The NBA’s next best team also flexed their offensive muscle as the Denver Nuggets routed a shorthanded Phoenix Suns team at home.

The Nuggets led by 16 at the half as they put up 70 points in the opening 24 minutes. Things barely let up in the second half and the 126-97 final saw them comfortably cover the 14.5-point spread and assume complete control of their NBA Conference standings.
Despite their huge offensive output that saw them clear their individual Team Total the full game total stayed Under the 226.5 points as the Suns were held to just 43 points in the second half.
Bucks, Kings Build Momentum
The Milwaukee Bucks made it back-to-back wins as they secured a routine road win against the Atlanta Hawks.

Atlanta rallied back in the second half however, with the team taking a 103-101 lead with 3:12 to play in the final quarter. The Bucks managed to close the game on a 13-2 run to come away with a 114-105 win that saw them cover the spread fairly comfortably.

Knicks, Grizz Defend Home Court
The New York Knicks held on to defeat the Indiana Pacers 119-113 at Madison Square Garden as the road team scrapped hard in the absence of key players.
