Bruce Brown’s primal scream would’ve rang throughout downtown Denver were it not drowned out by the sounds of raucous Bulls fans Wednesday night.
Denver’s previous four home losses came via a total of eight points. The final margin vs. Chicago, in just the Nuggets’ fifth home loss of the season, was by 21 points. The Bulls smacked the Nuggets in a way the No. 1 team in the West wasn’t accustomed to getting bullied.
“We can’t come out soft,” Brown said.
But back to that scream, which came after Brown knifed through the lane and jackhammered a dunk late in the third quarter of the rout.
