Nuggets regroup and look like former selves. Live to see another game

The Nuggets were down in the series 3-1 going into wednesdays game with the weight of being eliminated on their shoulders. The Nuggets have never won a elimination game before being 0-7 and the Jazz have never lost an elimination game at 8-0. Everything looked in the Jazz favors but beating the Nuggets at home is not an easy task to do.

The Nuggets knew they had to win this game or go home and they certainly weren't choosing to go home early. The main things the Nuggets needed to focus on in this game was ball movement, 20+ assist, bench players and especially J.R Smith getting hot late in the game. In fact all these things happened for the Nuggets who looked like their former selves and won 116-102.

Everything went good for the Nuggets, Carmelo did not get into foul trouble, the ball was being rotated and kicked out to open shooters especially from the post. The Nuggets had more than 20 assist and everybody stepped up especially Affalo who hit 3 of 3 from behind the 3 point line. J.R. Smith was also connecting on his three pointers and helped the Nuggets extend the lead. Chauncey Billups played exceptionally well also by keeping his dribble alive, dishing to big men inside for lay up's and scoring when the Nuggets needed a bucket.

The Nuggets need to continue that excellent style of play if they expect to shock the basketball world and come back from being 3-1 down in the series. The only way to do so is to play like the way they played game 5 as the "Real Denver Nuggets".
