The Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies traded early buckets, but the Nuggets quickly went on a run with quality shots around the rim while the Grizzlies were struggling on the other end and got out to an 11-2 lead early in the game. Coming out of the Memphis timeout, the Grizzlies scored, but the Nuggets answered with four buckets of their own, and their lead was 20-6 halfway through the first quarter. Denver’s lead was up to 15 points with a heavy dose of Aaron Gordon doing the work as he had nine points in his first eight minutes on the floor.
