Getting your player ready...
Chris Andersen in the first half:
From a highlight reel tip-dunk to a blocked shot to a behind-the-back pass to Anthony Carter, the Birdman made his presence felt early and often Saturday.
Value of free throws:
Shots weren’t falling from the field, but they were from the free-throw line. The Nuggets shot 40 free throws and made 32.
Ball control:
The Nuggets committed just seven turnovers, including only two in the fourth quarter.
