The Mavericks blitzed into Ball Arena and seized a 116-115 win over the Nuggets, handing Denver its third consecutive loss.
Aaron Gordon led the Nuggets with 27, and Nikola Jokic added 19 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. After getting benched last game, Bones Hyland was tremendous with 20 points and five assists. Despite his production, Hyland said the defensive mistakes have yielded losses that they should’ve won.Luka Doncic had 22 points and four 3-pointers as part of Dallas’ barrage. Now 14-10, the Nuggets will re-group and head to Portland on Thursday.
The Nuggets flipped the script to start the third quarter. Instead of throwing careless passes to grease fastbreaks as they’d done in the first half, they were the ones jumping the passing lanes. It led to easy runouts and efficient, effective offense. An 11-3 run to start the third gave way to a torrential Dallas spurt from the 3-point line. If it wasn’t Finney-Smith connecting from deep, then it was Tim Hardaway Jr. scorching the nets from distance.
Playing his first extended minutes in almost two weeks, Braun made an impact on both ends of the floor. Zeke Nnaji also enjoyed substantive minutes after Denver’s awful bench showing over the weekend.
