SALT LAKE CITY — After Nuggets coach Michael Malone’s post-game news conference concluded Wednesday night, but before he could leave the room, he was asked to answer just one more question.
Utah forward Bojan Bogdanovic, who’d routinely torched the Nuggets in past meetings, was held to 15 points on 5 for 16 from the field. Call it a silver-lining as Denver dropped to 0-4 against Utah this season, but they’d kept it close with Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon both on the bench.
“That’s Davon, isn’t it?” a reporter asked, referring to Bogdanovic’s quiet night.
“I’ll tell you, man,” Malone replied.
