Spencer Jones had a career night with 28 points. Adelman was very complimentary of his effort tonight, despite the loss. "He's one of the few guys I would say competed defensively on the ball, got into people physically. That's what we need more of from the other guys."

Nuggets HC David Adelman: "I'm not gonna come in here any night and sit down and talk about guys that are out. We have enough here to be more consistent defensively."

Even when Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun come back, Spencer Jones HAS to have some sort of playing time. Dude is making quite the positive impact.

Peyton Watson just baptized Cooper Flagg with that dunk. Omg.

Jokic just hit a rainbow arc shot from 3-pt range and was fouled, but the refs said the basket didn't count. Ugh.

Spencer Jones has a new career high in points (17). The way he's shooting tonight, he's definitely not done. Dude is on FIRE.

Big win for the Nuggets in the absolute gauntlet that is West Group C. They're now 2-1 in the NBA Cup, and still in first place in their respective group.

That Jokic no-look pass to Bruce in the corner was genuine filth

How blessed are we to be able to watch Nikola Jokic play basketball? Like seriously

Nuggets HC Michael Malone is really disappointed with the team's defensive drop-off this season. "We have to get this bad taste out of our mouth, because I hate losing. It's driving me crazy."

Literally only a few games remaining in the regular season and the Nuggets still haven't figured out how to guard a three from the other team.

Needless to say, I was not happy about the ESPN NBA MVP straw poll... 😂 Jokic IS the Denver Nuggets. #milehighbasketball

SUPER WHOLESOME MOMENT ALERT! Before the Nuggets tipoff, miss Gertie was escorted out by head coach Michael Malone for the first shot. She hit the shot, and the team was HYPED! 💛🏀

Michael Porter Jr. admits that he probably should have sat some games recently to nurse his hamstring. Says he's also looking for the three days of rest after Friday's game against the Jazz.

MPJ is happy to be out of his shooting slump. He's been dealing with a hamstring issue since the All-Star Break, and he says it's been affecting his balance on his shots.

Michael Malone had zero doubt that Michael Porter Jr. would find his rhythm again. MPJ was feelin' it from 3-pt range tonight, going 6-for-8.

Nuggets' Michael Malone on if he thought Jokic looked different tonight and if he benefited from the rest: "I saw a guy that looked rested, looked explosive, and looked as efficient and dominating as ever."

Christian Braun has completely turned this game around in the last few minutes. Absolutely HUSTLIN' out there.

The Denver Nuggets three-point defense is simply ✨n o n e x i s t a n t✨

The Nuggets had a 15-point lead at one point. The Bucks are without Antetokounmpo and Lillard. We are now entering halftime with the Nuggets up only 67-64. Can we not?

Okay the "Airheads" were fun to watch. Personally, I'm digging the Red Panda and Axolotl.

Nathan MacKinnon in the building for the Nuggets/Bucks. Doesn't look thrilled to be recognized, just wants to watch ball.

MPJ is 4-for-4 from 3-pt range right now... 👀 🔥

JOKIC DUNK IN HIS FIRST GAME BACK LFGGGG

Michael Porter Jr. is feeling himself, folks... This is GREAT to see.

Despite MPJ's shooting slump, Jamal Murray still wants him to keep shooting: "Bro, he's one of the best shooters I've ever seen. If he has an off night every now and then, like as a teammate I'm not thinking 'aw man, I shouldn't give it to him.' If he's open, he's shooting it."

pt. 2 "It's not his fault, it just didn't go down tonight. I'm sure he'll come out next game and, you know, he'll make every shot or something like that. I don't think about him missing or making. I know what he's capable of."

Nuggets' Michael Malone is baffled by some of the contact allowed by offensive players driving to the basket: "If an offensive player just puts his head down and jumps into you over and over again, I don't know how you're supposed to guard that."

pt. 2 "And I'm asking for clarification because I want to be able to help my guys. You know, I want to help Peyton Watson who's trying to do the right thing by taking the hit in the chest and showing his hands. Everything we're telling him to do, and he's still getting a foul call."

pt. 3 "I want to help Peyton Watson when he's guarding a player who jumps A to B into his body and gets two free throws. We have to find a way to be better whether that's continuing to talk to the referees or talking to the league."

Jamal Murray is HUSTLIN' out there. Love to see it. #MileHighBasketball

Jamal Murray and his buzzer-beating fadeaway jumpers, man... 🔥

Myself, as well as a lot of my family and friends, are all CU folks. But I'll still root for the state of Colorado on the national stage. Rammies looking real good! #MarchMadness

My hope is that the Nuggets are just trying to rest Jokic as much as possible on this road trip in preparation for a good playoff run. The more games he misses though, the more uneasy I feel about that theory. 🫠

The Nuggets have dropped to 4th in the Western Conference. If the season ended today, they'd be playing the Grizzlies in the first round.

Do the Denver Nuggets care about anything?

DO IT TO EM JAMAL ‼️ Jamal Murray hits the three pointer to give the Nuggets the 129-126 lead over the Lakers with 5 seconds left. #MileHighBasketball

The last 10-15 minutes of Nuggets basketball, summarized:

Bronny James just hit a three-pointer. Let me say that a bit louder. BRONNY JAMES JUST HIT A THREE-POINTER. Right in the face of the Nuggets. This is not good folks...

Bo Nix gets it. #MileHighBasketball

Michael Malone saying the Nuggets played 'tired' tonight. Said they put a lot of their energy into the back-to-back against OKC. Gonna try and rest up as much as they can before Friday against the Lakers.

Nikola Jokic felt differently, though:

Nuggets Michael Malone: "I would never say it's a pride thing. Is it disappointing that we're down 3-0 to them? Is it disappointing that they beat us three times on our home court last year in the playoffs? Of course. That stings, that hurts. We got one more crack at em later on this season."
