The lineup of Bruce Brown, Christian Braun, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jeff Green and Aaron Gordon gave the Nuggets size, speed, athleticism and a formula to score points off the bench.
Aaron Gordon of the Denver Nuggets works against Herbert Jones of the New Orleans Pelicans during the fourth quarter of the Nuggets’ 122-113 win at Ball Arena in Denver on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023.
“That lineup is really versatile defensively you can switch everything,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after his team hung on, 122-113, improving their first-place record to 35-16. On four consecutive occasions, the Nuggets scored while taking advantage of New Orleans’ compromised defense. After the two dunks, Brown stepped confidently into a 3-pointer once Alvarado gambled — and missed — on a steal attempt. Less than a minute later, the Nuggets corralled a defensive rebound, and again, Green converted on the break. For a unit that has struggled to consistently score, there was tangible evidence that it could be done as a result of their defense.
