Vlatko Cancar held a block party and John Wall wasn’t invited.
For the second consecutive game, Cancar made his presence felt on both ends of the floor for the Nuggets. When Wall took off early into the fourth quarter on a fast break, perhaps the last thing on his mind was that he’d be caught by Cancar. But when Denver’s fleet-footed forward blocked the layup off Wall, the Nuggets’ bench, led by Nikola Jokic, erupted.
The Nuggets knocked off the Clippers 114-104 on Friday night and improved to 12-7 on the season. It was also their NBA-best eighth win away from Ball Arena.
