  • Michael Malone happy to continue playing DeAndre Jordan at backup center while Nuggets’ second unit thrives
    Denver Post, Thursday - 12/26/2024 - 07:45 AM

    On a Nuggets road trip packed with memorable moments and sequences, one that won’t be remembered is the start of the fourth quarter in Portland. Trailing 104-87 as Nikola Jokic went to the bench, Denver’s second unit suddenly supplied its best stint of the season — a 16-2 run fueled by reinvigorated defense and steady rebounding.

  • Nuggets’ offense gets sloppy in Christmas Day loss to Phoenix Suns
    Denver Post, Thursday - 12/26/2024 - 01:30 AM

    PHOENIX — Unlike the last two years, the Nuggets were not surrounded by the comforts of home this Christmas. Extracted from the mountains and dropped in the desert, they couldn’t find any flow in a 110-100 loss to the Suns. Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant combined for 52 points with impressive shot-making inside the arc, and Denver’s offense had an uncharacteristic dud at Footprint Center.

  • Mahomes throws 3 TDs as Chiefs clinch AFC’s top seed by breezing past the skidding Steelers 29-10
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 12/25/2024 - 04:06 PM

    By WILL GRAVES PITTSBURGH — Andy Reid donned a Santa Claus suit in a giddy Kansas City Chiefs locker room on Christmas Day, then handed his team a present it increasingly looks like it deserves: home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. How Reid managed to slide into the costume so quickly after Kansas City’s clinical 29-10 victory over the reeling Pittsburgh Steelers to lock up the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven years is a mystery (though he hinted there’s an elf involved). How Reid’s team manages to pull away from the pack year after year is not. A lot of Patrick Mahomes.
