Nuggets 115 - Lakers 111
What I loved about this game?
1. Eddie. Also, his hair. I can't find a picture of it, but he was rocking the faux hawk tonight and I can't take him seriously when his hair is that out of control.
2. Melo trying to chew gum and shoot free throws at the same time. Where did he get the gum? I'M LOOKING AT YOU EDDIE.
Scotty interviewed Melo before the game, and that was amazing. Melo was wearing his favorite red leather jacket, and when Scotty asked him about his improved offensive rebounding, Melo said, "I have a nice, big body and I know how to use it."
HA.
The only thing I can say about AI's interviews is that they are MARGINALLY better than Shawn Marion's.
Anyway, the Nugs are on a 6 game winning streak, and in the last week and a half they've beaten the Lakers TWICE + the Mavs and the Clippers.
Steve Kerr says they're the team to beat.
Also, the Avs didn't make the playoffs for the first time since they came to Denver. That makes me a little bit sad, just on principle.
