Adam Mares 0:30
Never ordinary. We're also the Toyota Lounge.

How did Nikola Jokic perform in this game?

Adam Mares 0:32
Driven by your front range Toyota stores. Toyota, the official vehicle of DNVR. Nuggets get their sixth straight win. Second longest win streak of the year.

How did Jamal Murray contribute to the game?

Adam Mares 0:43
Possibly counting. Hell yeah. Possibly counting. Man, Nuggets get a win. A lot of defense in this game. What a change of pace. We got a little defense or maybe bad offense. We don't know. We'll talk about that. And a very good, very, very good, I would say, second half from your, excuse me, my Denver Nuggets. We're going to break it all down with Harrison Wind.
Harrison Wind 1:02
And you didn't want to play the funky music.

What role did Bruce Brown play in the Nuggets' success?

Harrison Wind 1:04
I did not. Six in a row, I think, is a clear funky music night. I don't care that they looked like trash in the first half. They played pretty well in the second half and won their sixth in a row.
Adam Mares 1:17
Dude, anytime you can hold LJ Cryer scoreless, you got to play the funky music. Yes. If you can hold him scoreless, man, you've got to turn it up. I think he held himself scoreless. Well, over here, DeLanco.
Eric Wedum 1:28
I understand our pleasure receptors have been burnt out over the last several years. We've had a lot of success.

What strategies can the Nuggets use to maintain their winning streak?

Eric Wedum 1:34
We've taken it for granted. Six in a row is nothing to scoff at. It is nothing to scoff at. I'm not scoffing. Are we back? The question has been put forth in the chat. We've been back.
Adam Mares 1:48
We declared us back after two game win streaks.
Eric Wedum 1:50
We're back.

What are the implications of injuries for the Nuggets' playoff chances?

Eric Wedum 1:51
We're still continuing on the same streak.
Adam Mares 1:53
It is nice to see a little streak. It is funny not to get ahead of ourselves, but it is funny to look and just wonder.
Harrison Wind 2:00
Don't even think about saying it. I didn't say anything. I know. I'm saying don't think about it.
Adam Mares 2:04
I'm saying it's just interesting to look ahead and see what might unfold is all. Nuggets get the win, 116-93. Surprisingly, there's some stuff to talk about in this game. This is an interesting game. Tale of two halves in some ways. Game of runs. We'll break it all down. Game of runs. All of those differences. Make or miss league. Let's go to a fast breakdown. It's pretty fast. I didn't have that many notes. First note does not tell a story. Jokic missing shots early. Remember how off he was to start this game?
Harrison Wind 2:30
He was weird.
Adam Mares 2:30
He was missing some weird ones. Also, slowest pace of the year. The first quarter, slowest pace quarter. I think somebody said that. It was a very slow game. There just was not a lot of rhythm to this game early on. I think that was by Golden State's design. 28-23 Warriors after one. 23 points for the Denver Nuggets at home in this economy. Second quarter, Zeke Nagy minutes. Mad scientist went to the lab tonight. Bruce had a buzzer beater out of the shot clock. It felt like a big moment there. Do you guys remember that one? From really deep. It was awesome. And then Zeke Nagy making his presence felt with a hard foul that caused a dust-up. And this is what you love when your guy instigates something. Two techs on Golden State, one on Denver.
Adam Mares 3:12
Played it perfectly.
Harrison Wind 3:14
Played it perfectly, man.
Adam Mares 3:16
Lost his headband and then kind of stared. His stare down is funny. Because, you know, like stare down usually it's like tough. He gives his soft eyes. He has like a soft eye stare down. Almost like he's like. It's like a Zoolander or something, you know? He kind of gave the Zoolander blue steel. But it worked. I mean, hey, shout out Zeke. Then Spencer Jones, we find out, is questionable to return. Hamstring tightness? Hamstring tightness. Dude, what is our hamstring routine in warm-ups? Gotta be better. We gotta be better with this. I think it's clear we don't have one. No, we need to start doing the bands.
Eric Wedum 3:46
You know, we gotta get the straight leg. No, we need to start, clearly, because we're not preparing anyone's hamstring.
Adam Mares 3:52
Whatever they're doing, we need to change it up a little bit.
