Despite being on a five game road trip, the Denver Nuggets were red hot. Winners of seven straight, the Nuggets were looking to extend that streak to eight in Charlotte against the Hornets. Unfortunately for Denver, the Hornets used a huge second quarter to build a big lead that the Nuggets were ultimately unable to claw their way back from. Kemba Walker, Malik Monk and even Tony Parker gave Denver all they could handle from the perimeter to lead the way. Despite some strong performance from the Nuggets bigs Nikola Jokic and Paull Millsap, and a spirited comeback effort late, the Hornets were too much.
Recap: Denver Nuggets come up just short in comeback effort, lose to Charlotte Hornets 113-107
