Just as March is the time for college hoops to heat up, it’s also the time where the top teams in the NBA separate themselves in time for the postseason. The Nuggets made it clear that’s where they’re headed on Thursday night in D.C. It wasn’t for lack of effort on the Wizards’ part, as Washington took Denver down to the wire with a spirited effort. In the end, eight Nuggets reached double-figures (five scored exactly 15 points) as they pushed their winning streak to five with a 113-108 victory.
No Denver player scored more than 15 points, but the list was long enough for the Nuggets not to need a dominant leader in the scoring column on the night.
