Wide open little flippers and dumpers.

He had a couple of free throws that he missed that made the game even tighter than it should have been, but Nuggets pulled it out.

Then Sunday against the Warriors, Golden State led at the half, but Denver gave up only 40 points to the Warriors in the second half.

Turned into a blowout because Denver hit 13 second-half threes.

I thought Tim Hardaway was really good in this one.

He had 16 points.

Bruce Brown had 15 points.

He had a three, and at one point, he tipped his cap.

I like to see that from the cowboy himself, Bruce Brown.

Good celebration.

Denver is on a six-game winning streak.

They're two games up on Minnesota for the fourth seed in the Western Conference.

Denver has a tougher remaining schedule.

They do have the tiebreak over Minnesota.

However, that would be an interesting first-round series.

4-5 Denver, Minnesota.

They've played a lot of really tough games in the past two or three seasons.

Denver also only one game back from L.A.

for the third seed.

The Lakers, though, do have the tiebreak that they got when they played their great win streak recently.
