After losing three consecutive games, the Denver Nuggets have closed out their five-game road trip with two wins, capped off by a three-point victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.
The Nuggets barely scraped by a Hornets squad playing without their two top scorers, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, with a final score of 107-104.
The Nuggets struggled as a team, shooting a poor 7-37 (18.9%) from beyond the arc, but a few strong individual performances made up for it. Christian Braun stepped up, dropping 24 points and 11 rebounds on 9-15 shooting, but superstar center Nikola Jokic had a historic game.
