Jamal Murray scored nine of his 27 points in the final minutes, leading the Nuggets to a 107-103 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who have now lost seven straight games. Michael Porter Jr. returned to Denver, scoring a season-high 38 points and receiving a standing ovation, after being traded to the Nets in the offseason. Tim Hardaway Jr. contributed 25 points for Denver, which ended a three-game home losing streak. Both teams dealt with injuries, but the Nuggets maintained control in the closing moments despite a late surge from Brooklyn.
