If you would have told Nuggets fans before the game that Denver would only score 20 and 16 points in the third and fourth quarter respectively there’s no way they win that game, right? Wrong! the Nuggets somehow found a way to escape out of New Orleans with a narrow 99-98 victory as they stoped CJ McCollum on the last play of the game to get back into the win column and start their three game road trip with a victory.
At halftime, the Nuggets held a commanding 63-47 lead and seemed to be in firm control of the game, until the second half that is.
