The Denver Nuggets overcame a slow start to eventually prevail over the Phoenix Suns. As a result, they completed the season series sweep.
Despite being without their best player in Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets saw a multitude of players step up in his absence.
Starters, bench players, rookies, you name it, all had a huge role in the win. The biggest impact came from Danilo Gallinari who poured in a game high 32 points for the Nuggets.
I recently wrote on how Gallo had been consistent as of late and that he would become the first scoring option during Jokic’s absence.
