Denver Nuggets: 3 notable performances behind winning streak

After a brutal 1-6 stretch, the Denver Nuggets have won their past three games. Here are the individual performances that spearheaded this revival.

After a difficult 1-6 stretch, the Denver Nuggets are back on their feet. Catching a renewed defensive wave, the Nuggets are winners of three consecutive games, with two of them coming on the road.

Over the past three contests, Denver put the clamps on enemy squads, allowing just 95.3 points per game. Opponents are shooting 39.8 percent from the field, and 25.2 percent from 3-point range during this streak.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone is especially proud of the team’s fighting attitude, per the Denver Post:

"“As I just told the team, we had every reason to make an excuse for tonight’s game. Three games in four nights, back-to-back, Gary [Harris] not playing. I said, ‘We don’t make excuses, we find ways.’”"

In each win, someone stepped up in a major way. It wasn’t necessarily the usual suspects either. Here are the three key individual performances driving this winning streak.
