Turn it up, Kale.

Turn it up. Let's get a funky night. Fire it up. It was the Wizards. That was fun. Do you hear that? I don't care. That was fun. Do you hear that? I hope I can imagine what I can imagine. What ease? Everybody, welcome to the winners. Let's go. Let's go. Presented by Bet365. Deb, how are we doing our bets tonight? I don't even want to talk about it. But they're going to call. They're going to call us. They're going to call us. They're going to play. Some are saying it's a full sweep. A full sweet, man. I love when we hit our bets and get a win. And a career high. Absolutely, man. So many things, man. I feel like these last couple of games have dragged on. Not a lot to talk about same talking points. All new, fresh talking points just dropped, boys. Nice. Brennan votes in the house. What's up, fellas? Looks like rebounds are back on the menu, huh? Well, tonight they were for sure. Harrison Wind is with us. It's so nice to win a rebounding battle. I assume the Nuggets won the rebounding battle. They did. It's so nice, man. I forgot what this felt like. I know. This is a very bad rebounding team. They narrowly edged out. But it doesn't matter. It's a win. It's not a 20 point disparage, disparate discrepancy. There I got it.

1:15.6

Uh, routing out the show, the superstar, Superstar Dev. Some people are wondering why there was, uh, funky music in the winners lounge. Right.

1:23.6

It's another dub without Yokic and we get closer. Yeah, we're contractually obligated to play it every time the Nuggets win without Yokin. Sneaky big one for the Nuggets, man, picking this one up. They moved to 30 and 15 right on pace for the 4020, right on pace, man. Oh wow, we are. We're going to go right up against it, man, all the way to the edge. You guys want a fast breakdown? Relo of the highlights here. Big Val, back in the lineup, and boy did he announce his presence early. He was everywhere, eight points, four boards before there was a first whistle. Remember the beginning of this game? No out of bounces, no whistles or anything? Yonis was gasping. He was gasping, but man, he was dominant. 8.4 boards. Pwatt, by the way, stuffing the stat sheet early. First two notes told the story of the game. Wizards hit a bunch of threes, though, to end the quarter that made this game kind of close. 27, 23 nuggets. And it was uncomfortable because it kind of felt like the nuggetsuggets dominated, but just didn't make enough shots.

2:18.0

And in that second quarter, man, there was a lid on the rim for the Nuggets. If you're going back to rewatch this game, skip the first six minutes of the second quarter. Just fast forward. Nothing happened for the Nuggets. But Pwatt then hit three threes. Nuggets finally opened up a little lead, but then they went cold again. that second quarter was ugly, man.

2:34.6

What did they score in the second quarter?

2:35.8

Was it more than I'm thinking?

2:36.7

No, they scored 21 points.

2:37.8

It was ugly, man.

2:34.6

What are they scoring the second quarter? Was it more than I'm thinking? No, they scored 21 points. It was ugly. They could not make a shot. Not as ugly as it has been in the last couple quarters that this team has played. It's actually true. 48, 46 nuggets at the break. Third quarter, Peewat was playing incredible. He started to feel it. In fact, I actually kind of wish he was more

2:52.0

aggressive at one point because I felt like he was scoring every single time. Big Val also picking

2:56.3

up some second chance points. Peewat and Kishan George had a little rivalry going. Peeward was

3:02.0

getting it done on both ends of the floor. Might be his best two-way game of his entire career

3:06.7

tonight. Lead was back up to 12. The Nuggets kept doing this where they get the lead up to 12, but immediately blew it. Then Piae appeared to roll an ankle. That may be a storyline that pops up tomorrow. Jamal Murray though, with about, once he went out and with, I don't know, two, three minutes left in the third quarter, left in the third quarter, Murray who had had a very quiet and I would even say passive night like he sensed the moment.

3:30.0

All right, P. Watt's carrying us but now he's out. I got to take over. and Jamal Murray really got himself going. Nuggets had a nice lead again.

3:37.0

It looked like this game was about to be put away and at the end of the game they gave up a

3:40.7

5-0 run in like 30 seconds that cut cut the game to 8175. The Nuggets had it in the most comfortable spot. Kind of blew it. Big Val comes out, picks up two quick fouls. He had five fouls, so he had to check out of the game. Bruce Brown, who could not make buckets, could not even finish layups, anything else made every other play.

3:59.3

Just a ton of hustle plays on the defensive end, extra rebounds.

4:03.1

Just these plays that swung the game, they were really big for him.

4:06.1

Then Jalen Pickett started getting some dimes.

4:08.5

Peewat was finishing.

4:09.9

Murray was making hustle plays.
