Comeback of the Year!

On  March 23rd, at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado the new-look Nuggets took the court to play against the top team in the NBA this season, the San Antonio Spurs. In the first half of play the Spurs looked like a team on a mission to win a Championship, finding us down by five at half with the largest lead blooming to 14. However the second half was a completely different story. In the 4th the Nuggets went on a 11-0 run to steal the lead for the first time since the opening minutes when they lead 3-2. The game came down to the final possession, with 6 seconds left Wilson Chandler a freshly acquired Nugget took the ball and hit a jumper just inside the free throw line to take the lead, and the Nuggets never looked back.

Back on Track

After Saturday nights loss against the big "3" and the rest of the Miami team the nuggets get another shot to stop this streak. So far since the trade the Nuggets are 9-4, where as the Knicks have dropped to a lowely 6-7 record. While the Nuggets have certainly inproved their teams playoff position New York is doing exactly the opposite. Before the trade the Nuggets resided in the 7th playoff seed and are now in sole control of the 5th seed. The Knicks before the trade were in the 6th place playoff seed in the east and have now since dropped down to 7th place.
