The Nuggets weren’t particularly dynamic, but their dynamite duo certainly was as Denver held off New Orleans for a 122-113 victory Tuesday night.
Center Nikola Jokic scored 26 points and added another triple-double to his fat resume, while guard Jamal Murray led all scorers with 32 points on 10-of-21 shooting. Murray was 7 of 12 on 3-pointers and his long-distance swish with 2:24 left in the game put Denver ahead comfortably, 116-107.
Denver had lost three of its previous four games, but responded Tuesday night in its return to Ball Arena after a three-game road trip.
