Nuggets coach Michael Malone could only throw his hands in frustration after Jamal Murray dribbled into traffic and lost one of their 16 turnovers. Will Barton was the biggest culprit with four miscues on the night, followed by three more from Gary Harris. “They kicked our ass,” Malone said. “Turnovers, threw the ball all over the gym, 27 points off turnovers, 62 in our paint, 19 on the glass, blah, blah, blah.”
The Nuggets are in such a good spot that any major move seems unnecessary ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline, and Jamal Murray seemed to think they’d largely stay out of the fray. “As long as it’s not with our team, we’re good,” Murray said. “Even if it was, we’re really quiet about it. Just put our head down and work. We’ve always been that way. Whatever happens around the league, happens around the league. It doesn’t have anything to do with us.”
Harrison Wind: Nuggets will only have two of their regular starters (Barton, Jokic) for tonight’s game vs Pistons. Gary Harris, Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap are all out. I’d expect Monte Morris and Malik Beasley to continue to start while minutes are available for reserve guard Brandon Goodwin.
