A damning Nuggets trend reared its ugly head Tuesday night at the Pepsi Center with their 16-point letdown against the lowly Warriors marking a 10th loss this season to a sub.-500 team.
Those head-scratching outcomes make up for half of all Denver defeats this season.
“When we play those teams, let’s be honest, it’s black-and-white,” coach Michael Malone said. “We have had issues.”
The Nuggets have now lost to the Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Hawks, Kings, Pelicans (twice) and Warriors. Then again, Denver has also recorded wins over some of the NBA’s best in the Clippers, Lakers, Raptors and Rockets (twice).
