Denver Nuggets vs. Toronto Raptors 1st-QTR Highlights | March 11 | NBA Season 2024
[Applause] coming over from the Utah Jazz just signed a new uh two-year extension they like him a lot and Toronto its first lead nuggets 44 and 20 we’re second in the west one game back of first place OKC half game back of Minnesota first three in the last three games by Nicole
Leic is Off the Mark Raptors 23 and 41 they’re 12th in the East they six games out of the play and so they’re going nowhere fast as Porter has it kind of a revamp middle of the Season made a bunch of Trades got a bunch of different guys and they’ve
Been sinking ever since but there’s hope for the future yic in the lane Dro it up and in that floater from Nico yic is just picture perfect Jamal Murray knows exactly where to get yic the ball so that he can get to it now l l in the
Lane under pressure from yic misses now the Joker swiveling over to Port order guarded by Bruce Brown back to yoke yoke averaging 26 a game 12 and 1 half rebounds nine assists so averaging a SB double oh no Gordon 14 and a half so it balloon three points when they announced
The additional players out tonight 10 confirm not an error RJ Barrett throws it down so the former nicobar coming over in the OG an anobi trade and the Nuggets lead 65 now Gordon Gordon inside and he’s just too free throw rattles in rattles out Porter goes
And gets it Michael Porter coming off a good game 19 in the Saturday win very efficient under deic and shot is block got it back miss it got it back majority of their basketball threw Nicole yic on the floor so he is just always in control four points four rebounds and
Assists for joic Raptors coming off an overtime loss at Port the but I didn’t put on there cuz they’re not going to play it’s like half their roster 107 you have to have eight you have to suit up eight to be eligible now Murray trying
To get the ball to joic and told us tonight he will not be involved with the Serbian national team this summer in Paris Ser should have a great team cavius C warell po no rebound Bruce Brown Championship member of the team a year ago BR inside and off the glass he
Goes you have to pick the ball up sooner than that in transition if you’re the Denver Nuggets defense someone’s got to stop ball find them in transition behind the back kcp is wide open give it the p w make that won’t he yeah he will mpj with a long three shooting almost
40% now from triple one what a selfless pass to from kavus cell C who had a pretty good look himself but get might going here early in this one kcp rips it from Grady dick here he comes Porter going to try it again and he hits it again
From one side of the three-point line to the other both from teammate cavius calwell Pope Michael Porter Jr down and ready to shoot 15 to9 our score and O Len mid-range 15-footer he can make those the rapt Raptors have it WS on the road this
Year just 10 of 22 as oen hits the triple Kelly oen off to a very good start and oin already taken five shots in this game he averages just eight field goal attempts per game but with all the injured Raptors I have a feeling that Olen recognizes he needs to be more
Aggressive if Toronto wants to have a chance inside y puts it up and in getting back to O 39.2% from three on the year but with Toronto just 31% trying to find his withm the Raptors bad start one for five but since they are four for four yes sir that joint lit today
Fell ah ah ah well we got a live wire tonight mik dub he’s not even in the game yet I love that he set the precedent early by telling Joff uhuh get locked in I’m with altitude tonight Barrett is inside and Murray blocked his
Shot and a nice tip in by Grady dick who is quietly having a pretty good rookie season active scores shoots the three pretty good Defender 1918 nuggets on top here in the first quarter lookas trying to find a little inspiration baji is in into Gordon Gordon put it up an in Aaron
Gordon a little too muscly for the Raptors so far I want to point out there too Aaron Gordon held that contact with his Defender the entire time the ball was in Flight in the air not giving them an opportunity to get that steal ball is deflected it flies to kav’s callwell
Pope and now joic has it yic backing his way in [Applause] P Aaron Gordon shoot a three and Brady dick runs it around 13th overall pick averaging 172 minutes per game and he misses the three yit the rebound y 12 and a half rebounds the game give it to
Gordon Gordon coming off a interesting game 7.7 assists in the win oh and throwing it Richie fighting a shooting slump trying break out and Coach Malone talked about this rotation after the Nuggets last game against the Jazz he gets Reggie Jackson a little bit earlier because Jamal Murray is going to come in
And run with that second unit Freeman Liberty cast off and yic has it we should tell you jonte Porter in the game first time he has played against his brother Michael Porter Jr yic pass no good oh look at Gordon he wrestled it away and put it
In 2319 Go full beast mode so far here tonight tonight being aggressive getting to the rim 10 points for Gordon here in the first quarter long range jont Porter and they say he’s a very very good shooter well it’s not surprising runs in the family you have to know that the
Porters can knock it down from Deep jont Porter played one season at Missour his 20 games a two-way player now Jackson for three and Porter the rebound opportunity said Katie Wii after we listened to the head coach yic with a deflection Reggie got it get a jam one for us
Yeah yeah you talked about it Chris Nicole yic has some of the best hands in the NBA and that can be seen on both offense and defense one of the best deflectors out there first bucket scored by the Denver bench remember the Denver bench on Saturday put up 40 and has
Outscored opposition in the last two games Barrett trying to get around yic does that one rattles out and they get the the bucket anyway like maybe let’s see who they give it to give it to aaji quter in the lane he throats one I I saw a graphic somewhere about Michael
Porter Jr that he’s one of the leading mid-range shooters in the NBA percentage like 58% Barrett round he goes you like Barrett as a player he’s got some skills without a doubt I mean remember him in New York too with the Knicks and so many people just like the way he competes the
Way plays with Toronto is doing the same thing 21 points per game y 23 or more in five of the last six now dump it into jic B it away bad pass now Grady dick going to shoot a three and nail it so careless play by
The Chris with Katy Wy Scott Hastings on board now Richie to Gordon the Nuggets playing a little bit sluggishly would you agree with that Scott uh absolutely Chris two time mats in a row they were talking about getting the energy up especially in transition the last one it
It was little more heat guys getting into other guys DeAndre going boys we got to respect these guys not the same energy we’ve seen over the last couple nights oh McDaniels inside and he puts it up and in and think about the way that Denver Nuggets started against the
Utah Jazz 34 Point halftime lead so they came out of the gate and knew look we we want to set the tone early in this one that has not been the case so far in this game against the Raptors and McDaniels away again he slipped out Jamal Murray kcp scoreless so [Applause]
Far Reggie Jackson and it’s knocked out of bounds last Touch by the Nuggets Jackson’s getting some really good looks at at the basket he just needs one maybe two of them to fall to find his rhythm a little bit he’s so close just a little bit off
Dustin holiday set to come in he’s in the rotation now according to Mike Malone going to see more playing time now Bruce Brown guarded by Christian Brown Bruce B three and he Nails it so the Raptors are up 34- 27 seven-point Advantage three-point shooting a big defense now Watson knocks it in he
Hasn’t been shooting well from three-point range recently but his two-point range very good Watson’s been showing off what he’s capable of offensively too we’ve seen little glimpses of his game on that side of the floor really expanding getting a little bit more in his bag getting a little bit more
Comfortable that shot by Watson ended a 10 nothing scoring run Dante Porter it’s no good and Watson the rebound Murray Jackson Brown Watson nii in there now Christian Brown who made all three threes last game oh and nii misses a bunny raptors have it really good offense from
The second unit right there for Denver you can’t ask for a better look than that pass it out Grady dick short Christian Brown goes and gets it Christian has made 10 of his last 11 shots in the last three games and a fire of three got it take that Hast three
Games he’s going to have to explain because I don’t understand that 34 32 Hastings thinks I have magical power so I can Jinx players oh no we talked about that last time okay so that was in relation to Christian Browns yeah 10 of 11 now he’s 11 of 12 okay I’m there I
Caught up I’m here folks get get with the p I’m at the party now I’ve arrived Jamal Murray’s got it looking for his first hoop hasn’t taken a shot 37 in the win now Watson Cross Court Reggie five on the clock whole family has learned how to do from a very
Young age and it’s because his dad constantly stays ready his dad works out all the time when he comes to with them in Denver he’s always working out he’s always staying ready 5 Seconds Barrett trying to get to the hoop backing in here he comes and nii blocks it
