Maybe the Nuggets left their offense on the golden sand beaches of Cabo San Lucas or whatever temperate climate they traveled to during the All-Star break, because Denver’s offensive attack just hadn’t brought the same amount of heat over the last couple of weeks it did prior to last month’s week-long vacation.
