Show Notes
The Denver Nuggets secured their fifth consecutive victory, narrowly beating the Utah Jazz 135-129. Despite trailing by ten with five minutes left, they closed with a 21-5 run. The Jazz scored 84 points in the paint, their highest allowed since the 1996-97 season. The Nuggets, who average 50.9 paint points allowed, struggled defensively, letting Utah shoot over 55% from the floor. Nikola Jokic acknowledged their poor defense early in the second half. This performance raises concerns for the playoffs, where paint protection could be crucial.
