That was like making a double bogey one hole after making an eagle. Kudos to the #Spurs on the comeback. The #Nuggets need help now for the top seed in the West. 🤷♂️ #NBA@nba
Wemby will score 35 a night when he finally realizes that a deep three early in the shot clock is a bad shot for him. #Nuggets 12, #Spurs 12, mid-first quarter. #NBA@nba
Fun matchup between Joker and Wemby. Joker said, “He blocked six or seven of my shots.”
But Wemby didn’t block enough. Joker finished with 42 points, 16 rebounds and six assists, and he got a lot of help from Aaron Gordon (23 points, seven boards) and Michael Porter Jr. (15 points, career-high 16 rebounds).
Wemby, meanwhile, filled up the stat sheet with 23 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists and nine blocks.
Joker likes the challenge of Wemby; he has 15 points and eight rebounds after one quarter. Wemby’s doing well, too, with 12 and six. #Nuggets 30, #Spurs 23, end of the first quarter. #NBA@nba
It’s fair to say #Denver had their legs back today. The #Nuggets were 21-33 from three (64%), and Jokic posted 26-18-16. Final: Nuggets 130, #Cavaliers 101.
"It is an extraordinary transfer for him and for Romania. He is the fourth Romanian to arrive there and I have great confidence that he made the perfect choice”
Obviously Gica Popescu and Dumitrescu were Romanians 1&2. Pub quiz time: who was the third?
That should be game. Richarlison with Spurs third goal, and a great finish too.
We're actually getting value from our £60m center forward. Has Richy turned a corner? If he can perform in the middle consistently, Son will be an absolute menace on the outside.
Great ball from Pedro Porro.
A rampant Spurs are having fun out here! You love to see it.
Hoping this isn't gonna be another one of those games like against West Ham where Spurs dominate possession and chances, but just struggle to capitalize.
This definitely feels like a must-win game this afternoon to get out of this slump and consolidate within the top 4.
If you compare our car crash with the season our noisy neighbours are having, can they really be satisfied that 14 games in, over one third of the season gone, that they are only 6 points ahead of us.
Going along at 2.4 pts per game they are going to find it difficult to increase that pace whereas, with a full squad again we certainly should.
How will Joker handle Wemby? On an offensive rebound with Wemby behind him, Joker passed to the top of the key for a Justin Holiday three. #Nuggets 12, #Spurs 7, first quarter. #NBA@nba
