Joker returns, hits game-winning shot, Nuggets survive vs Pelicans
About this episode
Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets 99-98 win over the New Orleans Pelicans as Nikola Jokić makes his return from a left hamstring strain in triumphant fashion. Jokić put together a 25-point triple-double and hit the game-winning floater with 16 seconds to go. There were a lot of things that went wrong, and Denver's shooting went dry in the second half, but the Nuggets survived. Ryan discusses the starters, a new bench lineup without Bones Hyland, and what the Nuggets can do with their $9.1 million trade exception at the trade deadline.
