Sloppy start but Michael Porter Jr.’s jumper is still clean. He’s hit a pair of shots. Nuggets up 7-3 early in Indiana. – 7:16 PM

MPJ had a sheepish grin when he said he thought Denver would’ve still won had he closed vs. SA, but his actions, despite watching from the bench, spoke volumes.
“That’s a big part of our culture,” Malone said. “Get over yourself, it’s not about you.”

“It’s definitely tough because (the Spurs) have motivation to win, especially losing the last game. We knew they were going to come in here and give us a great effort, and that’s what they did.” – 12:39 AM

Jamal Murray looks so happy to be competitive like this again. In that zone.
Bruce Brown and KCP displayed tonight the power of defensive intensity and grit.
Nikola Jokić is Nikola Jokić and Michael Porter Jr made a lot of shots.
Good win! – 12:12 AM

Me: It’s weird not putting MPJ back in when the Nuggets are struggling to buy a shot
Jamal and Jokic: Make stuff happen, Nuggets also get a turnover
MPJ, great teammate that he is, just grinning ear to ear. All he wants is Ws. pic.twitter.com/1FRx42QMLx – 11:42 PM

The combo of Jokic and Murray are too much for the Spurs right now. And when MPJ gets in the mix as well, it’s a tough ask for this defense. – 11:01 PM

When Michael Porter Jr.’s hot, you know Nikola Jokic is going to look for him. Love the early-season chemistry between those two. – 10:31 PM

Michael Singer: MPJ said, for him, he doesn’t think shooting 50% from 3 is that unrealistic. He said in high school he shot around 75% from 3. He wasn’t joking. -via Twitter @msinger / November 1, 2022
