Denver Nuggets – Danilo Gallinari Changing the Scenario of the NBA Playoffs
As always, points in the paint were the key to another Denver Nuggets victory, while Danilo Gallinari made the most of his few shots to lead his team, especially in the fourth quarter. With the win, it doesn’t only improve the Nuggets’ chances of getting the third seed in the West, meaning a much easier team to face in the first round of the playoffs, but shaping the battle for the final ticket.

NBA Playoffs – Western Conference Race
In the stronger conference, the race for the NBA playoffs is happening on all fronts, with the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder fighting for the number one spot; the Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets for the 3-4-5 finish; the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets on avoiding one of the two clear favorites in the West, while the Los Angeles Lakers try to catch up with the Utah Jazz for the eighth and final spot.

Denver Nuggets – George Karl Doesn’t Want Things to Slow Down
With a winning streak that’s at 15 now, you’d expect George Karl to take it a little bit easier going into the final stretch of the season; cut his players some slack. But that’s not how you keep a young team without a clear superstar to fall back on when things don’t go great on its edge, hopefully lasting the last few weeks of the season in the same place they are now in the Western Conference.

DeMarcus Cousins Destroys Anthony Randolph With a Dunk
While the Sacramento Kings are heading towards another season of, well, nothing, in what might be their last season in the city, DeMarcus Cousins keeps showing these outbursts of talent that make you go wow, like making mince meat of Anthony Randolph from the Denver Nuggets, helplessly trying to stand in the way of Cousins, en route to a vicious posterizing dunk.

Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Pulls Off a Magical Finish
Despite trailing with only 14 seconds left on the clock; despite Ty Lawson not playing and in general being outplayed for almost the entire game, the Denver Nuggets pulled off another win and kept their secretive winning streak alive (now at 14 games), mostly thanks to a clutch performance from Corey Brewer, rescuing his team with some impressive off-the-bench scoring

Denver Nuggets – Andre Miller and the Cliche About Old Wine
Now we have a third NBA team that sets a new franchise record for consecutive wins, as the Denver Nuggets make it 13 in a row, with their point guard combination of Ty Lawson and Andre Miller being on their best behavior and form, a little bit too much to handle for the supposed favorites every time they’re on the floor, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Denver Nuggets, Best Inside Scoring Team in the NBA
As expected, the Denver Nuggets scored quite a lot of points in the paint against the Chicago Bulls in their 119-118 win, 68 for a matter of fact. Scoring from close range is going hand in hand with their 12 game winning streak, which is going slightly unnoticed because of what LeBron James and the Miami Heat are doing.

Chicago Bulls Weren’t Cheated by the Officials & Denver Nuggets
Despite feeling like they were robbed from a win over the Denver Nuggets, the Chicago Bulls have nothing to complain about. Well, almost nothing. Joakim Noah touched the ball as it was going down, in the cylinder off of Marco Belinelli’s shot. The officials were right to disallow that basket, and give the Nuggets the 119-118 win

Denver Nuggets – The Best Home Team in the NBA
Playing back-to-back nights is always a tough thing, and the Los Angeles Clippers simply fell apart in one of the toughest venues in the NBA, as the Denver Nuggets, led by Ty Lawson on the offensive end and Andre Iguodala on the defensive one, were too much to handle in the second half.

JaVale McGee With an Impressive Volleyball Block
While the consistency and quality of JaVale McGee is always questioned, hence the low number of minutes he’s getting this season, there’s no doubt that he’s one for the spectacular both on offense and defense, delivering the block of the night around the NBA with an impressive swat of Anthony Tolliver’s attempted jump shot.
