Carmelo Anthony’s best memory from his 7 1/2 year run with the Nuggets? No surprise, it was Denver’s trip to the Western Conference Finals in 2009. But when ‘Melo looks back at his Nuggets’ tenure, it’s not the seven-consecutive playoff appearances or the three 50-plus win seasons that stick out. It’s how those Nuggets teams helped change how the city…...

Michael Malone couldn’t hide his frustration any longer. After watching what he believed to be a foul committed on Nikola Jokic right in front of the Nuggets’ bench go uncalled, Denver’s coach ran out onto the floor to protest the non-call. Referee Evan Scott quickly signaled for a technical as assistant coach Wes Unseld Jr. rushed to hold Malone back.…...

Hours before the Denver Nuggets lost their third game of a four-game road trip, head coach Michael Malone addressed a depleted scrum of traveling media at shootaround.

At the 21-game mark of the 2018-19 season the Nuggets were 14-7. And through 21 games this year, Denver’s record bears the same number of wins and losses. But while last year’s start was filled with optimism, the Nuggets don’t have the same holiday cheer percolating around their team this December. Why is that? With greater expectations comes harsher criticism.…...

It has become routine for the Nuggets to shower Gary Harris with a chorus of “First Team” in the locker room after some of Denver’s most impressive victories this season, championing the two-guard’s legitimate case for a spot on the NBA’s All-Defensive Team. Some of Harris’ individually defensive highlights this season include holding Luka Doncic to 12 points on 3…...

BROOKLYN — As the Denver Nuggets filed into the visiting locker room after the 105-102 loss to the Brooklyn Nets in Barclays Center on Sunday night, they did so with a near consensus understanding of why they just dropped their fourth game in five days. The Nets had their way in the paint, to the tune of a 66-22 advantage…...

Michael Malone isn’t one for moral victories, but the Nuggets’ 108-95 loss Friday in Boston came with a big silver lining. Nikola Jokic, who’s been mired in the worst offensive slumps of his career, scored a season-high 30 points to go with 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two blocks. Jokic shot an efficient 13 of 21 from the…...

NEW YORK CITY  — The story of Denver’s blowout win over the New York Knicks on Thursday night was one of the second unit’s triumph, and a brief return to form for a Nuggets team that had lost consecutive games. But there’s a difference between a headline and a legitimate takeaway. While the bench did plenty right in Madison Square…...

Who belongs on an all-decade team? Which season was the most fun? Which team was the best? And what were some of the best performances from…

Jamal Murray dribbled around a Nikola Jokic screen and took two hard dribbles with his right hand before riffling a one-handed bounce pass to Denver’s big man barreling towards the basket. For one of the few times in the Nuggets’ 105-96 loss to the Lakers, the Murray-Jokic pick-and-roll surfaced, and late in the fourth quarter a much-needed Jokic floater from…...
