The Nuggets’ 112-110 loss to the Wizards on Thursday night was always going to be a bad loss.
But it wasn’t just the fact that it was a loss. It was the way that they lost that really makes this bad. The Nuggets had a 4-on-1 fastbreak at the end of the game with the opportunity to tie — and maybe even win — in the final seconds.
Jamal Murray brought the ball down on the break with Michael Porter Jr., Monte Morris and Facu Campazzo all running with him. Instead of getting a bucket out of this golden opportunity, they did this.
