With a convincing win against the Lakers last night, the Denver Nuggets have advanced to a 3-2 start. It has been a roller coaster of a season, but there are positive takeaways to be had amid a middling start — with the Lakers game seeming like it might be the start to a good stretch of play for the team.
Now that’s not to say the Lakers game was a pretty win — it was far from it. However, it was a game that featured the second lowest turnover number from the Nuggets this season and the defense looked the best it has all season.
