Coming out of the All-Star break, it was important that the Denver Nuggets got off to an extremely fast start. Doing that on the road against a good Dallas Mavericks team was going to be a challenge, but the Nuggets found a way to take care of business.
Denver pulled away in the third quarter en route to the 10 point victory. Nikola Jokic lead the way for the Nuggets with 19 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. It was a well balanced effort for the team, as a lot of Nuggets players contributed 10 or more points.
