Danilo Gallinari- B+

Gallinari had been somewhat quiet this season. In this game, he finally showcased his efficiency.

With 19 points at almost 67% shooting, Gallinari proved to be a solid scorer he believes he is in this game.

He also grabbed 5 impressive boards which aided Denver’s rebounding effort, something they have thrived in this year.

The difference it seems with tonight compared to the last two games was that he didn’t force things as much and let the offense flow more. His efficiency was huge for the Nuggets and his ability to help stretch the floor proved crucial as he hit several key threes down the stretch in a killer third quarter.

As the season goes on, it would be nice to see Gallinari to continue this efficiency.
