The Denver Nuggets quietly steamrolled an aggressive offensive team in the Sacramento Kings, 126-112. The Kings made up some ground in garbage time but the lead hovered around 20 for most of the second half, with Gary Harris posting 18 points in a starter-most 26 minutes and Jamal Murray adding 19 as he got hot in the second half. Nikola Jokic posted an easy double-double as Denver had eight players in double figures and a solid effort to end a 4-0 first week of the season. Marvin Bagley III led the Kings with 20 points and Justin Jackson added 17 but they simply had no answer as Denver piled up 72 points in the paint and 49 rebounds to pull away as the game went on.
