Last night they beat an OKC team with a legitimate big 3 and a team that some have high expectations of this year.
The Denver Nuggets have also beaten the team with the most wins in the NBA and MVP contender Kawhi Leonard.
Rather memorably, the Nuggets have beaten the Celtics with a fiery hot Kyrie, the Los Angeles Clippers and virtually every other NBA championship contender apart from the Milwaukee Bucks. However, that game revealed mistakes that the Denver Nuggets can easily correct:
