It was a rough feeling out first quarter. Nikola Jokic, a key part of the Denver Nuggets team was at staying at home getting healed from a sore hip.
So Denver did not have its Golden Nugget.
So Denver’s next most dominant player, Danilo Gallinari stepped up and dropped in 32 points.
This validates that Denver’s recent rise is not just the result of only a one-man show. The Nuggets are 4-0 against the Suns this season with a very balanced effort in the victory Saturday night.
Gallo sunk 32 points in 37 minutes, grabbed 8 boards; hit 9 of 14 under the arc and 3 of 5 beyond the arc, along with a perfect 11 of 11 from the stripe.
