:34Watson out now is they're going to have to find somebody that can be a score.
17:37Murray's inside.
17:38Missed it.
17:39Trying to save is Bruce Brown.
17:41He does, but it goes right to the Wizards.
17:44Will Riley has come on.
17:46He's a legitimate gutter.
17:48Up and under he goes and scores it.
17:51Will Riley!
17:53A 12-point lead, and you kind of let him right back in it.
17:57See how the final 2-15 plays out.
18:0212-4 run by Washington.
18:05Murray.
18:08He's just nothing easier.
18:09Underneath the Najee, and Najee puts it away.
18:14Good hands by the big fellow there.
18:15Nothing easy for Murray, but they are starting to concentrate on it again,
18:19so if you can make passes like that, watch what happens.
18:2430 points in the paint for Denver.
18:25Now Bruce Brown has the steal.
18:27He's got Spencer on the wing.
18:28Bruce, right it in.
18:29No, Spencer.
18:31His shot is blocked out of bounds.
18:34Off him.
18:35It'll be Wizards basketball.
18:37Listen, you've got to know people are coming up behind him for Spencer.
18:40When he gets his rebound, he's going to use that strength of body.
18:44Bruce just didn't get over the rim.
18:45See, he feels somebody there, but he's getting pushed underneath and tries to go up.
18:49He's got to take time, drop step, power step back into the defender.
18:55Oh, that's a bailout.
19:01They've got a lot of guys that are scoring dudes.
19:05They'll take him back and examine him, perhaps.
19:17May re-tape him.
19:18Let's hope he's okay.
19:21See if we can get some kind of report from Katie on him.
19:23Hey, AFW brings you the highest quality furniture at the best prices anywhere
19:29when you can't be at the game.
19:31Best seat in the house is American Furniture Warehouse.
19:35One more for the 19-year-old Will Riley.
19:39He doesn't wear number 27 as a tribute to Murray.
19:42His dad, Ray, was number two, and he always wore number seven.
19:46And so when he got to the NBA, he merged the two.
19:49That's the report, at least.
19:50Look at the free throw shooting.
19:51It's been incredible.
19:54Now Murray against Bubbles.
19:56Over the top.
19:58Yes, and a foul.
20:00And Bubb Carrington going to be whistled there.
20:03Murray definitely getting a little bit of a Murray flurry here in the third.
20:09He's just taking him.
20:12Wizards foul charts at number 27 home, Riley.
20:15Murray gave the old fall down at the end of a two.
20:18He's fading, but she carried it up there tight on him.
20:22Murray's got 10 in the quarter, looking for more.
20:30Nails it.
20:34Murray, 16 points, five assists.
20:38The Nuggets up by seven.
20:40Oh, win the last minute.
20:42Yeah.
20:43Win the last minute.
20:45Carrington again.
20:48And Murray on the defensive glass.
20:50Yes, no conscious when he's shooting at three.
20:54Murray.
20:56He's doubled.
20:57Lab is good.
20:58And a Murray flurry underway here in D.C.
21:02So 13 in the period for Jamal Murray.
21:06And the Nuggets lengthened their lead to nine.
21:08And the foul on Zeke Najee.
21:18That's his first.
21:20He stepped back.
21:21He did a three.
21:22He stepped back, hit a two a while ago.
21:24Now he's just kind of putting him in the spin cycle, getting him up and in.
21:27And I'm sure he's always had it.
21:31But it seems like this year his left hand has been as nice and nasty as anybody we've seen play.
21:37They have such an advantage in the NBA.
21:42Let's go over to Katie.
21:44Guys, Peyton Watson back on the bench for the Denver Nuggets.
21:46He did some walking, some jumping, some bending after being evaluated with the Nuggets strength staff, sports science staff, medical staff.
21:53I believe he is going to go back into the game.
21:55There's been no injury update there.
21:57So even though he's just getting some rest here, he should be good to go in the fourth.
22:01Okay.
22:01Thank you, Katie, for that report.
22:03And the Wizards missed two in a row there after making 14 straight.
22:12Murray.
22:17Hardaway.
22:19Bruce Brown after it.
22:21Oh.
22:23And a foul call.
22:25Bruce kind of gets those tough calls.
22:29He's always after the basketball.
22:30I liked the play when I saw him launching there.
22:33He just...
22:33Well, when the ball's in the air, there's no possession.
22:35Let's see.
22:36Yeah, he just grabbed the arm.
22:38Easy call to make.
22:42So two fouls on Bruce Brown.
22:45Wizards back at the free throw line.
22:47Washington.
22:53Jameer Watkins is at the line.
23:00Knocks it in.
23:00Hey, if you're injured, no attorney is more qualified to know and to speak about your injuries
23:05than the doctor, who's also a lawyer, Dr. Joseph Ramos.
23:07That's RamosLaw.com.
23:10Nuggets led by two at the half.
23:14Got it up to 12, 70-58.
23:17That was with five minutes remaining.
23:28Missed there.
23:29Hardaway's got it.
23:30Let's see Hardaway make a bucket to end the third quarter.
23:33Could get it right here.
23:34Ten seconds to go.
23:36Murray.
23:37Hardaway's open.
23:38And now they steal the ball.
23:41And the dunk.
23:43Double-team game, and you've got to get the ball out of your hands sooner rather than later.
23:49He...
23:49No.
23:52And that is the end of the third quarter.
23:55By and large, a good quarter for Denver, and an excellent quarter for Jamal Murray, who had 13.
24:0381-75.
24:04We head to the fourth.
24:05You're watching Altitude Sports on 9 News.
24:08That was our refreshing rewind presented by Ball Corporation.
24:35All in for the Nuggets.
24:36Aluminum all in.
24:3781-75.
24:38We start the fourth quarter.
24:40The Nuggets barely outscoring Washington in that period.
24:45They're going to get Jalen Pickett back, play it more confident, lead the team.
24:49You're the point guard in this group right now.
24:51Got to be assertive.
24:54Trying to get the ball to Payton.
24:55Payton kind of came up too soon, and then all of a sudden got overplayed by George, I believe.
24:59I think it's been playing well, but he's here tonight for some reason.
25:02Finally, he's going to shoot it.
25:08Although, oh, he's passing.
25:10Look what happened.
25:10Nice play.
25:11Pickett.
25:12Weak side.
25:13Get in front of your guy, Scott.
25:14You talk about that all the time.
25:15That weak side guy.
25:18They get looking for Valanchunas.
25:19Couldn't get it to him.
25:21Now they got it in a big foul.
25:22Oh!
25:23With the left hand.
25:23Missed it.
25:24The only shot he's really missing was little touches.
25:31Now George back out to Saar.
25:35Saar working his way inside.
25:38And that's going to be a foul.
25:42Denver Nuggets foul.
25:43Now I think, yes, that'll be four on Valanchunas.
25:47Now Bruce went for the steal instead of just staying and make Saar shoot a tough one over him.
25:54Val helping him out.
25:55Val and him play together, obviously.
25:58And an accidental tap to the face.
26:01Doesn't look like they're going to look at it.
26:03So Saar will shoot free throws.
26:04Free throws, big story tonight.
26:06Both teams, where each team has made 15.
26:10Wizards 15 of 18.
26:12Let's go over to Katie.
26:13You're talking about Jalen Pickett.
26:16In the 11 games that he's played in in January, nearly 11 points per game, 5 rebounds per game, 4 assists per game.
26:22I noticed in the first half what you guys were talking about, him being a little bit frustrated with his play.
26:26He went right over to the bench during one of the timeouts and was talking to one of the player development coaches that works him out, Cam Griffin.
26:32Kind of getting his viewpoint on the game, what he could do better.
26:34And then J.J. Barea also came over and was talking to Pickett, too.
26:37So when he's down in games like this, he has a coaching staff and specific coaches that he went over to to help pick him up.
26:43He changed his perspective a little bit.
26:44And listen, J.J. Barea is not the biggest guy in the world, but the one thing he did whenever you played him, he was always a pest.
26:50He was always attacking.
26:51He was always grinding.
26:53Grinding you.
26:54And I think Jalen could really go a long way listening to him.
26:58Yeah, Barea had to fight.
27:00He had Moxie.
27:02And Watson.
27:04Hardaway.
27:06Toughest shot of the night.
27:07Missed badly.
27:08And Watson.
27:1181-76.
27:12That group we said in the second quarter with that offensive struggle really happened.
27:16Back in again.
27:17And Watson with a nice deflection.
27:19So Watson, not sure if that was ice on his ankle, but he's back in there.
27:24That's good news.
27:2527-7 and 3 for Watson, plus 4 blocks.
27:29And they got Watson guarding Keyshawn George.
27:35George with a double-double, 12 and 10.
27:39Oh, got Riley.
27:41Didn't switch.
27:42Miscommunication on the other side.
27:45Tim Hardaway went with the guy low, and so did Jalen.
27:4981-79 now as Washington within two.
27:52Here's the three-point story.
28:00Watson's in the lane.
28:01Give it to Val.
28:03Valachuna's going to pop it up.
28:04No.
28:06And following it up was Bruce Brown.
28:08Right into his hands.
28:12Bruce Brown on the spot there.
28:17George in the lane.
28:19And he throws it up in.
28:20It's just too easy.
28:22And the Denver didn't talk about any timeouts earlier.
28:27They're trying to get some, these guys, this group going just a little bit.
28:31Tight action here at the Capital One Arena.
28:35Nuggets by two.
28:38Food deserves Pepsi.
28:40By Meritrust Credit Union, where your financial well-being is our purpose.
28:43And by the Colorado Honda dealers.
28:46Visit your local Colorado Honda dealers today.
28:48Lincoln Memorial looming.
28:53Jared Dudley talking to Jalen Pickett.
28:58Probably about defense, but maybe about offense.
29:02I just think he needs to be just more aggressive.
29:04Turn up the aggressive meter and start playing like he did in Philadelphia,
29:09where he was taking shots and commanding the ball.
29:12A lot of these guys have earned some extra minutes.
29:14You know, when everybody gets back, that being said, you've got to continue to earn.
29:19Pete Watson bringing the ball up against Trey Johnson.
29:21There's pressure, and there's a struggle.
29:24He turns it over.
29:26Jalen Chudas has it.
29:28They jump on top of them.
29:29No call.
29:32And they're going to jump it up.
29:34See, it's too much pressure.
29:36No real ball handler.
29:37They can pick it, struggle a little bit, so I give it to Peyton.
29:41He's going to tighten up the handles a little bit.
29:43Walker just on him.
29:44He spins and he just loses it.
29:46It's the spin move, I think, that's been a concern of it.
29:51He scores if he gets it through.
29:54He gets it through the thicket.
29:56Call a jump with Sar.
29:59We didn't even know Sar got his hand in there.
30:03Surprised that Bellantunist he could call for travel.
30:05He was rolling around pretty good with the ball.
30:09I think the ruling there is there's no possession,
30:12and that's why there's no travel.
30:16There's a ball in your hands, cradle to your chest,
30:19and he's in possession anymore.
30:29Well, that's going to be a loose ball foul,
30:30Bellantunist, where his fifth.
30:32Loose ball foul.
30:33Charged to Denver.
30:35Number 17, Jonas Bellantunist.
30:37That's his fifth first.
30:38And one official wanted to re-jump.
30:42That's a weak foul.
30:44Don't see much there, but it's five on Bellantunist.
30:48Bellantunist has a hand down on the chest.
30:51Not much, but just enough.
30:54Bellantunist has to go out after a promising start.
30:5816-9 for Bellantunist.
31:01He's replaced by Aaron Gordon.
31:03So Gordon to play center against Sar.
31:05They're pushing and shoving already.
31:07You've given Washington hope is what you've done.
31:10They're the one with the energy.
31:13George trying to get away from Watson.
31:18Spencer Jones on Riley.
31:19Block!
31:20Jones!
31:22And the follow-up.
31:24This is something that has killed the Nuggets
31:26in the absence of Jokic and Bellantunist.
31:29The offensive rebounding by the opponent.
31:31See how many people go to the glass
31:33and how many people stand and watch.
31:35Good block by Spencer.
31:40And you're just kind of caught not knowing what's going to happen.
31:44Let's go over to Katie.
31:46The rebounding that you guys are talking about
31:47is something that has also been brought up
31:49in almost every single Nuggets huddle tonight.
31:51David Adelman, that last time out,
31:52telling his guys wallop at the rim the best we can,
31:54but do not leak out.
31:55All five need to go in and rebound.
31:57They're really trying to take away easy baskets.
32:00Washington now 13 offensive rebounds for 12 points, guys.
32:03Yeah, and not shooting the basketball well, Katie.
32:06They're only shooting 38%,
32:07and yet you're in a tie game
32:09because you're turning the ball over too much
32:11in that third quarter,
32:12and you're giving too many points off second chance.
32:1511-2 run for the Wizards.
32:17That was trying to get into their offense.
32:19Now Gordon steps back for three.
32:21That's no good.
32:22Wizards have it.
32:23One pass, and then a three step back to shoot him.
32:30George went on Watson.
32:32Banging.
32:33Tough shot.
32:34Good defense.
32:35Can the Nuggets get the rebound?
32:36Spencer fighting for it.
32:37Got it.
32:38Nuggets.
32:39Go.
32:39Could run it up.
32:40Bruce Brown by his man.
32:43And it rolled off.
32:44Brown gets it back.
32:45Give it to Gordon.
32:47Pop it out.
32:48Bruce on the run.
32:50Score!
32:51Big play there.
32:52Well, I thought Bruce could have dunked that first one
32:54and tried to finger roll it late,
32:56but stayed great with it.
32:57He went and got it back.
32:58Eight and a half to go.
33:00The Nuggets up by two.
33:02On the road.
33:04Alley-oop to Sarr.
33:06Nuggets surround him.
33:07He misses.
33:08Pick at the rebound.
33:10Pick at the middle man.
33:11Give it to Brown.
33:12Over to Watson.
33:13He has stated.
33:14And Watson is fouled.
33:18Hurt that ankle late in that third quarter.
33:21He's been a little bit hesitant.
33:24I thought he had a three.
33:25He's five or six, I think, for shooting the three.
33:28He's the one guy you wouldn't mind taking it.
33:30Watson, excuse me, Watkins the foul.
33:33He's third.
33:34He's going to be side out of bounds.
33:35Pick it.
33:47Should have a shot right here.
33:49Pump fake.
33:50Out to Watson.
33:51Long spinner.
33:52Go to it!
33:54As I said, he's still one guy making those shots.
33:59Six made threes.
34:00Ties the career high.
34:01He's only missed one.
34:05Five-point lead for Denver.
34:12That's a moving screen.
34:17Up and over and out.
34:19It'll be Denver basketball.
34:20Denver Nuggets.
34:22Watson, his fourth game with 30 or more points this season.
34:28His high is 32 at New Orleans.
34:32He continues to play.
34:33He will get that.
34:349-14 overall.
34:366-7 for three.
34:376-6 from the free throw line.
34:41See if the Nuggets can execute here.
34:43Bruce Brown on the run.
34:45Puts up a tough shot.
34:46No.
34:47That was a lot of contact.
34:49Probably got away with that one.
34:50Pursuing Saar.
34:52Pursuing Saar.
34:53Wide open.
34:54Around and out.
34:56And Spencer Jones doing a nice job on the defensive glass.
34:59Little things here.
35:01Seven minutes to go.
35:03Regulation.
35:04Pickett under to Gordon.
35:05And Gordon slams.
35:08Pickett.
35:08Pickett waited until just the right moment.
35:13He waited and waited and then delivered to Air Gordon.
35:19Seven straight points for the good guys.
35:29Low.
35:30Get pumped for two-in-one comfort with heat pumps.
35:32Nuggets getting pumped.
35:36They have scored seven straight.
35:37Lead 90-83.
35:39Time out for the drive of the game.
35:41Brought to you by your local Ford stores.
35:43Ready, set, Ford.
35:44It's Jamal Murray and it's Scott Hastings described it.
35:51The sea parting as Jamal Murray making the move.
35:57All that's missing is Charlton Heston.
36:00The sea parting.
36:03Well, he got on a flurry at the right time.
36:08Now he's back in the game.
36:10He had five in the second at halftime and scored all five of those late in that quarter.
36:18Then went a little fire in that third quarter.
36:23Wizards, George, Middleton, Carrington, Watkins, and Gill.
36:27The five on the floor.
36:28Nuggets.
36:29Watson, Gordon, Pickett, Murray, and Jones.
36:33Remember, Balanchunas picked up his fifth personal.
36:38Defense a little more lively.
36:39Looks like for Denver right here.
36:40A little bit.
36:41Getting some switches.
36:43Over to Middleton.
36:44Started by Murray.
36:45Shot clock running down.
36:46Tough shot.
36:47Middleton, no.
36:49And the Nuggets come up with it.
36:51And once again, it's Jalen Pickett.
36:52Yeah, Biggs are fighting it, tapping, tapping.
36:54And if a guard will just hang around the lane like Pickett just did, that's perfect.
36:59Pickett with five rebounds.
37:00He had six against the Lakers, which was the leading rebounder in the game.
37:04And Watson again.
37:05So, Watson with 32.
37:11And that ties his career high.
37:18And a wrestling match underneath.
37:20Let's see who they got this on.
37:21Biggs is going to come out.
37:25You mentioned the first day, but the floaters really come on.
37:29George is down at the door.
37:31Call the foul on Watson on the other end.
37:35George.
37:35Clank's one in there.
37:41And Peyton Watson with a knife.
37:46That's how you stack numbers in the NBA.
37:49And Watson has gone from a nice role player ascending with all the injuries.
37:57Once again, the Nuggets missing the three starters tonight.
38:00Wizards missing Trey Young, Bilal, Koulibaly, and Marvin Bagley who are all out.
38:08We're hoping to get Trey Young back soon.
38:09And Watson has got a little trouble with it.
38:13This handles.
38:15Watson four to shoot straight away.
38:18Carrington the rebound.
38:2192-85, Denver.
38:26Weak side and offensive rebounding.
38:28And that's Peyton came over to block that shot.
38:32No one drops down on his guy and gets the offensive rebound.
38:40And they get shots up.
38:42Murray does and hits.
38:43Jamal Murray.
38:44If you're going to pressure Murray that far out, he's got to just take it.
38:48Yep.
38:4994.
38:49Oh, what a play by Murray.
38:52Deflection by Watson.
38:53And then Murray just came out of nowhere to save it.
38:57Wow.
38:59Five minutes to go.
39:03Now Gordon.
39:05Take it in on Gill.
39:07You betcha.
39:08Gordon tries to power it up.
39:10And he's fouled.
39:12Watch Peyton Watson is going to get his fingers on the deflection on the long pass out.
39:18There's Murray for sure.
39:19There's a deflection.
39:20What a fabulous all-around game by Peyton Watson.
39:26I know we're touting Murray here.
39:27But those two guys, some really nice stuff.
39:33And Gordon seems to be back on the beam at the free-throw line.
39:37And now Saar will come back in.
39:39And it is Alex Saar.
39:45Gordon with 13.
39:49See Trey Johnson check back in for the Wizards.
39:52Remember, he's the shooter.
39:54Yep.
39:57Nugget's trying to grind one out on the road.
40:00Now Gordon makes a couple.
40:02Gordon five for five from the free-throw line.
40:05Came in in January 25 of 39.
40:07He missed 14.
40:08Not tonight.
40:11There's the shooter.
40:13He don't need a long time to warm up, does he?
40:19No, he doesn't.
40:20Good player for you.
40:21A lot of guys like that.
40:23Offensive guys.
40:24They're offense and defense here.
40:2528th and 29th.
40:26So they're not really good at either.
40:29But they can get hot.
40:31Murray around Carrington.
40:32Murray in the lane against Carrington.
40:34Going to fall away and shoot his patented shot.
40:36Gets fouled on him.
40:38Well, Washington, one timeout left.
40:42And the reason for that, they took the first five timeouts of the game
40:46were all Washington timeouts.
40:48Didn't take a timeout.
40:49Nice note there.
40:50Until 4-18 in the third quarter.
40:54Fouls on Carrington, his second.
41:01Shot Bevy's Liquor World in Littleton.
41:03Bevy's Liquor World in Parker.
41:04Four fouls in wine.
41:06Five fouls in spirits.
41:08And three fouls in beers.
41:11You mentioned Murray averaging 29 and a half and nine assists.
41:17Both marks the highest for Murray in any calendar month of his career.
41:24Chris Marlowe, Scott Hacin, Katie Wenge.
41:25Nuggets trying to close out the pesky, perky Wizards.
41:28And the star deflected by Murray.
41:34He fronted.
41:35They switched.
41:36He had the big guy just fronted.
41:39Low pass lob up and a great hand again by Jamo Murray.
41:43Neither team in the penalty or the bonus yet.
41:47Watson, bounce pass to Murray, over to Gordon.
41:50He sets, he fires.
41:51No, short.
41:53Wide open, that was a good play.
41:56Read that right.
41:58Now George cruising in for the left.
42:03Now he's trying to just get out of town with a victory here, Scott.
42:08So George with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
42:13And the Nuggets' lead is 7.
42:19Let's look at some of Peyton Watson's game tonight.
42:22He's been outstanding on both ends, Scott.
42:26Scoring, but the defense has been there too.
42:29Yeah, no, he made five of, what, or six of his first seven threes.
42:33He scored other ones also, but he had four blocked shots at halftime.
42:38He was just taking care of everything.
42:40And then, remember, he turned that ankle but still came back.
42:45I think he had 25 when he turned that ankle.
42:50So he came back and is still putting up some numbers.
42:53Got seven rebounds too.
42:55And, listen, I don't think there's any reason.
42:57I don't know if you agree or not.
43:00If Peyton Watson couldn't average seven rebounds.
43:03That's doable.
43:04He's so athletic and so long.
43:07He's always near to guarding some of the best players.
43:11So he should be always around that rebound range.
43:15Hey, put the financial professionals at Vectra to work for you.
43:18Big enough to count, small enough to care.
43:20Learn more at VectraBank.com.
43:24So the Nuggets with three and a half to go.
43:26Lead by seven.
43:30Aaron Gordon tonight, 14-5-5.
43:33We mentioned the Watson, 32.
43:35Valachunas, 16-9.
43:37Murray now with 22.
43:40Full-court pressure on the Denver Nuggets now.
43:47What's going on there?
43:52That's a miss.
43:52Murray cradles the rebound.
43:55Nuggets can't have three guys in a little pod there with three defenders.
44:00It's not the way you do it.
44:01And Watson is fouled.
44:02So Watson will get a chance.
44:05I tell you what, he has played great tonight.
44:08But he has had some loose handles tonight.
44:11He gets to stick them on them mitts of his.
44:14So fourth team foul.
44:15So no free throws yet.
44:17Watson breathing heavily.
44:18He'll bring it inbounds.
44:20Nuggets trying to snap a two-game losing streak.
44:23They haven't had a three-game losing streak this season.
44:26They had two last season.
44:28Now Murray puts it up and off the mark.
44:33Wizards have it.
44:34Carrington over to George.
44:37Long-range three.
44:38No good.
44:39And Spencer Jones clears.
44:42Close rebound from Spencer.
44:44I'm sure they are all in the second half.
44:49Under three minutes remaining.
44:52Now Gordon pulls up and hits.
44:55Aaron Gordon knocks in a 12-footer.
44:59And the Nuggets right to 100.
45:01And lead by nine.
45:06A floater in the lane.
45:08That's good.
45:09Back the other way.
45:10So Trey Johnson doing his thing.
45:12He's got 19.
45:13Big hit and hit a screen rub up top and just never got back into position.
45:18Wizards have five with double figures, but it's not enough at the moment.
45:23Inside.
45:24Murray again.
45:27Now Jamal Murray grinding it out.
45:29He's got 24.
45:3119 of them in the second half.
45:33Middleton for three.
45:35That's no good.
45:36And another rebound for Spencer Jones.
45:40So two minutes to play.
45:42The Nuggets by nine.
45:44There's the numbers for Jamal Murray.
45:47Added some good defense too.
45:48Watson winding up.
45:55Middleton wants him to look at it.
45:58Washington has one timeout left.
46:01And the coach is, he just raised like, hey, I got one.
46:04Now Watson grabbing the left ankle.
46:08Now Watson plays a high-flying game, Scott, in terms of, let's just.
46:18They are going to challenge.
46:20They'll take their last time out to challenge it.
46:23They'll get it back.
46:26They'll get it back, I think.
46:28Well, they said they're looking at something.
46:31They're ruling on the floor of the common foul.
46:32We're going to go look for a potential flagrant foul.
46:35Well, there you go.
46:35So it's not a charge to Washington.
46:38We saw them do the little twirly finger.
46:44Middleton wanted him to challenge it.
46:46It said the left arm was on Middleton.
46:48It was, but he's clotheslined by Middleton first.
46:53You know, it's always about the fall, too, and the landing.
46:57Watson went down hard.
47:03Nuggets trying to hand Washington.
47:06It's eighth straight loss.
47:12Landed on that ankle again.
47:14But that knee, you see that knee, hyperextended.
47:18They've had enough hyperextended knees.
47:21About to say that.
47:22They didn't hit him in the head, but he got him good.
47:28But he clothesline him right there.
47:30See an arm around the thing.
47:32Well, it's around his chest, right?
47:33Yeah.
47:34But still defenseless guy in the air.
47:36So we wait.
47:41Here's the interesting thing.
47:42We've got a bit of 50 employees to take care of business with this game, and that's important.
47:46Yeah.
47:47You've got a back-to-back.
47:48How many of these guys are we seeing tonight?
47:49Are we going to see tomorrow?
47:50All of them.
47:52You think?
47:52Yeah.
47:53Why not?
47:53Who else is there?
47:54I'll reach in my bag.
47:57I've got some clues.
47:59You've got your gym gear?
48:02I've got my gym bag with some clues in it that I can give you.
48:08They're disgusting.
48:09It's flagrant.
48:10He is clotheslined.
48:15It's a dangerous position.
48:17Kevin Cutler.
48:17After review, the play on the floor stands is a comment file.
48:19There was no wind-up, no impact, no follow-through.
48:21Two shots for Peyton Walker.
48:22Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
48:23No impact?
48:27What's your definition of impact?
48:32It'll wind-up, but he did reach out to make sure he wouldn't go up.
48:36Yeah, there's some impact there.
48:36Yeah, I mean, if there's no impact, I would argue this to the NBA officiating.
48:42If there's no impact, why is there a foul?
48:44What's it checking to see if he's got five fingers on the left hand still?
48:56And now they're challenging.
48:57Now Washington is challenging whether or not Watson's offense.
49:04He fouled it.
49:08They just spent two minutes watching it.
49:10Now they've got to spend another two minutes.
49:11Well, so Brian Keith is going to try to see if they can get this to an offensive foul.
49:22This coach's challenge presented by Meritrust Credit Union, where your financial well-being is our purpose.
49:27Remember, you get one challenge.
49:29If you win it, you get another.
49:31Yeah, but they just took their last time out to get it.
49:35Yeah, they did.
49:35And they've already had their mandatory, so I believe they'll get it back.
49:38So you're right, they would have another challenge.
49:41No timeouts, no challenges.
49:42So they will get it back if they were to win this one.
49:47But they're calling for an offensive foul first.
49:52But what goes first?
49:55I mean, the left arm's there, but, you know, where's the cross first?
50:02He doesn't extend the arm.
50:03It's up in a brace position.
50:06But, you know, if you're down nine with a minute 50, and they're going to the line, you might as well challenge this.
50:13Yeah, good challenge by Brian Keith.
50:15Can't take him home with you.
50:18The officials.
50:24Remember what they called was the foul on Middleton, so they would have to have clear and conclusive evidence to overturn.
50:30After review, defensive foul stands on Chris Middleton.
50:33Unsuccessful challenge.
50:34Thank you.
50:34All right, there you have it.
50:35Kevin Cutler giving us the word.
50:38It's close, though.
50:39Close.
50:40There was definitely contact.
50:41Yeah.
50:41But it's got to be conclusive.
50:43Like I said, if Watson arms extends, then I think that you'd probably have a bigger argument.
50:50He braced it.
50:51They've told us in the meetings you can brace.
50:53Yeah.
50:54You just can't extend.
50:55Impact.
50:58It's a foul, so there obviously is an impact.
51:02All right, Peyton Watson at the line.
51:04Looking for a new career high.
51:07He's sitting on 32.
51:10And he's got it.
51:12He can't play tonight.
51:15Wow.
51:17Offense, defense, and special teams.
51:19The Nuggets have made 20 of 21 free throws.
51:22That has helped.
51:23When your margin of error is slim, you're absolutely right.
51:27That helps.
51:28And Watson drops to 34 for Piwatt, as he's known.
51:32And that is a line, folks.
51:37104-93.
51:39Nuggets just got to play smart now for the final minute 40.
51:45Carrington.
51:45George under to Saar.
51:49And Saar giving a concession basket.
51:55They're pressuring Murray.
51:57Got to blow right through it.
51:58Go.
52:00Watson.
52:01Thought about it.
52:04Now Murray runs the clock.
52:05They're going to double.
52:07Gordon's wide open.
52:09Instead, Watson.
52:10And he's going to try it again.
52:12No.
52:13I'll tell you what.
52:15Watson's got something my mom used to talk about with me and my brother.
52:18Youthful exuberance.
52:20I still don't understand why you foul a guy.
52:23You let the shot clock go down to seven.
52:25And then you grab him.
52:26I guess as opposed to giving him the dunk.
52:32It's off a late shot clock.
52:36Save the point.
52:39Crowd likes that.
52:41One more for Peyton Watson.
52:43Well, no rushing up.
52:44Start shooting some threes.
52:45And I think you get a tick-fil-a sandwich.
52:48If you miss two in the fourth.
52:52Nope.
52:53No sandwich for you.
52:54No, Sammy.
52:57So, ten-point lead.
52:58Minute 15 remaining.
53:00You know, Katie one time on the road with him.
53:02And they had a sandwich win.
53:04Actually went and tried to get one.
53:06Did they give it to him?
53:07No.
53:08Too bad.
53:10Now Watson doubled.
53:11They had to pick it.
53:13So, we want to hold it.
53:15If you can't see, do that right there.
53:16Get you some free throws.
53:18Pick it.
53:18You have to score tonight.
53:210 for 4.
53:22Yeah, but he's got five assists and five rebounds.
53:25He's done little things.
53:27It's better to do the big things.
53:28But Galen Pickett will head to the free throw line.
53:38Nice.
53:39First one good.
53:40First point tonight.
53:45I've got a stat for you, Scott.
53:47But I'm not going to say it until Pickett shoots.
53:50Hasn't missed a free throw in January.
53:52All season.
53:53All season.
53:54There you go.
53:55Nine for nine for Jalen Pickett.
53:59So, that equals the biggest lead of the night for Denver.
54:04Nuggets postgame live coming up.
54:05Presented by Toyota.
54:07Pick Lombardi, Chris Dempsey will be there.
54:10And they'll talk about winning the first game of this three-game trip.
54:16Murray doubled.
54:16Give it up to Gordon.
54:18Final 40 seconds.
54:19Gordon trapped.
54:20Pickett's got it.
54:22No need to rush.
54:23Might not even shoot it.
54:29Six on the clock.
54:30Crowd standing.
54:31They know this one is over.
54:35The Nuggets are going to snap a two-game losing streak.
54:39They're going to improve to 30-15 overall.
54:44And an NBA-most 18 wins on the road.
54:48Wizards are going to drop to 10-33 on the season.
54:526-17 at home.
54:56Shot by violation position.
54:58Washington.
54:59Final seconds.
55:0121.1 remaining.
55:05And this is going to be a satisfying win for David Adelman.
55:08Absolutely.
55:09Munder.
55:09Well, let's see.
55:14Yeah, Katie will like that.
55:16The Munder is coming.
55:17As the Wizards draw it out.
55:20So, the Nuggets hand Washington its eighth straight loss.
55:24And they start the road trip on a high note.
55:27Ryan Keith and David Adelman.
55:36Swapping stories.
55:38So, a good win.
55:38The big story of the night, I think, at least to start, was the return of Jonas Valanciunas.
55:44Valanciunas got in some foul trouble.
55:45And then the load picked up by Peyton Watson right there.
55:49And Jamal Murray.
55:51They carry the Nuggets in that second half.
55:55Great to have Big Val back in the lineup.
55:57As the Nuggets do what they needed to do.
56:03And they win it 107-97.
56:08Well, I just saw, you know, here's something else to think about with this team eight straight.
56:11They made that big trade.
56:13Trey Young still in street clothes.
56:15Not playing.
56:17Yeah, and they're not sure when he's coming back.
56:20Gordon 16-5-5.
56:23And once again, a nice win for the Denver Nuggets by 10.
56:26All right, let's go to Katie.
56:28Standing by with Peyton Watson.
56:31All right, Peyton.
56:32Washington didn't make it easy.
56:33They made you work for it down the stretch.
56:35What was required of your group in order to seal the deal in this one?
56:38Just heightened focus, tightening up the little things.
56:41And I think rebounding as a group, I think last time we played them in Denver,
56:44we allowed them to kind of control the glass.
56:46And that helped them stay in the game.
56:48Tonight, I think we were a lot better.
56:49New career high for you tonight.
56:50You've been sensational in the month of January in particular.
56:53What are you most proud of in your personal evolution right now?
56:57Just the fearlessness.
56:59The audacity to go out there and do it against the best in the world.
57:01That's what means the most to me is the mindset and the mentality behind it.
57:04And four blocks tonight.
57:06I believe all of them came in the first half.
57:08When you go up and you make a defensive play like that,
57:10what are you thinking in the aftermath of that?
57:15I don't know.
57:15It's kind of hard for me to say because things move so fast in the game.
57:18But just helping my teammates out, having my teammates back,
57:21and them knowing that they could trust me on that back line.
57:24How did you feel the impact of Jonas Valanciunas being back in the lineup tonight?
57:27Oh, it was amazing.
57:28His inside presence, his strength, the way that he made his presence felt out there.
57:34I just love the guy.
57:36And I'm glad to have him back.
57:37You feeling okay?
57:38Yeah, I'm feeling all right.
57:39A little beat up, but I'll be all right.
57:40Congrats on the win.
57:41Thanks, Pete.
57:42Fabulous night for Peyton Watson.
57:44The Nuggets have now won their last five road games.
57:47What impressed you of what the Nuggets did tonight?
57:50It was one of the ugliest offensive games I've seen in that first half.
57:54And yet, I thought in the second half, they came out in the second half, scored 59,
57:58and played much better.
58:01Peyton Watson continues to grow and surprise.
58:04And listen, who knows?
58:06You've got a chance to win another back-to-back tomorrow in Milwaukee.
58:09It's going to be tough, and let's go.
58:11Get on the road.
