NBA
Regular Season Round 91: Denver N. - Houston R. 118-110
Date: January 30, 2013
Uno! Due! Gallo! The Italian Danilo Gallinari hit three key 3-pointers, two of them back-to-back, in Wednesday's crazy fourth quarter, and the Nuggets did it again. Make it a dozen. The Nuggets won their 12th game of January in the final game of the month, and fifth straight overall, 118-110 against Houston, a team Denver also beat one week ago. The Nuggets made it interesting, indeed. Just as in the previous game against Indiana, a big fourth-quarter lead dwindled. On Wednesday, Denver led by 13 points with 6:54 remaining, but the home team made the necessary stops and sent the fans home happy (with tacos, too!). Gallo was gallant. The Nuggets forward, the team's top player in this 12-3 month, scored a team-high 27 points, doing so on a respectable 10-for-17 shooting. He also unleashed two monster slams, one a one-handed hammer over Greg Smith, the other after dribbling the length of the floor. And his two consecutive treys gave Denver a 94-86 lead during an push in the early stages of the final quarter. And so, the Nuggets (29-18) have won those five consecutive games heading into two winnable games, first against New Orleans on Friday and then against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Kenneth Faried floated in Denver's first points of the night on a hook shot, and the next two, too, setting the tone for a big scoring night. The man they call "The Manimal" finished with 19 points, his hair flailing every which way along the way. He also was effective from the foul line, making 7-of-8 free throws. Faried also had a great night on the boards, corralling nine. The game was sloppy, both teams cracking 20 turnovers and both teams shooting poorly from 3-point range. And in the first three quarters, Ty Lawson was quite quiet. The sputtering motor of the Nuggets was 2-for-8 from the field for four points and just two turnovers. But he finished with 16 points, including an important 3-ball in the fourth. In four of the past Blog: Nuggets Ink The Denver Post's Benjamin Hochman posts analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Nuggets. five games, Lawson had put up a big number, scoring 18, 26, 21 and 29 points. Even before the game, Karl was asked about his team's frightening ability to blow late leads, seen in January games against Portland, Oklahoma City and Indiana. "In the NBA, every night someone blows a lead. And it's like we're surprised," Karl said. "It happened last night; it will happen tonight. I'd like to finish off games better, and we had a little bit of a film study with our starters about where our lack of mental intensity has shown up. But you can overlook the 40 minutes of good basketball, and we're still in the process of growing up as a basketball team." Courtesy of: https://www.denverpost.com
