The Nuggets didn’t play any D last night as the Sixers shot 55.1% from the floor and it did them in. Chauncey Billups led the way for the Nuggets last night with 27 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. J.R. Smith was solid off the bench in this game with 23 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals in 31 minutes on the floor. Carmelo Anthony, Nene and Ty Lawson pitched in with 12 points apiece in this game. The Nuggets are now 28-19 on the year.
The Nuggets seemed like they were in cruise control most of this game before blowing the Cavs out in the end. Carmelo Anthony led the way for the Nuggets last night with 33 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 blocked shot. Arron Afflalo also had a very solid game with 23 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Ty Lawson filled up the stat sheet with 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in only 27 minutes on the floor. Chauncey Billups (11 points) and J.R. Smith (10 points) also pitched in last night. The Nuggets are now 28-18 on the year.
25-year old shooting guard Arron Afflalo has taken his game to a new level this season. He has played in 45 games (all starts) for the Nuggets so far this year and he is averaging 35.3 minutes, 13.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Afflalo is also shooting the lights out so far this year as he is making 51.5% of his shots from the floor, 43.7% of his shots from three point range and 85.8% from the free throw line. If the Nuggets wind up trading Carmelo Anthony in the coming weeks, Afflalo could become a bigger part of the offense and I can see him easily scoring around 20 points per game with more shots.
