Keyonte refusing to run back on transition D is something truly spectacular. I've ever seen something like that from star players actively trying to force themselves out of teams. Worth something like 10 points to every opponent, again in this match. The Christian Braun basket 3½ mins into the 3rd a true work of art from Key.

Great effort tonight. We play well and lose. Hardy seems to have found the recipe to tank in a smart way. Trade one or two guys and we may be bottom 3 safe.
It seems like kessler cant grab a rebound hes there despite being taller, longer and more mobile.
Jazz was worse team with Keyonte playing tonight compared to those games he sat out.
Keyonte was pretty good last night, especially after coming back from injury. His shot wasn't quite there, but he limited too many bad shots. He had 6 assists and the best +/- of any of our starting lineup. Also, the Jazz played very well in general and were close against a very good team.
I didn't realize this while watching the game, but Westbrook just had the 3rd "perfect" tripple double in NBA history, meaning he didn't have any turnorvers and shot 100% from the field:

Westbrook authors 'perfect' triple-double in win
Russell Westbrook, who posted 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, became the third player in NBA history to have a triple-double with zero turnovers and shoot 100% from the field and the line in the Denver Nuggets' 132-121 victory over the Utah Jazz.
It's ****ing Jokic.....
The dude is going to finish his career as a top 5 player of all time and he is currently in his peak. No one on the roster even has a prayer at guarding him and he got no help weak side rebounding in the cases Jokic did miss. Shut the hell up. File this one under stupid complaints
Westbrook has been surprisingly good with Jokic. Another notch under his GOAT belt for reviving a late career WestbrookI didn't realize this while watching the game, but Westbrook just had the 3rd "perfect" tripple double in NBA history, meaning he didn't have any turnorvers and shot 100% from the field:

One thing to follow on the becoming g 2025 is, how well will Keynote and Lauri work together. Nuggets defended Lauri very well, but it's to be noted still how Lauri's fga dropped back to 13, when it had been more last few games. That said, in Keyontes last game together it still was 21 fga for Lauri, so it might be other things. And also that said, I feel the chemistry with the other backcourt pairings last few games was better than it is with Sexton-Keynote backcourt.
Also think Westbrook is arguably the GOAT longevity athlete. For having ACL surgery at one point in his career the level of athleticism he has maintained as a guard is insane and unprecedented
