DENVER — When the Nuggets take flight for their upcoming road trip, they’ll only have themselves to blame for not carrying a 10-game winning streak with them.
Denver’s free throw shooting was abysmal Sunday against the Thunder, and it cost them in a 101-99 loss. The Nuggets connected on just 17 of 33 from the line and Jamal Murray missed a jumper at the buzzer that would’ve sent the game to overtime.
But without Nikola Jokic, who missed the contest with a hamstring injury, and Michael Porter Jr., who sat due to personal reasons, the Nuggets’ margin for error was too slim. They shot just 3 for 10 from the line in the fourth quarter.
