It’s 2019 and the Knicks clearly resolved not to fall behind by 40 in the first half anymore. Success! Tonight they were in the game till the very end, falling to the Denver Nuggets 115-108. Denver welcomed back Gary Harris and the recently resurrected Paul Millsap. They also welcomed back Emmanuel Mudiay, who played his first game in the Mile High City as a non-Nugget. More impactful than who came back was he who never left: Nikola Jokic, who looks like asthma incarnate but whose game takes your breath away.
Jokic had six assists in the first quarter.
