The Nuggets played their first game of the season at Smoothie King center in New Orleans against the Pelicans and Anthony Davis. Davis did not disappoint either, putting up a MONSTER stat line of 50 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 steals, and 4 blocks. It was a good thing most of the other Pelicans struggled though, as the Nuggets edged out a 107-100 victory.
Jusuf Nurkic started the game by winning the first tip, and for my second recap in a row, there were clock issues to begin the game.
