What impact did Bruce Brown have in this game?
125-123. It was a game of inches, a game of runs, a game of inches in this one as Devin Booker's three-pointer to win it at the buzzer was very uncomfortably close to going in. But he's not Nikola Jokic.
Why is Tim Hardaway Jr. making a case for 6th Man of the Year?
He's not Jamal Murray. He did not hit the clutch shot tonight. Brennan votes in the house.
What an absolute treat to be here with you guys on Tuesday. That will very soon be a Wednesday.
What role did Julian Strawther play in the game?
We get to hang out two days in a row. Look at that.
How did Spencer Jones perform in his limited minutes?
Hey, what a treat. A back-to-back, you say?
A back-to-back.
Over here at D-Line Co. That's right, guys.
What does the team need to improve moving forward?
Got that dub. Got that dub. That's about all you can say, right? They got it, though.
We got that dub in us. Over there, Harrison Wind in pajamas.
Thank God they got that dub because it was going to really suck doing a loser's lounge in this setup.
A pajama loser's lounge? I like giving earnest, concerned takes about the Nuggets while in pajamas.
This defense has been a joke all season. I'm still going to say that, but it's going to hit a little different.
It goes viral. Everybody's like, wait, what?
They're like, oh, I get it. Losers. It's full of losers.
Some crazy stuff happened in this game, man. We'll relive it very quickly with our fast breakdown. Let's go to it. First note, tech on Jokic. Will it affect the game? Is Jokic going to be too focused on officiating? I don't think it actually did end up affecting the game, but he did blow a gasket.
I actually think this time it helped him. I think the call started going his way.
Yeah, he was very unhappy. Nuggets were down nine, though, in that first quarter, man. Nine points. Suns were hitting their threes. 35-28 Suns. Starters did not look good in their minutes tonight, which is weird. Defensive lineup comes in, though, in the second quarter, and they're playing great. Or is it Jalen Green just being a ball hawk? I don't know, but both things were happening. Yoke checked back into the game with six minutes to go, and he took over. It was a dominant first half from Yoke. Really a dominant game. He was one assist shy of a triple-double in the first half. A Sambor double.
Fifth fastest of all time.
67-67 Nuggets. Let's go to the third quarter. 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?
Yeah.
But Bruce Brown had a tough stretch. Kind of saved the game and flipped the game in the fourth when it was starting to get away.
