SALT LAKE CITY — The Nuggets might finally be breaking a decades-old curse in Utah.
Denver’s NBA team had never won two road games against the Jazz in a season in franchise history — until now, with a 132-121 triumph on Monday night at Delta Center.
The Nuggets (18-13) held Utah to 23 points in the third quarter while Nikola Jokic scored 17 of his 36 points, part of his 13th triple-double of the season (23 rebounds, 10 assists).
Fast break
Why the Buffs lost: CU committed 19 turnovers and surrendered 20 offensive rebounds, digging a hole that couldn’t be erased by a solid shooting night.
Three stars
1. CU’s Julian Hammond III. The senior guard led the way the entire night, recording 21 points, four rebounds and four assists without committing a turnover.

Whether poking fun at politicians or simply trying to make the best of a bad Donald Trump, the writers and comedians of late-night shows lightened the load for us this year.
Hosts like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel appealed to our funny bones in the face of a ludicrous Republican Party, whose billionaire clown-king leader makes it a lot harder to be funny four to five days a week.
Here are 13 notable moments from late night, in what may have been the longest year on record.

One of the more frustrating things about Trump’s electoral success is how transparently deranged and corrupt he is.
Certainly, the final game with his sons didn’t turn out how Colorado head football Deion Sanders envisioned.
A 36-14 loss to BYU in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Saturday put a disappointing cap on the many years he has coached Shedeur and Shilo, from the youth leagues to now.
The Alamo Bowl won’t take away from the journey, though.
Before every game, Coach Prime has walked the sidelines with Shedeur, the Buffaloes’ star quarterback – one way as coach and one way as a dad.
A local sauce slinger said business hasn’t been too hot.
Merfs Condiments, which said its hot sauce could once be found in 700 restaurants and another 400 stores, will close early next year.
“The product is in high demand, but I can’t make any money,” said Kelly Schexnaildre, owner of Merfs, which is named after her dog Murphy.
