Nuggets Sneak by Sacramento

Denver Nuggets get by the Sacramento Kings in a chippy, ugly and competitive contest.  The Kings led in the early going and finished with a slight lead going into  halftime.  The Nuggets came out in the third period with a full court press.  The tough defense continued with the Nuggets being physical and wearing the Kings down with their suffocating defense. 

Forth Quarter action became heated with just more than a minute to play when Danilo Gallinari slapped hard at the ball but hit DeMarcus Cousins in the throat. The hard foul led to a technical foul on Gallinari. After the technical was called, Kings center Samuel Dalembert was called for a technical when he put his hand around the back of Gallinari's neck. Kenyon Martin and Ray felton intervined as Gallinari walked away.

Another solid win for the Denver Nuggets in tough test getting them ready for the playoffs.  Oh, and the Nuggets will be tough match for anyone in the playoffs with physical play and pressure defense.
