Nuggets Defeat Nets 124-105 in Denver

The Brooklyn Nets, plagued by injuries, suffered a 124-105 defeat against the Denver Nuggets, marking their fourth consecutive loss. Despite a promising start, the Nets struggled to contain Denver's Nikola Jokic, who returned from illness to post a triple-double with 35 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds. The Nets played without key scorers Cam Thomas, Cam Johnson, and D'Angelo Russell, significantly impacting their performance. Ben Simmons returned to the lineup, contributing 10 points and six assists, but it was not enough to overcome the Nuggets' strong performance. The Nets' shooting faltered in the second quarter, allowing Denver to take control of the game. The team now continues their challenging six-game Western road trip with their next game in Utah.
