An Nguyen previews tonight's Denver Nuggets vs. Utah Jazz game. The Nuggets have been playing well, led by small forward Danilo Gallinari.

Showing some grit and fighting through adversity, the Nuggets gave fans a reason to be proud as they not only snapped a five-game losing streak at home, but also put on the most exciting show of the year. The team battling back from an 18-point deficit in the second half behind Jameer Nelson’s barrage of triples and Danilo Gallinari’s late game…...

Coming off a disheartening loss to the Orlando Magic, the Nuggets look to avenge their home court with a win against the Timberwolves team that blew them out on Oct. 30th. Both young teams have grown throughout the season and tonight’s game will prove to be a good measuring stick of progress. Regular Season Game 23 (8-14) Timberwolves @ Nuggets 7 p.m. MT on Altitude, Fox Sports North…...

The Denver Nuggets first half against the Orlando Magic Tuesday night was proceeding like clockwork. Denver raced out to a 47-40 halftime lead, forced 13 Magic turnovers and managed to go 4-9 from 3-point land. The clouds were clearing and the sun was beginning to shine through as Denver held Orlando to a paltry 39.5 percent shooting and somehow shutout Orlando on the…...

The Nuggets played a pretty good game against the Chicago Bulls, but the result was the same it has been for the previous seven games. The Nuggets drop this one 99-90 and have now lost eight in a row. Leading the way for Denver was Will Barton with 15 points off the bench. Denver would get 43 of their…...

The Nuggets fell 92-74 to the Milwaukee Bucks, dropping their seventh straight game thanks to yet another second half offensive collapse. Milwaukee’s defensive pressure was too much and the Nuggets sloppy offensive play proved to be too much to overcome as the Bucks ran away with the game in the second half. There were a few bright spots, but an…...

After trading away Enes Kanter at least year’s trade deadline, the Utah Jazz, behind the front court duo of Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors, quickly and rapidly ascended to the league’s most dominant defense. From the deadline on, the Jazz boasted the league’s best defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions), and it wasn’t even close. Utah’s 94.8 DefRtg through the…...

Boy, what a rough few days it has been… after shocking the NBA with a season opening win against the seemingly stacked Houston Rockets, the Denver Nuggets dropped their next two games in blowout fashion at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves and on the road to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Aching for a new era of competitiveness and the obligation…...

After keeping the game close throughout the first half despite another poor shooting performance, the Denver Nuggets ran out of juice and fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 117-93. Serge Ibaka set the tone early for the Thunder, sending five Nuggets shots into the stands in the first half and that was enough to scare off Emmanuel Mudiay and…...

The Denver Nuggets ran over the Houston Rockets, 105-85, on their way to an 82-0 record. Seriously, it’s still in play. All joking aside, it was Denver’s starting lineup that really came out and took control of the game in H-Town. Head coach Michael Malone went with Emmanuel Mudiay, Gary Harris, Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried and Joffrey Lauvergne. They…...

Before the Nuggets dismantled Ty Lawson and the Rockets, 105-85, Denver head coach Michael Malone had the following to say about facing Houston on opening night in enemy territory. “We know what Ty is going to try to do, from jump-street, he’s going to try to send a very loud message and good for him,” said Malone. “We’re going to try…...

GAME DAY HAS COME! The long awaited 2015-16 season opener to what projects to be a magical season has finally arrived. The Denver Nuggets will be looking to get the horrific taste that was the 2014-15 NBA season out of their collective mouths and earning a win over Ty Lawson and the Houston Rockets would be a pretty nice mouthwash. The Nuggets…...

With the Nuggets final preseason game on Thursday (Oct. 22nd), opening night rosters set Oct. 26th and the season opener just eight days away, coach Michael Malone and his staff are putting the finishing touches on a productive and encouraging training camp and preseason.

The Rundown The Denver Nuggets are off to a swimmingly solid start to the 2015 NBA preseason, thanks mostly to the play of their young core.

BOULDER — The Denver Nuggets returned to the centennial state after a two-game preseason road trip and put together a convincing win over the Chicago Bulls, 112-94 at the Coors Events Center on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder. After a closely contested opening five minutes, Denver exploded for a 26-3 run behind the small ball lineup…...

Preseason games are an interesting animal. Last Friday night in Los Angeles, the Denver Nuggets raced up and down the Staples center floor, trying to keep pace with a Clippers starting five which posted the most efficient offense in the league last season. Emmanuel Mudiay turned the ball over eight times in 33 minutes and Kenneth Faried went scoreless in 19 minutes.…...

The Denver Nuggets flew into Dallas gunning for their first preseason win and left as victors in a game that showed promise, yet need for improvement. Coming out of the gate firing, Denver dominated the first quarter, almost doubling up on the Mavericks 30-16. Credit goes to Joffrey Lauvergne and Danilo Gallinari; the two Europeans led Denver in the opening quarter with…...

Over five months ago in BSN’s Denver Nuggets offseason to-do list series we argued the importance of signing an additional rim protector to backup starting center Jusuf Nurkic, saying: If there’s one need the Nuggets absolutely must address in free agency this summer, it’s backup center. Luckily for Denver the free agent class of 2015 might very well be the…...

The Denver Nuggets opened up their preseason in Los Angeles against the Clippers with a new coach, a 19-year-old point guard, multiple new faces and after just three days of training camp. For the most part, the inexperience showed. The Clippers, who also have a slew of new additions to their own roster, controlled the game through three quarters and staved off…...
