CHICAGO – The Western Conference gave the Nuggets a bit of a reprieve on Tuesday night as a few teams floating right around them in the playoff race lost games.
The Clippers, Jazz, Thunder and Trail Blazers were all beaten. The Clippers are back in action tonight, as are the Pelicans and Spurs. So, there is a chance for the 38-33 Nuggets – two games out of the eighth spot – to make up more ground.
“Let’s be honest, yesterday was a great day if you’re a Nuggets fan, in terms of other games in the NBA,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.
