Mid-way through a riveting second quarter that saw the Nuggets go on a 15-0 run to start the period, Kenneth Faried came off the bench and changed the game with his energy on both ends of the floor. The highlight was when Denver’s power forward met Jordan Bell at the rim for this block.

Then a few minutes later, this alley-oop. Faried scored eight points in 14 second-quarter minutes and finished a +14.
