So this was a quality win, and they need all these wins to stay in the race with these other teams we're talking about.

But what did you think of Peyton Watson's return?

I thought he was super rusty.

I think he had three air balls in this game, including his very first shot, which was like a six-footer that he shot four feet.

So he was rusty, but I thought it was interesting to see the way Jokic in particular was playing with him.

He was basically playing as if he was Jamal Murray.

In the two-man game, dribble handoffs, pitching it back and forth, getting Watson attempts to get downhill.

He couldn't hit a three-pointer to save his life from above the break.

Knocked one down from the corner.

That's to be expected if you've missed six weeks or however long he's been out.

But the fact that they are getting healthy at the right time is huge.

And Cam Johnson is starting to feel himself.

He had a really good game.

against the Trailblazers, hit five threes on seven attempts, 19 points.

He's got 15 or more in six of his last seven games.

Feels to me like he's actually finding a bit of a rhythm and understanding where his shots are going to come from and just letting it fly a little bit more, not thinking about it as much.

Yeah, hit his first four threes in this one.

Yeah, super, super confident.

That was a classic Nuggets game.

It was 42-40 after the first quarter.
