Red Hot Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets took on the Oklahoma City Thunder last night to capture their 8th win in a row. They also have won 9 of their last 10. The Nuggets squeaked out the win 122-112 by having a huge fourth quarter. As usual Carmelo had a big game which took them to a win, going for 31 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Backup center Chris Anderson also came up big with 7 blocks in the game, while his fellow center, Nene, was the second leading scorer with 23 points. With that win last night the Nuggets are 27 games above five hundred for the first time in francise history. The Nuggets also only need 2 more wins to surpass the franchise record of 54 wins set back in 1987-1988. To extend their win streak they will need to beat the Lakers tonight in Los Angeles. If they go into LA and win they will clinch being the Northwest champs and also clinch a 2 seed, giving them homecourt advantage in the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. "It would be huge, man, especially at this time of the year and for what we're trying to accomplish," Anthony said. "That would be a big win for us."
