SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Following a chaotic 30-plus hours for the Nuggets, David Adelman met with reporters Wednesday for the first time as the team's interim head coach and was eager to remind everyone what Denver still is capable of just two seasons removed from an NBA title.
Adelman coached his first game Wednesday night in Sacramento -- where his father, Rick, spent eight seasons as head coach -- in place of Michael Malone. The Nuggets fired Malone and general manager Calvin Booth in a stunning move Tuesday in hopes of stopping a four-game skid and remaining out of the play-in spots in the Western Conference.
