For a night, Jeff Green looked young again.
Long in the tooth and even longer in his career, Green soared through Denver’s thin air, propelling the Nuggets to a 118-109 win over Dallas on Wednesday night. That it came in the final game before the All-Star break made it all the more improbable.
“The biggest challenge is not being satisfied,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “Staying hungry, staying motivated.”
Green paced the Nuggets with a season-high 24 points, as the Nuggets improved to 41-18 overall and 27-4 at home. They won’t play again until Feb. 23rd at Cleveland.
