The Nuggets will play an NBA-leading 17th back-to-back on March 18, flying into Memphis after hosting the 76ers for a rescheduled game against the Grizzlies.

Did you know that the Nuggets’ Peyton Watson never got more than 14 shots in a regular-season game while Michael Porter Jr. was here?

Among the finite number of ways a basketball game can end, this one was about as unusual and irreplicable as they get.

Even with late-game heroics, the Nuggets could only tread water for so long.

“It was just so weird to see exactly where it was in the city, because I knew exactly where it was,” Adelman said. “And from the drone shot, it looked like a war zone. And that’s the country we live in.”

While no one will forget Payton going for it on fourth down, no one will remember Jokic’s fourth MVP award if his health undermines a championship season.
