Strongest post move I’ve ever seen Frank make. Good for him
Frank was solid all-around tonight. I appreciate him on nights like tonight. Turns out that was a good pick up for us thus far.
Frank probably deserved his own special mention in the Good column .. he played well, didn't score much but kept the defence guessing with nice fakes and passes. 3 ORB on review of the box score. Nice.

Ayton very engaged. Still soft. But engaged
Good enough for me. He’s always just going to be a gentle giant.

Awful last few minutes of the 3rd - four turnovers in a row. Probably my fault as I’ve just turned the game on.....sorry 😬
Ah! I was wondering why things went south all of a sudden! :)

Maybe Booker and Paul were worried they wouldn't get any playing time in the 4th.
It’s obvious now that they were setting themselves up for that ending. They knew they needed to practice close end of game situations.

Offense has gone cold. This is why we have Book and CP3. They are gonna have to win this game.
Yup. Nailed it.

We getting tired? Or did Jokic going out with 5 fouls cause us to lay off the gas a bit? Been rough since then. This is when Paul and Book need to bring is home though.
I guess it was no secret, huh?

I blame Kendall Jenner for Booker’s mixed start to the season.
Dude, just cue up your video and be quiet. :P

I know we were up big and still lead but this will be a really good win if we can hang on. Back to back and nuggets have all the momentum now makes it a real character test.
It was a very nice win. Still things to clean up but to win in Denver on a back-to-back when the Nuggets desperately needed a win is impressive.

I can't see us winning - they're close, it's back to back, it's altitude, jamal and jokic will see it home barring some superstar stuff from Paul or Booker

Jokic for 3 WTF. Great shot, hardly jumped.
It was pure too. Perfect arc and swish.

Usually when u steal a tip it automatically goes to the other team as it is a clear violation of the rules...unless you’re these refs who don’t seem to have a firm grasp on basketball rules🙄
Yeah, that miffed me. Jokic knew that was his only chance. Just glad we got the tip afterall.

Paul and Ayton had a moment coming off the court. Makes my heart warm.
Dang, I missed that. Still have the Denver broadcast to watch. Hopefully, they showed it as well.

At the end of the day, a win is a win. The standings don't put asterisks next to your wins of they are nearly blown or only by a point.
Happens to every team. We just need to learn from it and get better.

Jazz beat Clippers so we’re alone atop the West at the moment.
Not just the West.
