DENVER — The circus came to town Saturday night, and Bones Hyland was the ringleader.
The Nuggets’ precocious guard shimmied and waltzed all over the Spurs, spearheading a complete team effort in their 126-101 win. Now 6-3 overall and 4-0 at home, Hyland played to the fans like only he can do with his audacious dribbling and outlandish confidence.
After missing two consecutive games with a hip strain, maybe some of Hyland’s energy had been bottled up. He finished with 24 points on six 3-pointers, with seven assists and five rebounds. Off the bench, his energy was infectious. As a team, the Nuggets tallied 37 assists and shot 60% from the field.
