Nuggets vs Knicks Archives - The Answer is 42 LLC

The Denver Nuggets came in with a chance to rekindle their season-long dominance. The home team had other plans.

On March 18, 2023, the Denver Nuggets faced off against the New York Knicks in a highly anticipated game. Despite putting up a valiant effort, the Nuggets ultimately fell to the Knicks by a score of 116-110. I had a much rosier picture of this game for Nuggets fans in my preview.

Throughout the game, both teams displayed impressive offensive abilities, with several players delivering outstanding performances. For the Nuggets, star point guard Jamal Murray led the charge with 25 points and six assists. He was closely followed by center Nikola Jokic and power forward Aaron Gordon, who added 24 and 14 points, respectively.

On the Knicks’ side, Julius Randle was a standout player, scoring 20 points and collecting 7 rebounds. RJ Barrett added 21 points, while Jalen Brunson lead all Knicks scorers with 21 points and threw up 5 assists.

Despite the Nuggets putting up a strong fight, the Knicks managed to pull ahead in the fourth quarter and secure the win. The Knicks stars were able to hold the entire Nuggets squad to just 19 points in the final frame. This late-season skid has seen the Denver Nuggets lose that killer instinct and have shown an inability to close out victories. Let’s hope they are getting this out their system now as the playoffs creep close.

The loss was another tough one for the Nuggets, but their fans still have plenty to be excited about this season. Still sitting in first place in the Western Conference standings, the Nuggets have shown time and time again that they can compete with the best teams in the league. They just need to get back to beating them too.

Overall, the game was a thrilling back-and-forth affair that showcased the skill and talent of both teams. Fans of the Nuggets can look forward to more exciting games like this for the rest of the season, just hopefully with more wins than losses mixed in.

The Denver Nuggets next game will be against the Brooklyn Nets on March 20, 2023. It will be interesting to see if the Nuggets can bounce back from this loss and get some revenge for the 122-120 loss to the Nets on March 12.

When you are a Nuggets squad that boasts MVP Nikola Jokic averaging a triple-double with a 24.7 pts/10 ast/11.9 rebs slash. Teammate Jamal Murray coming off his second double-double of the season versus the Detroit Pistons on Thursday was a boon. That should have the Nuggets primed to be at full-go in Madison Square Garden.
