The Denver Nuggets head out on the road for a quick one-game road trip. Can they stay perfect this season against the Phoenix Suns?

Last game was a familiar story to Nuggets fans. The Denver Nuggets dropped a double digit lead with four minutes left to play. The Nuggets have now lost five games this season by three points or less. It can’t get much closer than that.

Hopefully the next game against the Phoenix Suns can be a pick-me-up for the young squad. What they can’t do is look past the Suns, they have to focus on getting the win.

This will be the second game for the Nuggets against the Suns. In the first game, the Nuggets won handily 120-104 at the Pepsi Center.

Now the Nuggets take their game to Talking Stick Resort Arena and look to improve to 7-10 on the season.

Here are a couple things to watch for in Sunday’s match-up.

How do you judge the Nuggets season so far? Do you think that this team is young and will eventually win these close games? Or do you think there is another underlying problem? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter!
