The Denver Nuggets had a massive challenge on Thursday night with the Utah Jazz coming to town, winners of 19 of their last 23 games. It would take a herculean effort from several guys to defeat such a strong Jazz team.
They got it. The Nuggets won 106-100, anchored by a strong Nikola Jokic performance. The Joker scored 28 points, dished 10 assists, and scored 11 in a row to ice the game in clutch game. Torrey Craig was also huge, holding Mitchell to just 4 points on 1-of-12 shooting and four turnovers.
