The Denver Nuggets withstood a battle from the New Orleans Pelicans, including a career-high 39 from Zion Williamson, and pulled out the victory over New Orleans 113-108. Williamson added 10 rebounds and 5 assists to his monster line, but the Nuggets fired back with 37 / 6 / 9 from Jokic, a 23 point and 11 assist effort from Murray and 25 points and 5 boards from Michael Porter Jr. Denver’s Big Three was enough to overcome Zion and the fierce effort from the Pelicans - barely. But on a night that had to be surging with emotion after the trades of Gary Harris, RJ Hampton and Isaiah Hartenstein, it was enough.
