Brooklyn Nets give Denver Nuggets everything they could handle in 144-139 Loss

Barclays Center is expected to be one of the most popular venues for “get right” games during this NBA season. Tonight, it was the Denver Nuggets, 2023 champs who have title expectations but were feeling rather weighed down by a 1-2 start to their season, dropped in hoping to make a last-minute reservation.

The Nets and Dennis Schröder kept them on hold for as long as they could, longer than anyone probably thought they would, but eventually they had to seat Nikola Jokic and company.

Final: Denver Nuggets 144, Brooklyn Nets 139

Aside from it being Brooklyn’s second home game and a well-earned “we’re back” statement for Denver, tonight was also a bit of a reunion for Jordi Fernández, who spent time with Michael Malone in Denver and Cleveland.
