00:00:31Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz rising star Keontae George, he starts with Elijah Harkless, who's a G-League phenom, averaging 29
00:00:40points a game down there.
00:00:41Kyle Filipowski, Cody Williams, the former buff, and the rookie, Ace Bailey.
00:00:50Nikola Jokic.
00:00:52The triple-double machine.
00:00:57How do you figure that's going to work, Scotty?
00:00:59Those two guys together.
00:01:00Utah starts pretty good size, though, and they probably just want to start this with a little bit of size
00:01:05in there.
00:01:06But we'll see how you go in the backup.
00:01:09You heard Katie talk about David Adelman saying,
00:01:13hey, let's try to keep either Joker or Murray on the floor all the time.
00:01:16So, it'll be interesting.
00:01:19Let's watch it.
00:01:20Listen, Balanchunis only played nine minutes last night.
00:01:22David Adelman still without Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson.
00:01:27Cam Johnson is also not available.
00:01:30He's out with an ankle injury.
00:01:31And Spencer Jones with a shoulder.
00:01:34So, Adelman facing off with Will Hardy.
00:01:40He's in his fourth season.
00:01:41You might remember he took over when Quinn Snyder stepped down in 2022.
00:01:47Interesting, that was the last time Utah made the playoffs.
00:01:51So, on the tap, Utah has it.
00:01:53One thing they do really well, Scott, they're very fast.
00:01:56They have the second fastest pace in the NBA.
00:02:00So, underway.
00:02:02Mitchell Irvin, Andy Nagy, Pat O'Connell are officials.
00:02:05Now, first shot on the way, and it's out of bounds.
00:02:10No, Ace Bailey off the mark there.
00:02:12The number five overall pick in the draft.
00:02:16Utah had the worst record a season ago, but only able to get the fifth pick.
00:02:24So, the first possession for the Denver Nuggets.
00:02:28As we mentioned, fifth in the West.
00:02:29They got a smaller man into Jonas, and Jonas is fouled.
00:02:33So, the Nuggets going to run a little high-low, get the big guys involved early.
00:02:37Now, they had to foul him in order to keep it from being a basketball.
00:02:41They switched everything, so they had Harkless up top on Joker.
00:02:45He just picked him apart.
00:02:47Filipowski, the first foul on him.
00:02:51Now, the handoff to Murray.
00:02:52Like to see a really efficient, good game by Murray tonight
00:02:56as he is hacked on the way to the goal.
00:03:01Filipowski, I'm not sure if he gets the call or not, but he got hit right on the funny bone.
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:07So, Jamal Murray will head to the free throw line.
00:03:10He had 27 points against Utah in the win three days before Christmas.
00:03:22First one's good.
00:03:23Murray's free throw percentage is 87.5%.
00:03:27Nuggets free throw shooting has been a little iffy lately.
00:03:30Wouldn't you agree?
00:03:31Yeah, I'd agree.
00:03:32Remember, there's a time Murray just a few weeks ago was flirted with 90.
00:03:36So, it's gone down.
00:03:37He missed a couple even in yesterday's game.
00:03:40The team is shooting 80.5%.
00:03:42Which is pretty good as a team.
00:03:43Pretty good, but they've come down from 83%.
00:03:45Now, they're sixth in the league.
00:03:47So, Utah has it.
00:03:48Utah's struggling 18 and 42.
00:03:51Tough shot there, and that's going to be a whistle and a foul on Christian Brown.
00:04:00Now, Christian Brown had a season-high 23 against Oklahoma City, 15 and 6 against Minnesota.
00:04:07Missed a bunch of games, you know that.
00:04:10Trying to get all the way back physically and mentally.
00:04:13And Keontae George, who's having a breakout season, averaging 25 and a half.
00:04:21He misses the first.
00:04:23He's an 89% free throw shooter.
00:04:29The Jazz, one of the poor teams in the league.
00:04:33They have lost five straight.
00:04:35Coming off two straight home losses to the Pelicans.
00:04:41129-118, 115-105.
00:04:44They play hard, though.
00:04:46So, don't think you're just going to come in here and wander.
00:04:48The pass to Jokic is bad.
00:04:50It's a bad pass.
00:04:52Now, Ace Bailey takes some big steps right in.
00:04:56See, what you do with a team that you're probably better than a paper, you don't give them extra easy
00:05:02stuff.
00:05:04Now, Julian Strother, who's been quiet the last two games now.
00:05:08Jonas!
00:05:09Valanchu on that early.
00:05:11And the Nuggets take the lead 4-3.
00:05:14Jonas getting a chance to go high-low, and it looks like he likes it.
00:05:18He played less than 10 minutes in each of the last two games, so trying to figure out a way
00:05:22to get him involved, and maybe this is it.
00:05:25Long range 3 is on the way.
00:05:26No good.
00:05:27Murray's got it.
00:05:30Nuggets on the road.
00:05:31You're no good.
00:05:3221-12.
00:05:33The pass into Jokic.
00:05:35Spot up.
00:05:36Strother.
00:05:37Missed it.
00:05:38Filipowski the rebound.
00:05:39Get out, buddy!
00:05:40Get out!
00:05:42Get out!
00:05:42Get out!
00:05:43Get out!
00:05:43Get out!
00:05:43Get out!
00:05:43Get out!
00:05:43Get out!
00:05:43Get out!
00:05:44Get out!
00:05:45Get out!
00:05:47And the jumper is good by Keontae George.
00:05:52We should mention that Utah also shorthanded.
00:05:57They're missing six regulars, including three starters, and the pass gets away from Jokic.
00:06:06And it's going to be a whistle and a foul.
00:06:09Nuggets have had some issues, Scott, and I know you're big on this because you were an excellent passer.
00:06:15Placing the ball in the right spot so the receiver can get it without being harassed.
00:06:20Well, it starts at the post.
00:06:21You've got to be able to hold the guy off.
00:06:22But second, you've got to be able to make the pass.
00:06:26And sometimes it's just lazy and angles.
00:06:30Just a dribble in one direction will give you a better angle at times.
00:06:35And those last two turnovers Denver's had, two turnovers in two minutes, it's cost of points.
00:06:44Now get this low zero-down lease on a built-forward tough F-150 for just $479 a month.
00:06:52I'm Tim Hardaway Jr.
00:06:55Coming in quickly for Denver.
00:06:58Cody Williams
00:07:01started five straight prior to tonight.
00:07:05Six in a row.
00:07:0721 of the last 24 for this Jazz team.
00:07:10He hasn't shot the ball very well, but they're hoping he can develop.
00:07:15And Christian Brown, they're playing the small ball defense on Jokic.
00:07:19Guys should draw the foul, didn't get it.
00:07:23Rebound Williams.
00:07:28Now Keontae George.
00:07:34Passing to Filipowski.
00:07:36No good.
00:07:37But he'll shoot too.
00:07:39Yeah, you got caught watching the action up top and just let a guy cut in front of you.
00:07:43That old coach tell me, years ago, you never let a guy cut in front of your face.
00:07:49And that's all that Filipowski did is right in front of Jonas.
00:07:53Nuggets playing drop defense there.
00:07:55So Kyle Filipowski is at the line.
00:07:58He's a 22-year-old.
00:08:01He's been playing the four.
00:08:02He's been playing some center for the Jazz.
00:08:06Remember the Jazz?
00:08:07Boy, they're missing.
00:08:08Jaron Jackson Jr.
00:08:11Walker Kessler.
00:08:12Lowry Markin is out.
00:08:14Nurk hurt his nose.
00:08:15He's out.
00:08:16Vince Williams with a knee.
00:08:1726 different starting lineups for the Jazz this season.
00:08:24They have an all-star looking bench.
00:08:28And they're building for the future.
00:08:30There they are.
00:08:32The entire gang.
00:08:358-4 Utah here in the early going.
00:08:39Glad to win this on altitude.
00:08:40Nuggets trying to snap a two-game losing streak.
00:08:43Now Murray draws Filipowski.
00:08:45He's got a one-on-one in.
00:08:47Murray into the lane.
00:08:48Falling away.
00:08:48Tough shot.
00:08:49Got it.
00:08:51Well, you've got one-on-one.
00:08:52They're switching everything.
00:08:53So you've got Murray on a big.
00:08:55Then you've got two guys underneath for the rebound.
00:09:00And a good play by Jokic.
00:09:04Jokic deflecting it.
00:09:05And that went right off Cody Williams out of bounds.
00:09:08Now Jokic, one of the best centers in the league.
00:09:11One of the best players in the league at deflections.
00:09:13Long arms, big hands.
00:09:14Murray's got a look.
00:09:154-3.
00:09:18He has it.
00:09:20A fast break.
00:09:23And Murray was there on defense.
00:09:26It was heartless.
00:09:28A little bit out of control there.
00:09:30All they're doing is trying to front Jokic with whoever gets to guard him.
00:09:36Now Christian Brown out to Murray.
00:09:38Extra pass hard away.
00:09:42That's either got to make the move or not make the move.
00:09:46Got to go.
00:09:46That's third turnover.
00:09:48And he ended up in the points every single time.
00:09:51And Keontae George leveled in the backcourt.
00:09:54David Adelman's upset.
00:09:56They're allowed to just grab and hold Nikola Jokic.
00:09:59The officials have allowed it.
00:10:04A little harder way.
00:10:06A turnover in Jokic.
00:10:08And Keontae George.
00:10:10Some grappling going on here early.
00:10:13Trail the Jazz by four early in the first quarter.
00:10:16We've mentioned Cam Johnson is out tonight with right ankle inflammation.
00:10:20David Adelman talked about it after the game against Minnesota and said that really hindered
00:10:24what he was able to do on the floor.
00:10:26But there is a mental side to what these players are battling as well.
00:10:29And Cam Johnson addressed that postgame.
00:10:34You know, every time that you felt down that, you know, you can't really, don't really feel
00:10:41like you're seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
00:10:43Just feel like you just keep letting yourself down, letting your teammates down, that every
00:10:46time that's happened, you know, I've been able to turn it around, you know, get back on
00:10:51track some way, somehow.
00:10:54Hasn't knocked me out of the game completely yet.
00:10:58Every player goes through tough stretches, guys, and you can hear it in his voice.
00:11:01How much Cam cares when he's talking about finding the other side of this.
00:11:05He said he has to continue with that trust in himself.
00:11:07Coach Adelman, his teammates, this locker room, they all have reiterated the trust that
00:11:11they have in him, too.
00:11:12Got to get that ankle right first.
00:11:13But I think all of us are confident that Cam Johnson will be back better than ever.
00:11:17Yeah, Cam is a good player.
00:11:19He has been struggling with the confidence.
00:11:21But he is shooting 40% from three.
00:11:24So all those naysayers out there that says he can't shoot, he can.
00:11:28He's just in a little bit of a slump right now.
00:11:30Now, as Christian Brown...
00:11:35He euros to the bucket.
00:11:37Now, he wants to get a word in.
00:11:41And it's 10 all.
00:11:44Now, Jokic gets it going to little buddy.
00:11:47And little buddy off to the races.
00:11:51I know we're tied up at 10.
00:11:53It's time now for the whole story presented by AdventHealth.
00:11:56Reminding us to never underestimate the human spirit.
00:11:59Well, the Nuggets are 1-0 against the Jazz.
00:12:01The first game, the Nuggets jumped out to a 19-0 lead early.
00:12:07Largest ever to begin a game in the play-by-play area for the Denver Nuggets.
00:12:131-35, 1-12.
00:12:16That was in the first four minutes.
00:12:18They tied a franchise record of 24 made threes in the game.
00:12:25And you look at the winning streak at the moment.
00:12:29Seven straight against Utah.
00:12:32Including three in a row here at the Delta Center where they've had all kinds of issues over the years.
00:12:37It's been a house of horrors, but the Nuggets seem to have turned things around.
00:12:41They had a layup.
00:12:43Right there in another errant pass.
00:12:46David Adelman trying to figure out how to blend in all the guys.
00:12:50Helen Chunas with the loose ball.
00:12:53Christian Brown, alley-oop.
00:12:55And Hardaway smashes it down.
00:12:59Christian Brown facilitating.
00:13:01We're tied up at 12.
00:13:08Riding into the lane.
00:13:10That's no good.
00:13:11The tip is no good.
00:13:12And the Nuggets clear.
00:13:13The Nuggets should have rebounding superiority, at least on the defensive glass.
00:13:18With Jokic and Balanchunas in there.
00:13:21And some good screening.
00:13:22Now Murray's free.
00:13:23Over to Christian Brown.
00:13:24He sends.
00:13:24He fires!
00:13:25And he gets the triple.
00:13:28Christian Brown has been scoring the last Utah game.
00:13:31The last Utah series a year ago.
00:13:35Four games.
00:13:35Christian averaged 18 a game.
00:13:37Murray's got it.
00:13:39Murray going to ride it in.
00:13:41And he is fouled.
00:13:44Cody Williams to pick up the foul.
00:13:47We're starting to turn Utah over.
00:13:49And you get one right there.
00:13:50And here you go.
00:13:52Get it to the middle.
00:13:53See, I like breaks.
00:13:55But I can lead a break, too.
00:13:56And just a perfect pass.
00:13:59Catch it in stride.
00:14:00Goes up.
00:14:01Lays it.
00:14:02Lays it up.
00:14:04It's on a highlight, too.
00:14:12Hey, tired of replacing your roof every couple of years?
00:14:15Break the cycle.
00:14:16Get your roof for a lifetime.
00:14:18From Red Hawk Roofing.
00:14:19Go with the pros.
00:14:20Red Hawk Roofing.
00:14:25Hardaway Jr.
00:14:28Stays in.
00:14:29Alan Tunis goes out.
00:14:31Bruce Brown has come on for Denver.
00:14:35Murray makes two.
00:14:36He's back on the beam at the free throw line.
00:14:41Murray made six of 12 threes in that December 22nd game.
00:14:45Now, long range.
00:14:47That's no good.
00:14:49Jokic has the rebound.
00:14:51Jokic a walking triple-double this season so far.
00:14:54He's got 22 of them.
00:14:56Now, Murray, pass it out to Christian Brown.
00:14:58Good fake.
00:15:00Had the lane.
00:15:01Didn't take it.
00:15:01Murray over Keontae George.
00:15:04Yes!
00:15:06Now, Jamal Murray getting off to a good start here, Scott.
00:15:10On the verge of a Murray flurry.
00:15:12He's got 11.
00:15:13And a 10-2 run for Denver.
00:15:14Mm-hmm.
00:15:1620-12 now.
00:15:21George.
00:15:24NFL.
00:15:26Used to shake him, man.
00:15:27That's a rookie getting that call right there.
00:15:29And you see why he's averaging 25.
00:15:31He's counting his toes and then stepping back.
00:15:35Boom.
00:15:38Not sure that Keontae George.
00:15:44He's a true point guard, but boy, he is a scorer.
00:15:47Good combo guard.
00:15:48Filipowski has a little bit of three-point range.
00:15:51Jazz are 34% as a team.
00:15:53He's going to shoot the three.
00:15:56Off the mark, and Hardaway with a rebound.
00:15:59Got to have the guards rebound in this situation with Alan Tunis out of there now.
00:16:03Murray lost it.
00:16:04Tried to shovel it over to Joker.
00:16:07And it wasn't quite in the same area code.
00:16:12Now, long-range three.
00:16:14That is good.
00:16:15Chanchar.
00:16:16You know, he can shoot him over that trade from Memphis.
00:16:20Mm-hmm.
00:16:21John Canchar.
00:16:22Chanchar.
00:16:28It's 20-15 early.
00:16:32Bounce under Hardaway.
00:16:34Nobody guarding him.
00:16:35And he puts it away.
00:16:36That was George standing in the corner, kind of watching the play.
00:16:39And just a good cut by Tim.
00:16:43Now, Ace Bailey wraps it in.
00:16:52Now, the rookie brings the Jazz to within four.
00:16:56He's got a couple good-looking rookies.
00:16:59Mm-hmm.
00:17:00Building the youngsters.
00:17:01Now, Bruce Brown, three.
00:17:03That's no good.
00:17:04Jokic inside.
00:17:05Couldn't grab it.
00:17:08Jokic has not scored yet.
00:17:10He's only taken one shot by a long-range Tanchar once again.
00:17:15He's going to be happy here.
00:17:17He's going to have a green line just to go.
00:17:20Came over with Jared Jackson, Jr.
00:17:22Jazz had to give up three number-one picks and a foul there.
00:17:28Three number-one picks.
00:17:29And some players going back to Memphis for Jared Jackson, Jr.
00:17:34But they think he'll fit with Walker Kessler.
00:17:37They've got him.
00:17:38They've got Filipowski.
00:17:39There's Jackson, Jr., a terrific player when he's healthy.
00:17:48But unable to play tonight.
00:17:50Now, Murray comes out.
00:17:5111 first quarter points.
00:17:56And Jalen Pickett comes on.
00:18:00Brown goes out.
00:18:05Jokic.
00:18:05It's off Jokic's leg out of bounds.
00:18:07Had the moon.
00:18:08First time looking aggressive to go.
00:18:10Just a little reach from behind.
00:18:12Deflected it.
00:18:13Nuggets went 12-2.
00:18:14Now the Jazz have gone nine-to-two.
00:18:22Bailey.
00:18:24Long and ranky.
00:18:25It gets to the rock.
00:18:27This is a straight drive.
00:18:28Just going to stay in front of the guy.
00:18:30And Utah has the lead.
00:18:38Strother picked up by Conchar.
00:18:42Inside to Jokic.
00:18:44Jokic shot blocked.
00:18:45And Jokic gets it back and puts it in.
00:18:49Got great awareness.
00:18:50Anytime he misses, it's a surprise to most, but not to him.
00:18:57Again, I've seen this for three games in a row.
00:18:59Really beating up on Jokic.
00:19:02Svee.
00:19:04No good.
00:19:05And the Nuggets come up with it.
00:19:07Svee Mikhailuk has come on.
00:19:08The kid from Ukraine.
00:19:14Inside Jokic puts it up.
00:19:16No.
00:19:16Water polo.
00:19:17Yes.
00:19:18So again, he's trying to get the foul.
00:19:21They're just looking at him.
00:19:2326-23.
00:19:25Nuggets.
00:19:26By three.
00:19:29Here's Svee.
00:19:33Bounce pass underneath.
00:19:35Jokic covers it up.
00:19:36And around the corner.
00:19:38A nice work there.
00:19:41Nice sheep way.
00:19:45Now Jokic in the lane.
00:19:47They batted it away.
00:19:49And Jokic is fouled, I think.
00:19:52Yeah, I think Bailey got his arm wrapped in a round.
00:19:59There's Bailey.
00:20:00Let's the arm going there.
00:20:04Reaches.
00:20:07Now Nikola Jokic to the line.
00:20:10He's got the 22 triple-double shooting 82.5% from the free-throw line.
00:20:17Wraps it in.
00:20:18Hey, game on.
00:20:20Red Bull's in play at Circle K.
00:20:21By three for 6.50 on any Red Bull Energy 8.4-ounce drink.
00:20:28Now Bryce Sensibar.
00:20:29One-time Ohio State Buckeye comes on.
00:20:34And another free-throw coming for Jokic.
00:20:36Jokic on the season averaging just under 29.
00:20:4012 and a half rebounds.
00:20:41Ten and a half assists.
00:20:44Shooting 57%.
00:20:4540% from three.
00:20:48He had that spell.
00:20:50He couldn't make it three.
00:20:50But he's really a fool after that.
00:20:54That's his bad one-on-one defense.
00:20:56That's all that was.
00:21:01Blitz the paint on the easy drives.
00:21:04Pickett.
00:21:05And Pickett rocks the Kasbah from deep.
00:21:09Jalen Pickett getting a chance to play.
00:21:12And you know how you get more minutes in this league, Scott.
00:21:15Take some shots.
00:21:16Stop some people.
00:21:17One of the two.
00:21:17There you go.
00:21:19Nugget switch.
00:21:21McKay Luke on the run.
00:21:24Tough corner three.
00:21:27Good contest by Strother.
00:21:30Don't know if he got a piece.
00:21:32Hardaway pulls.
00:21:34Missed it.
00:21:42The bucket is good inside.
00:21:46Isiah Collier, who's more of a pass-first point guard.
00:21:50But he is a good player.
00:21:56Jazz guarding with the smaller man.
00:21:58Joker try around the corner.
00:21:59Puts it out of an inch.
00:22:00Sheboy got there, but late.
00:22:01But you see the bodies on him reaching.
00:22:04And then the officials are allowing smaller guys right now to beat up on Joker.
00:22:09But he's been more aggressive here in the last two or three minutes.
00:22:12He's taking advantage of it.
00:22:14So, 34 seconds remaining.
00:22:15Jokic, 8-6 so far.
00:22:17That's off the mark.
00:22:20Rebound Shibwe from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
00:22:25And the throw is good.
00:22:26Shibwe.
00:22:42Shibwe.
00:22:42Jokic with a smaller man once again.
00:22:44Here comes Shibwe.
00:22:45And the Jokic pass.
00:22:47Missed the mark.
00:22:49But Kailuk's going to pull.
00:22:51He does.
00:22:52Got it.
00:22:58They call Sfi the Uke Rainmaker.
00:23:04And we've got a timeout.
00:23:06We head to the second quarter.
00:23:08Jazz on top.
00:23:10Denver Nuggets basketball and altitude sports brought to you by Pepsi.

00:23:31Today, a better idea for health care.
00:23:36Nuggets fans are in the house.
00:23:38Lots of them coming up.
00:23:39Scott, myself, and Katie saying hello.
00:23:41That first quarter, kind of a wild rollercoaster ride as Murray knocks it in.
00:23:46Scott, what stood out to me, six turnovers cost him 11 points.
00:23:50Yeah, 11 points just absolutely get you.
00:23:53They had 12 points in the paint.
00:23:55Probably eight of them were off the turnovers.
00:23:57Jazz ended that quarter on a 7-2 run.
00:24:00But Zeke Najee has come on.
00:24:02So he's going to play with the second unit.
00:24:04But Kyleuk, no.
00:24:05Pickett has it.
00:24:06Snap it out to Brown.
00:24:11Good look.
00:24:11Murray's wide open.
00:24:13And he missed it.
00:24:16Now, here come the Jazz.
00:24:23But Kyleuk rocks it.
00:24:26He just come in shooting.
00:24:28He's stepping up.
00:24:29When I get the opportunity, let me shoot the rock.
00:24:33Eighth season in the NBA.
00:24:35His eighth different team.
00:24:37So he's been passing around.
00:24:39But he can shoot the basketball, that's for sure.
00:24:41Now, Murray, guess speed.
00:24:43Look at the bench points.
00:24:44Utah already with 20.
00:24:46Wow.
00:24:46Murray's shaking the bacon.
00:24:48Go ahead, pick it open.
00:24:52And the shot is off.
00:24:53Sheboy with a rebound.
00:24:58That's just going right on a weaker defender.
00:25:00Knocked him out of the way and lay it up.
00:25:02Now, Utah, as we mentioned, the second fastest pace in the league.
00:25:08As Collier making it in and put it on the bench.
00:25:12Off the bench, I should say.
00:25:14Now, Straubin, long-range three.
00:25:16That's good.
00:25:16Well, the Nuggets answer back.
00:25:19We're tied at 39.
00:25:21And timeout called.
00:25:25Well, the Denver Nuggets have made five of 11 threes.
00:25:29Jazz have made five of 13.
00:25:33And Murray has 14 points.
00:25:37Be right back.
00:25:4139-39 time now for the Jiffy Loop fast break.
00:25:45In and out in a jiffy.
00:25:48We're getting a lot of fast breaks tonight.
00:25:50Nuggets got one of their own.
00:25:53And Christian Brown running out.
00:25:57The Jazz already with 16 fast break points.
00:26:01Brown with two of his own.
00:26:04And nice body control there.
00:26:06So Christian Brown with five early points.
00:26:09He's on the bench at the moment.
00:26:11His last season against Utah.
00:26:13Very, very good.
00:26:16So out of the timeout.
00:26:18Save the Nuggets and get going here.
00:26:20Strother, Brown, Murray, Pickett, and Zeke Najee.
00:26:29Step back, jumper around and out.
00:26:31Najee with the rebound.
00:26:33Big minutes for Zeke.
00:26:35Important game for the Nuggets trying to snap the losing streak.
00:26:40And Strother right to the goal.
00:26:42And good to see Strother's had a couple of struggle games.
00:26:44Good to see him being aggressive.
00:26:47And Strother just two points yesterday in 17 minutes.
00:26:51Najee comes up.
00:26:53Collision with Conchar.
00:26:56And that'll be a foul on Zeke.
00:27:00Najee picks up his first.
00:27:04He had better opportunity, Cat's head, than Conchar good.
00:27:08Seemed like it.
00:27:09Sense of all.
00:27:10He's got some three-point range.
00:27:12Now Collins.
00:27:13Collins in the lane.
00:27:14Put it up in the end.
00:27:15He made it look easy.
00:27:16Yeah, I watched him roll up today.
00:27:19Looks a little bit like the guy they used to have here named Mitchell.
00:27:23But he used his body the same way.
00:27:25He gets that shoulder into it.
00:27:27Forces the defense backwards.
00:27:29And he makes it.
00:27:30Strother.
00:27:31Short.
00:27:38Look, I look.
00:27:41Look, it's looking.
00:27:42Good to trade pitch.
00:27:43Half-ray pitch.
00:27:44They're living for threes.
00:27:45Sense of all for three.
00:27:47Bryce Sense of all shoots 34 and a half percent.
00:27:50He's in his third season.
00:27:52Down the middle of Najee.
00:27:54Sets up Strother.
00:27:58Pick it for three.
00:28:00Nails it.
00:28:00We'll think about.
00:28:02Jalen, he doesn't hesitate from that three.
00:28:04He's just rather missing a three.
00:28:06He had another three right here.
00:28:07It didn't take it.
00:28:09Pick it does not.
00:28:10He does not hesitate.
00:28:12Each team has made six twos.
00:28:16Now, I've got another three on the way.
00:28:19That one's good, too.
00:28:20That's your low guy helping out on the opposite side.
00:28:24And that makes the wing on that zone have to go a long distance.
00:28:28Utah bench has scored 30 points.
00:28:31Nuggets just 10 so far.
00:28:33Strother, tied again.
00:28:35Got it.
00:28:35No hesitation.
00:28:37No hesitation.
00:28:37No hesitation.
00:28:38Shooter.
00:28:38You're a shooter on this team.
00:28:40They need shooters.
00:28:42We've got a little bit of a shootout here.
00:28:44We're tied at 47.
00:28:47Sense of all.
00:28:48He checked.
00:28:49Nope.
00:28:50Murray, the rebound.
00:28:52Murray with 14 in the first quarter.
00:28:56Najee's got it.
00:28:57Got to look to score there.
00:28:59Got the one-on-one.
00:29:06Strother holds the trigger.
00:29:08That one's no good.
00:29:09Sense of all the rebound.
00:29:17Collier, elbowing Murray.
00:29:21And the Nuggets give up a hole right under the bucket.
00:29:25Cheap away.
00:29:26Go to Collins.
00:29:28He likes to use that body.
00:29:29He's getting away with being physical.
00:29:31Strother has eight of the last 11.
00:29:34Najee knocks in the bucket.
00:29:37A triple.
00:29:38And the Nuggets go back up 50-49.
00:29:41I like it when Zeke's aggressive offensively.
00:29:44I see him more as a scorer rebounder than I do as a facilitator.
00:29:54Smee.
00:29:57Got it again.
00:29:58And a Jazz red hot.
00:30:04Jazz have made eight of 17 threes.
00:30:07Nuggets made eight of 16.
00:30:12Murray.
00:30:14Got a good look.
00:30:15Terrible.
00:30:17A late contest there.
00:30:19Threw off the rhythm.
00:30:22Now the Nuggets with subs coming back in.
00:30:24Nikola Jokic.
00:30:26Christian Brown coming together.
00:30:28Jokic 8.6 rebounds
00:30:30in his first 12 minutes.
00:30:38Five on double.
00:30:40Five on double.
00:30:44Keontae George is also back in.
00:30:46Filipowski on the corner.
00:30:48Three off the side of the backboard.
00:30:50Look at Filipowski.
00:30:53Look at that elbow.
00:30:54Good job.
00:30:55Got the defender off of it.
00:30:57Laid it in.
00:30:59Nuggets trailing now.
00:31:0054-50.
00:31:02This equals the Jazz's biggest lead.
00:31:09Sense of awe.
00:31:12He picks up his first.
00:31:15He now gets the ball out of bounds.
00:31:16Hardaway Jr.
00:31:17Going to come back in.
00:31:18Replacing Murray.
00:31:20Or is it?
00:31:21Yeah.
00:31:22Murray played most of those minutes
00:31:24with that second unit.
00:31:25David Allen talked about changing things up
00:31:27a little bit that way.
00:31:29Jazz led by one
00:31:31at the end of the first quarter.
00:31:32You just joined us.
00:31:35Nuggets had led by as many as eight.
00:31:37But Utah catching up.
00:31:40And Strother.
00:31:42Can't get the ball to Jokic.
00:31:44Strother in the lane.
00:31:46Sets up Hardaway.
00:31:47Great look there.
00:31:48Hardaway missed it.
00:31:52Keontae George on the way.
00:31:54Scored.
00:31:55So that just can't happen.
00:31:56You miss a shot at the ball.
00:31:58He's rebounded.
00:31:59At the baseline level.
00:32:02It just beats you down.
00:32:04Your biggest lead in the ball game
00:32:06until that as Hardaway answers straight away.
00:32:1056-53.
00:32:13Tim Hardaway.
00:32:14Seven points off the bench.
00:32:16He had 17 yesterday.
00:32:18But the bench unable to match Minnesota.
00:32:23Need to get more guys.
00:32:24He's contributing.
00:32:27He's hitting a lot of high screens.
00:32:30Ace Bailey.
00:32:33Let's it go.
00:32:34That's no good.
00:32:34And the rebound flies to Bruce Brown.
00:32:41Hardaway.
00:32:42And the rebound.
00:32:43In front of the iron.
00:32:45That's the ball the rebound.
00:32:49Corner three.

00:37:42Four years ago on this date, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points.
00:37:4736 for 63, made 28 of 32 free throws, 25 rebounds, and played all 48 minutes.
00:37:56Pretty incredible.
00:37:57The free throw thing for Wilt and his career, the 28 of 32, is what probably is the most amazing
00:38:04thing.
00:38:05And one of the great MVP races of all time.
00:38:08Wilt, who averaged 50, Oscar triple-double, Elgin Baylor spectacular, along with Jerry West.
00:38:14Who won it?
00:38:14The great Bill Russell.
00:38:16Yeah, the guy that was on the championship team only averaged 18.9.
00:38:20And 25 rebounds.
00:38:22Yeah, and Wilt still out-rebounded it.
00:38:27Well, that's a great debate.
00:38:30The MVP.
00:38:32Of course, championship rings are important, and Russell did win 11 of 13.
00:38:39Nuggets trying to get untracked here.
00:38:41They haven't hit their stride.
00:38:42Down the middle to Bailey.
00:38:44And Bailey's shot is short.
00:38:57They're paying a lot of attention under to Brown.
00:39:00That play works beautifully.
00:39:03They double that quick.
00:39:04You've got to have people come over.
00:39:08Somebody's open.
00:39:09But Nuggets on a second night of the back-to-back.
00:39:12Played yesterday.
00:39:13Lost to Minnesota.
00:39:15So, no rest.
00:39:17You have to get this one out.
00:39:19They've been pretty good at it throughout the season.
00:39:22Now, Bailey hops into the lane and scores it.
00:39:27Have high hopes for Ace Bailey.
00:39:29Played his college ball at Rutgers.
00:39:31Now over Christian Brown.
00:39:33Brown's got a 15-footer and puts it in.
00:39:36Nice move.
00:39:36Good move.
00:39:38Shades of Oscar Robertson used to do that when there was no three-point line.
00:39:43And the Jazz by one.
00:39:45Christian's up to seven.
00:39:56Chopped defense.
00:39:58Defender on George runs into the screen, and that's just a baby little floater.
00:40:04And the Jazz scoring at will.
00:40:06They have 62.
00:40:07Now Jokic in the lane.
00:40:09And Jokic drops it in.
00:40:12Don't forget, our first big halftime report's coming up.
00:40:15Stats and more.
00:40:17Highlights and more.
00:40:19Dialogue and more.
00:40:20Stay tuned for that.
00:40:22Jazz by one here.
00:40:24And a wide-open corner three.
00:40:26No good.
00:40:28Ace Bailey with a rebound.
00:40:31Filipowski has 10.
00:40:35And Jokic got his hand on it.
00:40:39Bruce Brown over to Murray.
00:40:42Murray for three.
00:40:43Got it!
00:40:44That was almost behind the plane of the backboard.
00:40:49Absolutely.
00:40:50So the Nuggets have the lead at 64-62.
00:40:56Keontae George trying to shake.
00:40:58And that's good offense.
00:41:00And that's such a good offensive player right there.
00:41:03I don't know how they'll be when they've got to play something besides one-on-one.
00:41:07Boy, they got a couple of really good one-on-one players.
00:41:15Jazz building for the future.
00:41:17But they're looking pretty good tonight and the present.
00:41:19Keontae George with 11 here in the first half.
00:41:23And a whistle and a foul.
00:41:25Holding the same thing.
00:41:26He wraps his arm around the leg.
00:41:28It's heartless this time.
00:41:30They don't know what to do.
00:41:32So what are we doing?
00:41:33What you're doing is you're putting your arm all the way around the oak tree.
00:41:40That's a foul.
00:41:45And Sensaba swats it back out of bounds.
00:41:49Jazz, we mentioned, 18-42, 14th in the West.
00:41:55And they're playing the Nuggets even so far.
00:42:0110 seconds.
00:42:03And it's going to be a foul.
00:42:06See, that's just a dumb play.
00:42:08Parkless with the bump.
00:42:11First, he swung it at Joker's arm, who's extended out.
00:42:15I mean, then he just put a forearm shiver into his chest.
00:42:20Joker sells it a little bit, gets the call.
00:42:24They knocked the arm down first, which I think is illegal.
00:42:28Gave him that one and then just kind of ran through him.
00:42:31And the fans giving Jokic the business.
00:42:37And Jokic quiets him down.
00:42:40Feels like a quiet first half for Jokic.
00:42:42He's played 18 minutes, 13.7 rebounds, three assists.
00:42:47Quiet.
00:42:48Well, the assists are usually louder than they bend.
00:42:54Jokic are shooting 58.5%, so they're getting some good looks inside.
00:42:58Yeah, defensively, there's just too much one-on-one getting to the basket.
00:43:03Final seven seconds.
00:43:05Keontae George picked up by Hardaway.
00:43:09Keontae throws up a prayer, and it goes in.
00:43:12Right at the horn.
00:43:15Now, Keontae George with 14 here in the first half.
00:43:18He leads the Utah Jazz.
00:43:21Murray with 17, Jokic with 14.
00:43:26So we will step aside.
00:43:28The Jazz have the lead at the break, 67-66.
00:43:34Officially, that's the end of the first half.
00:43:35When we come back, stick around.
00:43:37First Bank halftime report is coming up.
00:43:50To center in the iconic, adventurous Toyota 4Runner.
00:43:53It's available now at your Front Range Toyota stores.
00:44:02Well, nobody said it would be easy.
00:44:04Well, some did, but it hasn't been.
00:44:06The Nuggets and the Jazz locked up here.
00:44:09One-point lead for the Jazz.
00:44:10Get ready for the start of the third quarter.
00:44:12But first, check in with Scott Hastings, presented by HCA Health 1.
00:44:16And we're going to go talk about what Katie and I talked a little bit about in the pregame,
00:44:20and you brought up about all those runs.
00:44:23The bench has got to be better.
00:44:25Now, I understand you've got different guys starting now.
00:44:28Balance units actually start today.
00:44:29So that goes off your bench and all that.
00:44:32But you're trailing at halftime, 35-18.
00:44:35And you're down one.
00:44:37So the starters are doing their job and are playing well enough.
00:44:41But again, that type of a discrepancy between bench, the two benches really puts you in a bind.
00:44:49The bench has got to get better.
00:44:50And listen, I think David said this also.
00:44:54If you're not scoring and everybody's making shots, then you've got to stop somebody.
00:45:00Can't take yourself out of the game because you missed a shot here or there.
00:45:03Let's go over to Katie.
00:45:04Guys, just to build on what you were saying, I talked with assistant coach Auggie Stojakovic
00:45:07coming back out of the locker room.
00:45:08I said, what do you want to take away?
00:45:10He said, the easy points in the transition.
00:45:11We've talked a lot about the 18 fast break points that Utah has.
00:45:14They also want to do a better job of limiting their turnovers,
00:45:17which allows the Jazz to get out and run in transition.
00:45:20I asked him specifically about the bench, which is what you guys are talking about, limiting them.
00:45:23He said, we've had way too many blow-bys.
00:45:25We have to do a better job of containing one-on-one.
00:45:27That must be better here in the second half.
00:45:29Here's a good look at Auggie Stojakovic in the midst of the Nuggets assistant coaches.
00:45:36And one thing, David Adelman trying to figure out who to play with whom, what minutes.
00:45:42He started Jokic and Valanchunas.
00:45:45That seemed to work okay.
00:45:46And he's going to do it again to start the second half.
00:45:49Let's see if the Nuggets can get going here.
00:45:57High, low, and turnover.
00:45:59Didn't put it up high enough.
00:46:00They're switching everything in front and big.
00:46:02Now got a quarter three on the way for Utah.
00:46:05That's no good.
00:46:05Valanchunas has it.
00:46:07It's dislodged.
00:46:08Nuggets come up with it.
00:46:10For Christian Brown.
00:46:12Yes, and a foul.
00:46:14It's a little Euro at the end there.
00:46:16And finishing.
00:46:18And a chance for a regular three-point play.
00:46:23It'll make him stop.
00:46:24He's either reach in.
00:46:25Able to be strong enough to get over the lip of that rim and finish.
00:46:28Fouls on Williams, his second.
00:46:30And Christian at the line.
00:46:35And he missed it.
00:46:36Coming in to the night he had made nine of his last ten free throws.
00:46:45So the Nuggets by one here.
00:46:49See if they can tighten it up on defense.
00:46:50Bailey lets it go.
00:46:52That's no good.
00:46:53And Jokic with a rebound.
00:46:56Christian Brown.
00:46:58Pass it out.
00:46:59Strother's got a great look.
00:47:01And he nails it.
00:47:03On balance.
00:47:04Follows through.
00:47:04Yeah.
00:47:05Great pass too.
00:47:06Great visit by Christian.
00:47:08Well, Nuggets trying to push here.
00:47:12He said this poor.
00:47:13Teams like to run.
00:47:14Sometimes don't like to run back.
00:47:16Mm-hmm.
00:47:17One minute into the third.
00:47:18The Nuggets have fashioned a four-point lead.
00:47:22If you look at the three-point shooting for the game.
00:47:27Look at the 48%.
00:47:28That's pretty darn good.
00:47:29They're number one in the league at 39%.
00:47:31Now Filipowski in on Jokic.
00:47:34Jokic pretty good defense.
00:47:36Filipowski falling away.
00:47:37Nope.
00:47:38Nope.
00:47:39Jonas goes and gets it.
00:47:43Jokic going to go right in the post.
00:47:45On Harkless.
00:47:48Jokic has it.
00:47:51Murray.
00:47:53Murray in the lane.
00:47:54Pass it out.
00:47:55Christian with six to shoot.
00:47:57Murray sidesteps.
00:47:59Back the other way.
00:48:01He goes.
00:48:02And he pops it in there.
00:48:04Wow.
00:48:05A left and a right and a bucket.
00:48:0974-67.
00:48:12Eight straight points for the good guys.
00:48:15Bailey.
00:48:16And Bailey fouled by Jokic.
00:48:20By this shot by Murray just a moment ago.
00:48:24You've said it before.
00:48:26Sometimes he makes the tough ones look easier.
00:48:29Kick the back out.
00:48:30Go back and replace.
00:48:32Look at this.
00:48:35Stepped a little bit to the side.
00:48:37Knocked it down.
00:48:42Ace Bailey at the line.
00:48:45He knocks it in.
00:48:46His real name is Arias.
00:48:48There was a youth football coach who struggled with his name.
00:48:52So he just started calling him A's.
00:48:54And it stuck.
00:48:56Arias Bailey.
00:48:57He's just 19 years old.
00:49:00First game against Denver at 10 points.
00:49:03Didn't shoot the three well.
00:49:05But having a pretty good season might make all rookie.
00:49:09So a five point Nuggets lead.
00:49:19You can Christian open on that three for a second.
00:49:22You know, it's got to be careful about those big elbows.
00:49:25Works his way inside and drops it all.
00:49:29A big foul.
00:49:32With his fourth point.
00:49:34And it's a seven point Nuggets lead.
00:49:37Nuggets have tightened it up a little bit on defense.
00:49:39That three is on the way.
00:49:41It's no good.
00:49:42Filipowski is there.
00:49:45And free throw is coming up.
00:49:47Again, a hard thing to do is to rebound in the zones.
00:49:51We watched that play before.
00:49:55Filipowski just got kind of sideways and couldn't do anything to even contest that little baby hook.
00:50:00Filipowski thinking, I need another 40 pounds if I'm going to guard this guy.
00:50:04Kyle Filipowski right there.
00:50:06You know he went to Duke.
00:50:08A second round pick.
00:50:11Five straight games.
00:50:13Ten or more.
00:50:14Drops it in.
00:50:15Time now for a live odds update brought to you by FanDuel.
00:50:18Nuggets came in as a 12 point favorite.
00:50:22Now an eight and a half point favorite.
00:50:27480 on the money line.
00:50:30254 and a half.
00:50:33By the way, the odds are subject to change.
00:50:36As Christian Brown has the rebound.
00:50:42Nuggets shorthanded again tonight.
00:50:44But so are the Utah Jazz as Christian Brown shoots the three.
00:50:49Strother batted it out.
00:50:51Kante George has it.
00:50:53Christian Brown has the assignment for the moment on the talented Kante George.
00:50:58Filipowski.
00:51:05He said Joker reached over the top.
00:51:08I thought he got away with that.
00:51:10He didn't get away with it.
00:51:11Obviously, they blew the whistle.
00:51:12But the little shove, he likes to put the hand on the head.
00:51:18They're mentioning the last time the Jazz went to the playoffs in 2022.
00:51:23Quinn Snyder, the coach.
00:51:24They were 49 and 33.
00:51:26They had Rudy.
00:51:29Gobert.
00:51:30Mike Conley.
00:51:32Nikio Alexander-Walker.
00:51:34Jordan Clarkson.
00:51:35Royan Bogdanovich.
00:51:37Had some players on that team.
00:51:39So they have the Minnesota Timberwolves.
00:51:42Yeah.
00:51:42You look at the seasons.
00:51:4521-22.
00:51:47That was Quinn's last season before he stepped out.
00:51:50And Will Hardy, who came actually from the Spurs organization, mostly,
00:51:56had one season with the Boston Celtics before coming here.
00:51:59He's had some rough, rough years.
00:52:03But they're building with him.
00:52:04They believe in him.
00:52:09Trust the process, they say.
00:52:11Now Murray.
00:52:14Murray up and under.
00:52:16And somehow, he got through there.
00:52:20Wow.
00:52:21Now Jamal Murray now with 22.
00:52:22He's got eight assists.
00:52:24So heading towards a nice double-double if he can keep it going.
00:52:30Nuggets by six.
00:52:34Keontae George, one-on-one against Murray.
00:52:37Keontae in the lane.
00:52:39And he's fouled again.
00:52:43Let's get on Jamal Murray.
00:52:45You could sense it when Keontae got it.
00:52:48He hadn't shot it this half.
00:52:51And so he was going to take it in.
00:52:53Got the foul as his third on Jamal.
00:52:59Now George hit the line where he's excellent.
00:53:02Eighty-nine percent.
00:53:07Knocks it in.
00:53:07If you're injured, no attorney is more qualified to know and to speak about your injuries
00:53:12than the doctor, who's also a lawyer, Dr. Joseph Ramos, RamosLaw.com.
00:53:2227% of Keontae George's points come via the free throw line.
00:53:28There you go.
00:53:29You can see why.
00:53:30Yeah.
00:53:31He's the modern-day NBA-allowed player.
00:53:34It's just great to contact.
00:53:3616 points for George.
00:53:38Now Strother.
00:53:39Try it again.
00:53:40That was a good look.
00:53:42Valantrunas is there.
00:53:44And a foul.
00:53:50The call, the foul.
00:53:53On Williams.
00:53:55Or is it Filipowski?
00:53:56Yeah, Filipowski or Bailey.
00:53:58The two there.
00:54:01Now they're going to change it.
00:54:03It is Bailey.
00:54:04You're right, Scott.
00:54:05Well, Bailey slapped the arm.
00:54:06Filipowski was shoving in the chest.
00:54:16Well, Jonas drops it home.
00:54:20See if Kelsey tries to take it over here in a second.
00:54:24Eighty-one-seventy-four.
00:54:29I guess the biggest lead was eight.
00:54:32And it's awful.
00:54:34And out of bounds.
00:54:36See it again.
00:54:36You're playing that zone, and you see Julian Strother and Christian Brown talking about it.
00:54:40That was Strother all the way on the elbow.
00:54:44Well, he's the baseline guy.
00:54:46So, if they don't try to put it down or make that pass and kick it out of bounds, you've
00:54:51got a wide open guy in the corner that no one's going to get to.
00:54:55Now, I'll choose for the low man in the middle.
00:54:58Bailey.
00:54:59Ball was there, and the Jazz knocking out of bounds.
00:55:04Do you like the Nuggets' zone defense better, or their man-to-man?
00:55:07Well, sorry to put you on the spot.
00:55:10I like it man-to-man better, but right now the zone, because you haven't stopped penetration, this probably helps
00:55:17you a little more.
00:55:17Okay.
00:55:18That's another turnover just on entering the post.
00:55:21That's the third or fourth turnover just trying to get the ball into the post.
00:55:26Can't take George for sure.
00:55:27See, in that time, your baseline guy gets stuck on the baseline and doesn't come out.
00:55:35Well, George now with 19, Utah 16 points off the turnovers.
00:55:41Down the middle, the Christian balance spinning up, no, foul it up, no!
00:55:45Oh, my gosh.
00:55:46And Balanchunas with the foul.
00:55:52Wow, that's a rough minute or two for Denver there.
00:55:57Well, this would be a take foul, and that's just frustration right there.
00:56:05Oh, that's actually the bonus.
00:56:09And Filipowski back to the free-throw line.
00:56:12With Jazz 13 of 16 at the line.
00:56:16Nuggets 9 of 10.
00:56:19Filipowski 7.6 rebounds.
00:56:22He's 5 of 6 at the line.
00:56:30And the free-throw is good.
00:56:31And 7 minutes of bonus free-throws for Utah, who likes to get to the free-throw line.
00:56:37Murray.
00:56:44Stationing himself outside the three-point line.
00:56:47At least I think he has to.
00:56:49Yeah, he backs up.
00:56:49No Markkinen, no Jackson, no Kessler, no Love, no Williams, no Merkich.
00:56:56And yet, the Jazz hanging right in with the Denver Nuggets.
00:57:02Scott pointed out, the Nuggets already in the penalty.
00:57:07Boy, another questionable pass.
00:57:13Utah denying all over the place.
00:57:16And Murray.
00:57:20Murray's going to take this shot, apparently.
00:57:24And Travis.
00:57:30Crazy corner.
00:57:32The Jazz had only one field goal here in the quarter.
00:57:36Nine points from the free-throw line.
00:57:39But let's go over to Katie Winge now for the Intermountain Health sports break.
00:57:44Katie.
00:57:45All right, guys.
00:57:45Jokic and Murray.
00:57:46They've played in 547 games together, spanning 10 seasons with some time missed due to injury.
00:57:51All those games together.
00:57:53And they still aren't even halfway to another dynamic duo in NBA history.
00:57:56Relevant to tonight's matchup.
00:57:58Karl Malone and John Stockton.
00:57:59And here's how Murray and Jokic stack up at this point to these two.
00:58:02More points, less assists, less playoffs.
00:58:05But most importantly, they have an NBA championship together.
00:58:09So far tonight, combined for 36 points and 11 assists.
00:58:12The Nuggets duo performing at a high level so far here in Salt Lake City.
00:58:17We're going to take a break.
00:58:18The Denver Nuggets up 81-79 over the Jazz.
00:58:21We are in the third quarter, and we will be right back.
00:58:23One dedicated to the health and well-being of our community
00:58:26and creating a healthier tomorrow by Pathwater,
00:58:30the exclusive water partner of the Denver Nuggets.
00:58:32By your local Ford stores.
00:58:34Ready, set, forward.
00:58:36And by King Soopers, fresh for everyone.
00:58:40We've got some nice snow up here in Utah, and why not?
00:58:45Chilly today.
00:58:47A little rainy here down in Salt Lake.
00:58:50May have snowed up there in Park City.
00:58:52And Nuggets fans, a lot of them here.
00:58:56And the Nuggets hanging on to a two-point lead.
00:58:58Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, Katie Wenge.
00:59:05Now Filipowski going to challenge Jokic inside, lay it up and in.
00:59:10Tied up at 81.
00:59:15And Filipowski now with 11-6.
00:59:19Jokic, meanwhile, 14-8.
00:59:26Cheapers, there's such contact between Jokic and whatever defender.
00:59:30And a bank shot is good.
00:59:34Wow, maybe that'll be a little impetus to get the Denver Nuggets going, Scott.
00:59:40Mark that down in your little book up there, your little thing.
00:59:43He's got it, 84-81.
00:59:47Two straight drive-bys for four straight points.
00:59:51So, Katie talked about what Augie talked about.
00:59:54Murray long range, got it.
00:59:56All Murray needed to do is see one go in.
00:59:59All right, let's go in.
01:00:00Come in.
