The Nuggets gave their fans an early Christmas present as they edged a fiesty Suns team 113-111 to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games Monday night.
Jamal Murray hit the go-ahead shot with 3.2 seconds remaining en route to a game-high 28 points. Nikola Jokiu0107 had his second-straight triple-double to pass Bob Cousy in the NBA’s all-time list. Phoenix was led by Ricky Rubio, who had 21 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
The Nuggets appeared to be picking up where they left off in Los Angeles, where they defeated the Lakers the night before in blow out fashion.
