[Applause] Joe must go on not one Hornet starting today’s game started opening night well interesting to note wow times they have it changed so the Hornets had the basketball this is now game four on the six game Road Trip first of a back to back Hornets will play in Sacramento

Tomorrow and the Hornets start with a turnover you see right away they’re going to back to you College environment here in Denver the fans stand until the basket is made by the home [Applause] team Murray gets a screen from jic and now the fans can sit [Applause] Down Steve Clifford was talking about getting the ball inside paint touches PS are great at that beginning of the Season there’s a paint touch so it starts in and it results in a bucket Nick Richards shot it back against the grain right into the defens of yage but off

The glass spins around and falls through it has been a wable road trick for Nick Richard just in terms of the talent that He has faced Anthony Davis youf nurkic kite dealing with e yic Jamal Murray misses from three ft coralled by Nick Richards Ain Fair

Murray trying to post up his buddy is come on man Brandon Miller McGaw hard charging Bryce mwan that should have fallen man that’s a good move we need Bryce to stay just that aggressive the entire Game’s been all the offense so far for the Denver Nuggets he has Tak at all three of their Shots is doing something tonight that he never did in Denver a year ago it’s a start a game oh yeah this is this’s second start of the Season actually got a whole bunch of playing time last year is did in Denver but never started wasn’t needed to start

Murray decides to let the other four guys touch the ball long two-pointer Michael Porter Jr one of the best shooting 610 players in the history of the NBA yeah no doubt about it I mean his skill set and what he does to this team I think is not well written

About nuggets got what they they deserve they took him knowing he was going to miss an entire year as a rookie didn’t play his first season in the NBA and has blossomed into just one of the better offensive weapons in the Western Conference corter run off the line by Brandon Miller

Ball stops at Murray Gordon with the left hand that’s just a tough pass good catch and a better Finish brand Miller really shoots a good ball early in games yeah I like that little little hand off there the defense went under that screen he’s got to shoot that good to see one go through early I don’t know what his pregame routine is but he generally seems to shoot really

Well in every first [Applause] quarter Caldwell pop bounce pass to joic Porter blocked away Nick Richards hornets have numbers if they hurry quarter late to get back under the defensive end someone’s got to be open who is It it’s Nick Richards with the size advantage open and the horns took their time found the guy and Nick flips it in with the right hand refreshing score to begin our ball game ah refreshing score in the building it used to be called the Pepsi Center turn around Jamal [Applause]

Murray nuggets have played their home games in this building since 1999 which means D you played building yeah sure did Miller look at how high he th in the air offensive rebound Richards had it blocked by [Applause] Gordon Jamal Murr at transition three man I tell you what he is so good at stopping and lining up the scams of the ball tells me he’s such a good shooter whenever you can line those scenes up it just makes the ball feel better comes out of your hands better

Release and Miller dragged the pivot foot NOS his roll and he’s good at it we played almost five minutes haven’t had one personal [Applause] Foul here’s ish that’s the patented ish Smith shot no doubt about it couple of dribbles to the lean and the gravity Fade Away over the top of Murray gives him a little Medicine of his own everybody’s friend this Smith Caldwell pop Murray spins around ish and capitalizes that’s a three for Jamal

Murray feet set seems lined up good look nobody running at him too good of a shooter to allow that to happen he’s three of three from behind the arc he’s got 11 of the 15 for Denver but ish answers with the two of his own is is still a competitive spirited guy he

Knows Murray’s hot says okay I’m going to play my game and give you two right back Michael Porter Jr ish has the last two field goals for the Hornets joic has not attempted a shot we played half of a first quarter he’s been open a lot at the top one time he was wide open and Porter dribbled right past him come on long one from Porter leads to a long run out Bridges he’s been [Applause]

Quiet and there’s our first whistle stopping play and it come shot 62% as a team all right hornets have gone to the bench PJ Washington into the ball game along with Cody mark nugget stay as is shot clocked out at two and a whistle the Hornets get bail

Have zero fouls and Nick Richards already has four rebounds so they’re really trying to focus in on those little details while they’re so short-handed Michael Porter Jr inside pass ORS have made another change Nick Smith Jr has come in for the first time Michael Porter [Applause] Jor Rand and Miller

Maneuvers past the big honey and it won’t fall off the window and a loose ball picked up by the Hornets Cody Martin extra possession for the [Applause] Hornets almost eight minutes into the game and Denver has not gone to the bench yet clearly they acclimated to the altitude blocked Cody Martin took it from Gordon Murray’s already taken seven shots and he caught his own shot he’s now attempted eight shots in eight minutes what’s wrong that tell right now

Ping at the Brandon Miller can’t leave him open he’s been hitting that shot [Applause] lately yo touch pass oh my Watson catches in that’ll be the prettiest assist of the night telling you what you don’t teach that that’s B it wow the touch pass and he put enough on it so

That Nick couldn’t get back out there to get a hand up Brandon Miller that be a chance for a three-point play he came from the Clippers in the trade that said Mason plumbley out west Hornet didn’t keep Reggie Jackson around he signed with Denver but yeah technically Reggie

Jackson at one point was property of the Hornet all right Christian Brown also into the game number zero second-year player from Kansas here’s Jackson hor it’s chance to tie with a Three I like I like Brandon is definitely looking for his shots right there back door cut last Touch by Jackson that the Hornet had to shoot but joic and Pope have not taken a shot huh and yic not going to shoot for a while he’s out

Of the game for the first time yeah ne’s pop PJ Washington you can call him 3j ties the game at 18 good execution right there PJ steps into a rhythm three Julian strawford has checked into the game he wears number three for Denver offensive rebound nii [Applause]

Watson for those of you wondering the only 18 in Hornets history miles Lumin not Mason miles his brother Nick Smith Jr misses his first shot atemp no Center on the floor for either team right now Jackson sets up [Applause] nii BR and [Applause] Miller has played this entire first Quarter Bridges and it knocked away it’s been a frustrating first quarter for miles Denver last plate on Friday they actually got smoked by Oklahom City Christian Brown strong enough to convert with the foul
