Nuggets starters.

A little stuck in the mud.

Two stints for them tonight.

I guess three with a close.

All of them were unimpressive.

I don't know what to make of that.

Tim Hardaway Jr.

and Spence check in and they go on a run.

But to end this quarter, if you remember, Denver actually had a nice little lead, like 10 points with a couple minutes to go.

And they totally fumbled the end of this.

They called a timeout with 40.

It was so bad.

They called a timeout with 40 seconds left in the quarter.

And out of the timeout, they turned it over on a Spencer Jones illegal screen.

Thankfully, Cam Johnson hit a three in the corner on the last play to give the Nuggets a lead, 97-95, because boy would it have sucked to have lost that quarter and gone into the fourth down.

No AG to start the fourth quarter in this one.

He's on a minutes restriction, and he actually ended up sitting out a majority of the second half, but he did close the game.

The Nuggets' small ball lineup was getting beat inside.

Remember the rebounds, the runouts, all that stuff?

But Bruce Brown had a tough stretch.
