The Nuggets didn’t play well on D last night as the Hornets shot 52% from the floor and it cost them. Danilo Gallinari (15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots) and Ty Lawson (15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal) led the way for the Nuggets in this game. Rudy Fernandez (14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) and Arron Afflalo (13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) also pitched in for the Nuggets in this game. The Nuggets are now 6-4 on the season.

23-year old small forward Danilo Gallinari is doing a solid job for the Nuggets so far this year. He has played in 9 games (all starts) for the Nuggets so far this year and he is averaging 33.3 minutes, 16.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game. He is only shooting 10 of 41 (24.4%) from three point range, so maybe he should give up the long range bombing for a while until he starts improving in that area. That being said, Gallinari has been a big reason why the Nuggets are off to such a good start this year.

The Nuggets shot 56.8% from the floor last Saturday Night, but they didn’t play any defense (the Spurs shot 55.1%) and that did them in. Danilo Gallinari led the way for the Nuggets in this game with 31 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Ty Lawson (20 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal) and Al Harrington (19 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist) also had good games for the Nuggets last Saturday Night. Arron Afflalo (12 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot), Corey Brewer (11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals in 12 minutes on the floor) and Rudy Fernandez (11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal) also pitched in for the Nuggets in this game. The Nuggets are now 6-3 on the year.

The Nuggets outscored the Hornets 34-25 in the 4th quarter to surge to a nice road win tonight. Danilo Gallinari led the way for the Nuggets in this game with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot. Al Harrington (14 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals), Arron Afflalo (13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists) and Andre Miller (13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) also had solid games for the Nuggets.

The Nuggets shot an amazing 60.5% from the floor last night, which was a big reason for the easy win. But, they also outrebounded the Kings 48-37 and they held them to 32.6% shooting from the floor.
