We Can Play Offense Really Well

37 points in a quarter is insane for even a normal NBA game much less a summer league game. View all the highlights here for this game here.

Well, Nori congrats, because so far it has worked.

The Denver Nuggets, who did not lose a quarter the entire game, were thoroughly magnificent with only three guys not shooting over 50% from the field. It was also nice to see Wyoming standout Josh Adams get some minutes and produce 7 points on 3/6 shooting.

This is hopefully a preview of what will happen this summer with or without 26 points from Jimmer, who may not make the real roster. The big surprise was how well Cornelie was offensively. He got some shots to go, and he finally got going. For being the No. 53 pick, he did excellent. Heck, for any pick, the way he played would have been excellent.

This team will be competing tonight against the Miami Heat which is aired on ESPN2, so do not forget to tune in for this game which we hope to see another high-scoring affair.

Now, we are going to look more into individual players performances in this game.

Next: Jimmer is still Jimmer
