Nuggets head coach Michael Malone made a lineup change on Wednesday night, benching Christian Braun for Aaron Gordon against the Knicks.

Never an easy decision,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after choosing to move Christian Braun to the bench with Aaron Gordon returning to Denver’s starting lineup.

Scoring has been climbing as of late, but this year the stat inflation has revealed itself in a more subtle way.

Nikola Jokic's historic first half and triple-double couldn’t save the Nuggets as the Bulls' hot shooting sealed a 129-121 win.

Nikola Jokić can do it all on the court. He’s a triple-double machine, a passing savant, and on Thursday night, showed he can make a full-court shot look as effortless as a free throw.

The Nuggets fell apart late in New York and squandered an opportunity for a quality win. Jamal Murray carried the team on Nikola Jokić’s down night, but the defense’s failure to cover screen rolls and getting clobbered in transition outweighed his impact.

Of course, fans are used to seeing Jokić make incredible passes, but this time it was a shot that sent the NBA world into a frenzy. Jokić pulled off a nearly full court shot to beat the buzzer at the end of the third quarter that put Denver up 110-85.
