What a week. What a freaking week for the Denver Nuggets. Denver punched Portland in the mouth in what ended up being an emotional farewell to Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez. The next night they shocked the Utah Jazz in an improbable win with just seven players. Finally, on Saturday Denver completed its season sweep of the Phoenix Suns.
Both Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray had outstanding, outstanding weeks. Jokic deservedly picked up Western Conference Player of the Week honors for his 27.3/14.3/8.3 averages.
