Denver Nuggets Put on a Show in Win Over Utah Jazz

The Denver Nuggets are one of the most entertaining young teams in the NBA. Unlike another very entertaining team, they can do it with more than just a few hundred well-placed dunks (love your work Lob City). They proved that Wednesday night in a 113-96 win over the Utah Jazz.

Like on this play in the fourth quarter when Danilo Gallinari throws up an apparent prayer that finds its way to the basket:



Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with throwing down with some acrobatic dunks. Next to Lob City I don;t think anyone does it better than the Nuggets (and the Miami Heat).

Take Kenneth Faried and this alley-oop from half court:



Or this play by Andre Iguodala:



It's almost a shame that the Nuggets and Clippers are No. 3 and No. 4 in the West. Can you imagine the show these guys would put on if they were playing each other in a best of seven series? Would anyone even bother trying anything, but a dunk?
