If the Nuggets want to finish the regular season as the Western #1 seed, they must win this kind of home game.

ORL seems to be turning the corner, they've drafted well and have some players stepping up. That said, we ARE the defending champs and this feels like a payback game for our loss on their homecourt back in NOV. Gotta be riding high after last night's come-from-behind victory, time to take care of some unfinished business and get that next win-streak turned into a tsunami-win-streak.

Nice +9 lead after 1st quarter.

Aaron Gordon's dog should be hired as the Nuggets' new assistant coach. Once again this week AG looks like the most motivated player on the court.

Orlando without its best player Frank Wagner is not a team the champion should lose at home after a double-digit lead at halftime.

We wasted that miraculous yesterday's comeback with this cheap loss.

Gotta agree, this loss should not have happened. ORL is a team on the rise but if we're looking for HCA throughout the playoffs again, these are games we must win, especially coming off that high from the GSW win.

Back to backs have built in schedule loss potential. Add in travel in between games and you have the probability that the Nuggets were bound to get exhausted. It showed.
