No Signs of Stopping

High Five and Happy Birthday!

The Denver Nuggets extended their winning streak to 13 games by beating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 114-104. Six players scored in double figures, including Andre Miller, who had 20. He also had 9 assists and 7 rebounds, and oh-did-we-mention he did it on his 37th birthday! In the previous game, a 119-118 win at Chicago, he had 13 assists. The venerable vet shows no signs of stopping!

Andrew Bogut is just getting going for Golden State. On Sunday he had 12 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks in a 108-78 trouncing of Houston; he followed that up with 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks in a 93-72 blow out of New Orleans. The most encouraging numbers were his minutes: 33 and 30 on back-to-back nights. He's getting back in the thick of it, and in the nick of time.

Denver and Golden State are 5th and 6th respectively in the Western Conference with 13 games remaining in the regular season.
