Nets look like a team coming off an emotional win on the second night of a back-to-back set. Down 52-39 at halftime in Denver. Could be the altitude though.
Nuggets 52, Nets 39 at halftime. It's going as well as you'd expect on Night 2 of a back to back in Denver. Nets shot 32% in 2nd Q. They're lucky Denver is shooting just 42% or this could be worse. Thomas: 11 pts Bridges: 9 pts Murray: 14 pts Jokic: 10-7R-6A.
That Nic Claxton bucket ended a nine-miss drought. Nets are just 14/39 from the field so far. Down 12 with 2:14 left in the first half.
Nets have only scored 10 points this Q so far and that was as pretty a fastbreak as you'll see. Joker spin move to Porter to Gordon for a reverse dunk. Nuggets 43, Nets 32. 351 2nd
Nets trail 28-22 at Denver. Outside of the five turnovers and shooting 8-19 so far, the Nets have hung in. Jamal Murray: 9 pts (4-5) Jokic: 5 assists, 4 pts, 3 rebs Bridges: 7 pts
Five Nets turnovers so far this Q but the Nets are down just 23-19.

Final from downtown Phoenix: Nets 116, Suns 112
It's a reverse of last night in Phoenix. The Suns nearly gave up a late 4th Q lead to the Warriors yesterday. The Nets, who lead by 8 with 1:24 left, are now just up two with 16 seconds left
That's 5 fouls on Devin Booker with 3:59 to go
Cam Thomas opens the 4th with three baskets and he's the main ball handler in this lineup....but can he balance shot hunting with restraint since Booker/Beal are also on the court Thomas has 22 points and the Nets are up 3
Devin Booker: 26 pts on 11 shots. And 10 assists. Yeah.....that's pretty good methinks
The Nets have gone zone vs. Phoenix and the Suns have responded by putting Beal and KD on the same zone. It ends in this three for Little. https://t.co/VeXM613hQI

Nets 64, Suns 56 at halftime Cam Johnson 15 points on a perfect 5-5 shooting with 5 rebounds, 4 assists Claxton: 10 pts Thomas: 9 pts Bridges: 8 pts on 2-10 shooting Booker has a game-high 17 pts for PHX, Durant 13.
