GAME STORY | After the Nuggets dropped five of their last six games, it was a needed win.
NEW YORK — For a moment late Sunday afternoon, Brooklyn’s Barclays Center was alive.
“It creates a lot of problems,” Malone said of trying to stop Denver’s superstar trio. “You can only guard so many guys.” What had been Murray’s masterpiece turned into a performance by the Nuggets’ supporting cast. Denver hammered the Nets inside, exposing their size and lack of physicality. Aaron Gordon bulldozed for a dunk, then Jokic followed suit. His jam came off a clean pass from Porter at the elbow — and reenacted a play the duo had run numerous times only inverse. Porter got in on the act, too. He followed one of the few errant floaters from Jokic and hammered a put-back slam of his own.
