Late in the first half, Danilo Gallinari took the outlet pass from Timofey Mozgov and raced down the court. Faried streaked down the opposite side of the floor and Gallo through a two-handed floater that looked like it was going to hit the rafters. But as we’ve seen Faried do so many times before, he levitated into the stratosphere, secured the lob and finished with a vicious one-hand slam. The play surely brought Nuggets fans out of their seats. It’s just too bad it turned out to be about the only impressive play of the night for the team.
