Half of Denver’s roster could be in the infirmary yet as long as No. 15 was healthy, the Nuggets would have a chance.
Instead, the absences of Aaron Gordon , Jamal Murray , Bruce Brown and Jeff Green were too costly in a gripping 127-126 loss to the Kings. What was once a 19-point, second-half Denver lead fizzled under Sacramento’s pressure, and the Nuggets’ winning streak was snapped at five.
De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Domantas Sabonis combined for 95 points, as Denver’s defense fell apart in the second half. Denver fell to 22-12 overall and will try to rebound against the Heat on Friday.Bones’ bounceback: Starting in place of Murray, Bones Hyland played his best game in two weeks, finishing with 20 points, 11 assists and five rebounds in 33 minutes.
Despite the recent slump, he’s still as slippery and audacious as always. His next level entails striking the balance between attacking and distributing. By no means did Denver lose because of Hyland, but when you’re the point guard, the spotlight shines a little brighter.
