Joker passes three-quarter court to Porter Jr. for the three. Jokic is still the best QB in #Denver. #Nuggets 13, #Grizzlies 4, early first quarter. #NBA@nba
Somebody might have to drag the exhausted #Nuggets to the airport, but they held off the #Blazers with spirited fourth-quarter defense and seven players in double figures.
Aaron Gordon carried #Denver for much of the game, posting 22 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocks while taking a beating in the lane like a #Broncos linebacker. Reggie Jackson added 23 points and five assists.
#Denver was in the flow tonight, which led to a solid 113-100 win over the #Knicks. The main negative: Jamal Murray twisting his left ankle with 41 seconds left.
The numbers:
— Michael Porter Jr.: 31 points, eight rebounds. He also broke Denver’s single-season record for three-pointers;
— Joker being Joker: 30 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists;
— Murray: 23 points, six rebounds, four assists.
Next up: At Portland on Saturday, hopefully with Murray leading the way. #NBA@nba
#Denver’s taking advantage of the absence of Gobert — Joker has 13 points and eight rebounds, and Gordon has eight points and eight boards. #Nuggets 35, #Timberwolves 28, end of the first. #NBA@nba

Justin Holiday with a bail-out three for the #Nuggets at the third-quarter buzzer. #Denver’s choppy on offense, but Jokic has 31 points to help them to a 86-79 lead. #NBA@nba
