How will the Nuggets respond to losing 3 straight?

(This has been a constant since my first preview against the Brooklyn Nets. Here’s hoping I can leave it off for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.)

Since a 129-103 beatdown at the hands of the Pistons Feb. 4, each game has admittedly gotten better.

Things looked a little more promising in a five-point loss to the Nets before the Nuggets effort finally returned in the loss to the Sixers.

But they’ll be looking to finally put everything together Monday.

“We can have energy and run around but, you know, it’s not gonna help us,” Jokic said. “I think we need to stay focused and take the best shot every time so if we do have energy, it doesn’t mean nothing.”

Being back at the Pepsi Center will surely help. The Nuggets are 23-4 in the Mile High City and just 14-14 on the road.
