Denver improved to 4-0 with a 110-102 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night. After blowing away the Thunder by more than 30 points in the previous night, this was the second game back-to-back for the side. Denver lost the rebounding battle, 51-43, and shot only 32.1 percent from deep, while leading by double digits for the majority of the game. That's been a theme for the Nuggets, who have found many ways to win, resulting in a strong start to the season. Off the bench, Christian Braun was a star. He finished with 9 points on 50% shooting and 7 rebounds. In the fourth quarter, he even defended Lauri Markannen for long minutes.
Nikola Jokić kept the shots pouring in, scoring the opening four points of the quarter. The team also saw good contributions from reserves, Nnaji, Bruan, and Watson. Denver led by 80-69 points going into the last 12 minutes and kept their unbeaten status alive.
