In a game which saw the Nuggets’ star, Nikola Jokic, return from injury, Denver provided the Pepsi Center crowd with a great match up.
They showed a lot of fight and didn’t give up when things started going the Pelicans way. Guys like Gary Harris, Will Barton and Jamal Murray were key as they helped fuel an overtime period where they were able to salvage a win.
Will Barton hit an instrumental three down the stretch in the fourth quarter when New Orleans looked as if they were going to win by a point or two. He also scored 11 of the 19 points in the overtime period for Denver.
