While our Denver Nuggets have certainly had their fair share of ups and downs this season, there's still one thing they haven't accomplished: beaten an elite team, at home or on the road. By my counting, the NBA has only seven such "elite" teams this season (in no particular order): the Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors and Thursday night's opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
So if the Nuggets can best the Thunder on Thursday night, they'd be putting one heck of a cap on a four-game winning streak.
