The Nuggets stormed to an impressive and inspiring 120-132 home win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night.
The win was greeted with a huge sigh of relief and a notable morale booster for coach Malone and his squad after a hugely disappointing road trip earlier this month.
During that difficult stretch, we saw the Nuggets fall to fellow league strugglers such as the Nets, Wizards and most recently, the Mavericks.
Ultimately, many Nuggets fans began to voice their opinions in relation to the direction of this young team.
