What happened in the quick game breakdown and opening takeaways?
Turn it up, Kale. Turn it up. Let's let it get funky tonight. Turn it up. Fire it up. I don't care if it was the Wizards. That was fun. Do you hear that? I don't care. That was fun. Do you hear that? I don't know, but I can imagine what it is. I can imagine what it is. What is up, everybody? Welcome to the Winners' Line. Let's go. Presented by Bet365. Dev, how are we doing our bets tonight? I don't even want to talk about it. But they're going to call.
They're going to call us? They're going to call one of us today.
They're going to call it to play?
They're on to us. Some are saying it's a full sweep.
A full sweep, man. I love when we hit our bets and get a win.
And a career high.
So many things, man. I feel like these last couple games have dragged on. Not a lot to talk about. Same talking points. All new. Fresh talking points just dropped, boys. Nice. Brennan votes in the house. What's up, fellas? Looks like rebounds are back on the menu, huh?
Well, tonight they were for sure. Harrison Wind is with us. It's so nice to win a rebounding battle. I assume the Nuggets won the rebounding battle. They did. It's so nice, man. I forgot what this felt like.
I know. This is a very bad rebounding team. They narrowly edged out, but it doesn't matter. It's a win. It's not a 20-point disparity. Routing out the show, the superstar, Superstar Dev.
Some people are wondering why there was funky music. In the winner's lounge. Right. It's another dub without Jokic and we get close.
Yeah, we're contractually obligated to play it every time the Nuggets win without Jokic. Sneaky big one for the Nuggets, man.
Picking this one up. They moved to 30 and 15 right on pace for the 40-20. Right on pace, man. Oh, wow. We are. We're going to go right up against it, man, all the way to the end. You guys want a fast breakdown? Relive the highlights here? Yes. Big Val back in the lineup, and boy, did he announce his presence early. He was everywhere. Eight points, four boards before there was a first whistle. Remember the beginning of this game? No out of bounces, no whistles or anything. He was gasping, but man, he was dominant. Eight points, four boards. P. Watt, by the way, stuffing the stat sheet early. First two notes told the story of the game. Wizards hit a bunch of threes, though, to end the quarter that made this game kind of close.
27-23 Nuggets. And it was uncomfortable because it kind of felt like the Nuggets dominated, but just didn't make enough shots. And in that second quarter, man, there was a lid on the rim for the Nuggets. If you're going back to rewatch this game, skip the first six minutes of the second quarter. Just fast forward. Nothing happened for the Nuggets. But P. Watt then hit three threes. Nuggets finally opened up a little lead, but then they went cold again. That second quarter was ugly, man. What did they score in the second quarter? Was it more than I'm thinking? No, they scored 21 points. It was ugly. They could not make a shot. Not as ugly as it has been in the... last couple quarters that this team has played.
It's actually true. 48-46 Nuggets at the break. Third quarter. P. Watt was playing incredible. He started to feel it. In fact, I actually kind of wish he was more aggressive at one point because I felt like he was scoring every single time. Big Val also picking up some second chance points. P. Watt and Keyshawn George had a little rivalry going. P. Watt was getting it done on both ends of the floor. Might be his best two-way game of his entire career tonight. Uh, lead was back up to twelve. The Nuggets kept doing this where they get the lead up to twelve, but immediately blew it. Then Piwa appeared to roll an ankle. That may be a storyline that pops up tomorrow.
How did Peyton Watson build toward his career‑high early in the game?
Jamal Murray, though, with about once he went out and with, I don't know, two, three minutes left in the third quarter, Murray, who had had a very quiet and I would even say passive night. Like he sensed the moment. All right. P what's carrying us. But now he's out. I got to take over. And Jamal Murray really got himself going. Nuggets had a nice lead again. It looked like this game was about to be put away.
