Well – THAT happened. After sleepwalking through the entire first half, and trailing by 15 entering the third quarter … the Nuggets put forth a tremendous rally to seal their seventh straight win. Capped off by the mother of all circus shots by one Danilo Gallinari.
I can't help but think that the absolute best part of that shot was not that it went in, but Gallo proceeds to get up and act like he meant to do that … and then struts like a cool cat. Amazing. Secondarily, Chris Marlowe absolutely lost his marbles while calling this play. As Nate pointed out in his recap from last night, a lot of very crazy things happened last night.
Aside from that here are some links for your morning. Hope everyone is enjoying this Nuggets 7-game winning streak as much as I have been.
Disclaimer: I refuse to post articles from Mark Kiszla as of this point on. At this point he's just trolling Nuggets fans and it is sad. I'm not going to contribute to it. Read him if you like, but don't expect his articles to be posted in a column I write anymore.
