*THE DENVER NUGGETS, POST-CARMELO ANTHONY*

Thursday, 2/24/2K11

The Denver Nuggets defeated the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics 89-75, ending the last 6:05 of the game on a 16-0 run to seal the victory. Kenyon Martin scored 18 points & grabbed 10 boards despite playing with flu-like symptoms. Newest Nugget Wilson Chandler scored 16 points in his debut. The other former NY Knicks Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari & Timofey Mozgov also made their Denver debuts as well. With the loss of an offensive super-talent like Carmelo Anthony, the new look Nuggets will now be transformed into a more defensive-oriented team. There's a ton of talent now in place at every position & without Carmelo Anthony, I think Coach George Karl will do a nice job getting these players to play extra hard & solidify their playoff standing in the Western Conference.
