For the first time in six months the Denver Nuggets had a home game. They had new colors on the court but Denver’s ability from last season to play down to the level of its competition reared its ugly head as they defeated the Perth Wildcats 96 to 88. Gary Harris got his first preseason action and looked good early, but most of the starters had poor games and scored just 36 combined points. Perth’s Bryce Cotton was the best Wildcat option; he looked like a definite NBA-caliber player out there with 17 points in the first half and 33 for the game.
Recap: Nuggets come out lackluster but outlast Perth Wildcats 96-88
