The Nuggets might have Kyle Korver nightmares Thursday night.
It’s possible Donovan Mitchell makes an appearance as well.
The Utah Jazz duo demoralized the Nuggets’ thrilling fourth-quarter comeback attempt with devastating corner 3-pointers and improbable driving layups, ultimately snapping the Nuggets’ five-game winning streak with a 111-104 victory.
Paul Millsap drained his second 3-pointer of the night to make it 104-101 with 1:14 remaining before Mitchell responded with a clutch jumper to silence the rowdy Pepsi Center crowd.
That it even got that close – the Nuggets were down 17 with 6:02 remaining – was a testament to their resiliency on a night when MVP candidate Nikola Jokic was hardly himself.
