Nuggets beat Sonics 138-96

 

Nothing like ending up with a 3 game losing streak by coming with 138 and win the game, and that is the case with the Nuggets, who scored the most points for the whole league this season in the NBA.

With the Western Conference being the most competitive of the two, and trying to get a space in the playoffs, it is almost a duty for teams like the Nuggets to beat low profile teams like the Sonics, who finished the game with 96 points. Interestingly, the team that scored the most points before this game were the Suns and against Denver, so the victory had a different meaning for the Nuggets.

Kenyon Martin had 23 points, while Carmelo Anthony finished with 14 for the Nuggets, while for the Sonics, Mickael Gelabale and Kevin Durant both finished with 16.

It is a tough race on the West, the street-wise mentality that the Nuggets have carried since signing both Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson is a sign of a good coming show, but it will not help Denver as a team in order to make it to the playoffs since they play mostly in an individual way.

And with teams like the Spurs or the Lakers on the same conference, they cannot allowed to spoil their good run so far.
