The Denver Nuggets may not have won Monday night as they fell 103-102 to the Los Angeles Clippers in their preseason opener, but they did have a few positive things happen like the play of MPJ and Bones Hyland.
It was a phenomenal start for the Nuggets season — even in a sling effort — specifically for Michael Porter Jr. who is barely a week removed from signing a five-year, max contract. Porter went OFF in the first quarter scoring 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line. It was not just scoring where Porter made his mark early as he also hauled in four rebounds.
