The Nuggets are about to hop in their DeLorean and time travel back to 2019.

Also, how the Jamal Murray-Derrick White matchup told the story of the series and a look ahead to…
SAN ANTONIO — You’d think that a small forward who’s playing heavy minutes in his first career playoff series and is tasked with guarding four-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan only two years removed from starring in Australia and New Zealand’s National Basketball League would feel a few nerves stepping out onto the floor under the brighter than usual postseason lights. Torrey…...

In Game 3, the Nuggets had front row seats to Derrick White show. For four quarters the Spurs’ point guard rumbled down the lane and sunk one uncontested right-handed layup after another in the 24-year-old’s best game as a pro. “We looked like a bunch of ticket takers,” Malone said of White’s straight-line drives to the basket and the 62…...

SAN ANTONIO — The last time the Nuggets won in San Antonio prior to Saturday night, Jamal Murray was a freshman in high school and Torrey Craig was a sophomore at South Carolina-Upstate. “Shoutout to Upstate by the way,” said Craig after stepping into the starting lineup and drilling five 3s in the Nuggets’ series-evening 117-103 win. “Go Spartans.” Nikola…...
SAN ANTONIO — The shots are finally falling. In Game 1, 3-point shooting doomed the Nuggets as they lost home-court advantage. They’ve progressively gotten better on the offensive end, though, and in Game 4, they buried the Spurs under an avalanche of 3s. Torrey Craig hit five deep balls, and Jamal Murray and Will Barton hit three a piece as Denver…...
The triple-double dropping, no-look passing, efficient scoring Nikola Jokic is most well-known for his offensive prowess. It’s why after a Game 1 loss to the Spurs where Jokic handed out 14 assists and became the only center other than Wilt Chamberlain to accomplish that feat in a playoff game his 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting drew the ire of some…...
Nikola Jokic stared DeMar DeRozan down as he came over to apply the double-team like an outfielder looks a fly ball into his glove. Jokic dribbled the ball twice with his right hand, surveyed the defense as he put his backside into Jakob Poeltl and like clockwork DeRozan shuffled down the lane to force the ball out of his hands.…...

Wind and Clark recap the Nuggets’ win over the Wizards, if Denver’s bench is officially back, Torrey Craig’s run of good play, why the Nuggets’ turnovers are down this season and the message Michael Malone sent by not calling a timeout in the middle of Washington’s big third-quarter run.

The Nuggets’ bench is rock solid, but in recent weeks, the impact they’ve made has been inconsistent as Denver fiddled with inserting Isaiah Thomas as a regular and Michael Malone pared his rotation down. But in the last few games, Thomas has, save for a first-half stint in Boston, not gotten minutes, and Malone has settled on four reserve contributors:…...
Torrey Craig’s mind was focused on the Nuggets’ opponent Saturday night, the Indiana Pacers, but his heart was 7,500 miles away in New Zealand. Craig played two seasons for the Wellington Saints — one of the nine teams that make up New Zealand’s National Basketball League — and at the time lived eight hours north of Christchurch, the site of…
