For the first time this season, two players on the same team scored 30 points in a single game. Which two do you ask? Take a wild guess. It was none other than Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony, of course, the prolific NBA All Star starters who simply cannot be stopped this season.
The Nuggs showed absolute dominance against the Suns last night, scoring 101 points before the fourth quarter even started. High energy J.R. Smith was also a force to be reckoned with, hitting six of eight three pointers while scoring 20 points himself.
Both A.I. and Melo had double doubles as well, with Iverson racking up 12 assists with his 31 points and Melo snagging 13 boards to go with his 30 points.
What it all boils down to is that Denver is playing the best basketball it has all season. With the league leading Spurs coming to D-Town on Friday and a trip to Utah Saturday, and again in San Antonio on Monday, this could be the toughest stretch the Nuggs have faced all year.
Things are definitely getting exciting in the West, and the Nuggs are only three games behind a guaranteed playoff spot if they can catch the Jazz, and a game out of eighth place in the West behind the Warriors.
