The Denver Nuggets may have needed a wake-up call against the Utah Jazz, but they just played their greatest game in a long time.

Ryan Blackburn responds to the Denver Nuggets’ win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night in the newest episode of the Pickaxe and Roll Podcast, as Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. all provide outstanding performances to get the job done. It’s been a long since all three players performed admirably at the same moment, yet they managed to do so.

Ryan discusses the Jokic, Murray, and Porter three and how they can continue to shine individually while reaching their peak together and winning along the way.

Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson both made significant contributions in limiting Zion Williamson’s efficiency in the middle of the game. Ryan examines Denver’s resilience in the face of adversity and the Western Conference’s overall strength.
