This was one to watch as the Nuggets get handed their first loss of the season. The Bucks dominated early in this game jumping out to a 15 point lead. The Nuggets rallied late in the fourth quarter and had a chance to tie the game but the defense of the Bucks kept that from happening. Carlos Boozer and Daron lamb finished with 22 points each and Brandon Jennings notched 10 assists. I spoke to Brandon Jennings at the end of the game I asked him what this win meant moving forward. "It feels great to win on the road. Coming into an atmosphere like this and how loud it could get but we started fast and didn't really finish the way we wanted but either way we got the win." The Nuggets were able to cut the deficit to 2 but couldn't get the tying bucket as Jordan Hamilton led the Nuggets with 30 points on 12 of 19 shooting. Danilo Gallinari struggled as he finished 4-15 and really hurt the Nuggets chances of winning. The Nuggets injury problem really hurt them as They played an unhealthy Ty Lawson 12 minutes in the game and it really looked like he was hurt out there. The Bucks win it here in Denver.
