The Denver Nuggets once again find themselves in a familiar position with a .500 record on the season.
The shorthanded Mile High squad couldn’t complete a late comeback attempt Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz, falling 115-109 despite a 26-point, 21-rebound, 11-assist effort from reigning MVP Nikola Jokiu0107. Denver failed to get key stops on the defensive end down the stretch which led to a second consecutive loss.
