The Nuggets showcased their scoring depth and efficiency throughout the game.

His performance was not only pivotal in securing the win but also highlighted his role as a cornerstone for Denver's offense. Michael Porter Jr. followed closely, lighting up the scoreboard with 36 points and grabbing seven rebounds. His shooting from beyond the arc was particularly lethal, converting on 58 percent of his three-point attempts.

Jamal Murray also made significant contributions with 20 points and eight assists, demonstrating his ability to both score and facilitate for others effectively. The team's overall shooting accuracy was notable as well; they shot at a rate of 50 percent from the field and managed to convert on 36 percent of their attempts from three-point range.

Opposition Efforts
