The Denver Nuggets crushed the New York Knicks 113-99 in Madison Square Garden. The win helps quickly erase the bitter taste of the loss to the Orlando Magic, but it also confirms the reality that it’s far too early to surrender this season.
The Nuggets have the reigning league MVP in Nikola Jokic who demonstrated yet again he’s somehow upping his game this season.
Nuggets fan can smile at least until Monday, when they face another tough foe in the Chicago Bulls in the midst of this 7-game road rip, but there’s at least three important takeaways from Saturday’s matinee win.
