Nuggets pick up their worst loss of the season at the worst moment in time. Second night of a back-to-back, they fall to the Memphis Grizzlies, who are trying to lose... and have lost eight games in a row until tonight. They get a win over the Denver Nuggets, 125 to 118. Harrison Wind is here. Fellas, it's been a season. It's been a season.

What were the key takeaways from the game against the Grizzlies?

It's been a long one. It's been a tough one. A lot of ups and downs. We might've reached a new low though. Tonight might be a new low. This is the new low for me. This is by far the lowest point of the season. So I think it definitely is the low. Over here's D-Line Co. What's up guys? I don't have anything to say. Oh, you know what? Went limp cigarette. Let's go to a fast breakdown, shall we? Let's do it. We have to. Ty Jerome, a pair of deep threes, 15-9 start for Memphis. They just had energy. They were playing really hard to begin this game. They really played hard throughout it. Christian Brown had 14 quick points in the first quarter, and it was 31-30 Grizzlies after one. Second one, very clunky. Nuggets can never just get the clunkiness off of them in this game.

What impact did injuries have on the Nuggets' performance?

And Jokic was throwing the ball to a lot of different Grizzlies players. He had 10 turnovers in this game, and he had a lot of turnovers in that second quarter. Six point possession for the Nuggets, though, gets them back into things. Then Cam Johnson and Spencer Jones both pick up their third foul. Jokic arguing with the officials the entire quarter.

How does the team plan to bounce back from this loss?

Not once but twice did he make faces I had never seen him make towards officials. 60-60 going into the half. Third quarter, you think, okay, close game. This is where Nuggets pull away. Absolutely not. Grizzlies build a 10-point lead almost immediately.

What are the expectations for the Nuggets moving forward?

Cam Johnson's the one that kept him in the game. Back-to-back threes and then a couple tough drives. He was the only one that seemed to be playing with any spirit in that third quarter, which was annoying. but as he cut the lead deck down to four the nuggets fell back down by 10 points just careless yoke not aggressive nobody's this is like you're watching the clock tick thinking okay when are they gonna get going a couple good minutes will put this game away it wasn't the case 99.91 going into the fourth quarter Adelman goes to Spencer Jones at the five to start. Didn't really work. Jokic back in at the eight minute mark down 10 points. And then the Nuggets just couldn't get any traction. They had to use their second to last time out with like seven minutes to go.
This is how flustered Denver was in this game. Memphis, not trying to lose this fully, they use a challenge late in the game on a Jokic turnover that was called a foul. They win that challenge. Jokic looks at the ref like, yeah, finally, you call something for me. They called it was not a foul. It gets challenged and overturned. Down nine with four minutes to left, and you're just thinking, is somebody going to make a shot or make something happen? Instead, it just was more turnovers and more dispirited defensive effort. The Nuggets get kind of blown out. I mean, it was a seven-point game, but to be honest, There aren't that many notes in the clutch time because it wasn't really that close in the clutch.
The Denver just got outplayed, dispirited, and lost to a team that was trying to lose and a team that had lost eight straight. And this is a game that shifts Denver's odds at a top seed quite a bit. And to be honest, for me personally, shifts the faith quite a bit. Let's get to our Red Hawk roofing big takeaways. Go ahead, Eric. All right, my Redhawk Roofing big takeaway. It's Colfax mode for me, boys. Colfax mode for me. I don't have anything left. That game broke me. I don't have any excuses for the Nuggets.
