The NBA's Northwest Division is all of a sudden heating up as the Denver Nuggets move streak to Lucky 13 and take it right to the OKC Thunder on the 2nd leg of a Back to Back out of the Motel.

Behind a balanced attack by the Nugs and a T-H Class of "Old-Man Game 400" by Nuggets Back up PG Andre "Runnin' Utes" Miller...the Nuggets strike OKC 114-104. That's right on Dre's 37th Birthday he makes key offensive play after play down the stretch and the Thunder had no answer. Say what you want getting to the "Fight for Larry" is no joke and cannot be taken for granted, The OKC thunder look real vulnerable and now that "Respect the Beard" 13 Trade is starting to rear its ugly head as we get closer an closer to Winning Time in the logo.

The Nugs play somewhat an unconventional style as they have no Dominant Inside Presence but their Transition Offense is a Huge weapon night in and night out. All those high-flyers to go with and really sound defensive team. Now you know why the Nugs wanted Iggy of then Broad Street now Iggy of Mile High in the Fold. He has repeatedly takin' on the other Teams Best Offensive Player on the Wing or Back Court and wins moist of the time.

Nugs get 20 points, nine helpers, and seven assists from "Old Man Game" Miller along with 25 points from Ty Lawson. Yes Uncle Russ had 25 points and six helpers but the Nuggets Point Guard outscored Russ and Reggie Jackson some 45  to 33. Throw in 13 points and fifteen boards from the MANimal and 13 points from Danillo...the Nugs come at you like no other. KD gets a game-high 35 points but at times down the stretch when the game looked like the OKC could have made a run they didn't put forth the Killer Effort that had this time last season and that is very alarming moving forward for OKC.

Now with the Lob City losing to SACtown and the Cow Bells...the Nugs move ahead by Record but the Clips stay ahead of them because they lead the Pacific. Nugs have to catch the Thunder to move up and they are only 3 1/2 behind OKC. The Young Gunz OKC fall back two games in the all important Loss Column.

The Plot thickens all over as we head to Winning Time in the Logo...
