Many fans started to get worried when the Denver Nuggets lost three of five games, but they have bounced back to win their last three straight. On Sunday night, just one game after overcoming a 23-point deficit, the Nuggets went toe-to-toe with the Charlotte Hornets, pulling out their scrappiest win of the season.
After the win, Nuggets head coach David Adelman explained why it was the most “enjoyable” win in a while for him, praising his team’s resiliency and improved defense.
“The most enjoyable win in a while, because it was a little bit grimy, and we have been scoring the ball so easy. We did early, and I think the way they played — they made some tough shots and were playing super hard defensively — they made the game a grind. It was good for us to win a game like that. The opponent doesn’t matter when you’re just thinking about yourselves and trying to get through the season,” Adelman said.
