1st Half- Murray gets the nod at the point, and presumably that means Mudiay sees the court tonight, as it should be. If not, Malone is officially "Searching for Steven." Jameer apparently ate too much Chicago style pizza, on the 90 minute bus ride last night. Fantastic movement on offense early. Secondary defensive effort differential, between Jameer and Jamal is like night and day. Murray is a +8 TPM after just 4 minutes as a result. Gallo dunking on everyone! Jokic/Monroe giving each other defensive trouble. Good to see Middleton back. Mudiay with his first action in several games, in at 2 minute mark. Tremendous 1st qtr ends with the Nuggets up 32-15. Mudiay playing well in his return (he's still better than Jameer). I'm not certain that "wedgie" means what you believe it to mean, Marlowe (Indigo Montoya voice). Juancho is ALSO playing very well. The same could likely be said for all Nuggets tonight, and it's a joy to watch! Everyone who has played, has at least 2 points, as the Nuggets have doubled up the bucks, 44-22 at the 8 minute mark. This Marco character that Ally is interviewing is the bee's-knees, and the cat's-meow, all rolled into one Serbian bundle of unbridled joy! It is never too early to say, END THE JANIGHTMERE! Starting unit comes in at 5 minute mark, up 26. Nuggets with a commanding lead at the half, 63-37
2nd half- Nuggets don't look sharp to begin the 3rd. Bucks picking it up on the defensive end. Hastings tries and fails at another analogy, this one involving chili, for some reason. Terry has about 9 fouls in the first 4 minutes. 8 Nuggets now with 5 or more points. Mudiay in for Murray at 3 minute mark, with a 29 point lead. Jokic could likely get a 3d if he plays at all in the 4th, which doesn't seem likely. Gallo and Chandler now look tired, and along with the bench unit, are not playing much d all of a sudden. Nuggets up 86-66 after 3. Middleton is now raining 3's on us. Not so good to see him back after all. Lead down to 15 at 9 minute mark. Gallo and Jokic return at 8 minute mark. Momentum squarely residing with the Bucks at the moment. All starters now in at 6 minute mark, up 12. Jokic is 1 point shy of a 3d. Jokic now with back to back 3d's! Jokic with the pass of the year, through the defenders legs, but Murray fails to convert rendering it meaningless, according to ESPN. All starters in double figures for the 2nd game in a row. Nuggets win 110-98
Final Thoughts- Jameer who? Nuggets sweep a road b2b for the first time all season!
