  • Nikola Jokic amasses triple-double, Nuggets come back in last minute to escape Charlotte


    CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Salvaging this road trip was not easy for the Nuggets, but they got the job done at the last minute on two consecutive nights.

    Trailing the Hornets by four with 52 seconds remaining, Denver ended the game on a 7-0 run to escape with a 107-104 victory Saturday and return home on a two-game winning streak. Nikola Jokic went for 28 points, 13 rebounds and 17 assists, scoring five points in the last 45 seconds after amassing eight in the final minute Friday night at Philadelphia.

    “That team never quit. They kept on coming at us,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “Just proud of our group for not panicking.”

    Christian Braun added 24 points and 11 assists on a night when the Nuggets (30-19) couldn’t buy a 3-pointer, finishing 7 for 37 as a team.

    Malone used a timeout with 3:20 to go after Miles Bridges attacked a Jamal Murray switch to tie the game at 98, setting up another tense road ending. Denver had scored only eight points in the fourth quarter at that point.

    With exactly two minutes left, Jokic thought he put Denver on top 102-100, but the Hornets challenged a goal-tending call, revealing that Jokic seemingly grazed the ball with his finger while it was over the cylinder first. The basket was eliminated, and Bridges scored the next four points. The Nuggets were in danger of a 1-4 road trip.

    Jokic answered with a 3-point play. Then the Nuggets were able to get the ball out of Bridges’ hands when he targeted Murray again. CU alum KJ Simpson missed an open three, and Jokic was fouled 70 feet from the basket after securing the rebound. After is free throws gave Denver a one-point edge, Bridges rushed a bad shot, leading to a run-out layup for Murray.

    The star guard disrupted Nick Smith Jr. on a game-tying 3-point attempt before time expired.

    “We were trying to avoid the (Murray on Bridges) switch, because Bridges is so big and strong, when he gets downhill, he’s a load,” Malone said. “So we were trying to keep Aaron matched up to him, and you saw late in the game as we closed on that 7-0 run, Jamal was showing so we could keep Aaron matched up to him. Obviously, sometimes when you do put two on the ball, you’re going to give something up, and you have to rely on some fly-around mentality behind that.”

    Russell Westbrook (left hamstring) and Peyton Watson (right knee) missed their first game of the season after they both limped to the bench with separate injuries Friday during the fourth quarter. Michael Malone did not express grave concern for either of them, but he wasn’t able to share specific return timelines, either.

    “I think we’ll have a much better idea when we get back to Denver and after we … let the injuries calm down a little bit and then have our docs look at them,” he said. “I think Peyton just knocked knees a little bit last night.”

    Their absences caused wrinkles to the rotation, some new and some old. Braun, two games removed from being benched to accommodate the Westbrook-Jokic two-man dynamic, was suddenly back in the starting five by default. The Nuggets were playing their opening-day starting lineup for the first time since Christmas.

    “It’s funny,” Malone said. “I made the decision going into the Knicks game to take (Braun) out of the starting lineup, and here he is a few nights later, playing 38 minutes. … I felt that he was everywhere. He was attacking. He was shooting the 3-ball with confidence. He was guarding. I think tonight was a snapshot into all the different areas CB can help you win in.”

    Without Watson, Zeke Nnaji checked in at the four next to Jokic and eventually shared the second-unit frontcourt with Aaron Gordon. It was Nnaji’s first time on the court for six or more minutes since Nov. 10, 2024, and he capitalized with five blocks. The 24-year-old was the most impactful defender perhaps for either team, guarding Bridges and handling switches effectively. As Charlotte was threatening in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets extended their lead to seven twice in a row with Nnaji buckets at the rim assisted by Gordon. He viciously blocked Josh Green with five minutes left to preserve a tie game.



    In a thrilling game against the Charlotte Hornets, Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to a nail-biting victory with a last-minute comeback. Jokic put on a show, recording a triple-double with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. His all-around dominance on the court was instrumental in the Nuggets’ late-game surge.

    Despite trailing for most of the game, the Nuggets never gave up and managed to claw their way back in the final minutes. Jokic’s leadership and clutch play down the stretch helped secure the win for Denver, as they escaped Charlotte with a 110-108 victory.

    This game was just another reminder of Jokic’s incredible talent and ability to take over in crucial moments. With him leading the way, the Nuggets look like a formidable force in the Western Conference this season.

  • JJ’s Country Music Minute: New Music Friday, Did Jelly Roll Hate Kane Brown?, Blake Shelton’s Biggest Mistake and More


     

     

     

     

    Friday means New Country, and today you get the new album from Kane Brown called “The High Road,” featuring his hit “Miles On It” and his latest single “Backseat Driver.” Also, mom-to-be Lauren Alaina is out with her new single today called “Those Kind of Women.”

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Another new single that I got excited about when I first heard about the collaboration is out today. Wherever you listen to music, go find “Place They Call Home” by Castellows featuring Flatland Cavalry.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    One of the tracks on Kane Brown’s new album is “Haunted,” featuring Jelly Roll. In a recent interview, Kane told the story about how he believed Jelly Roll hated him, but now they are close friends, play a lot of Call of Duty together, and randomly Facetime each other at 3 am.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    As much as Bailey Zimmerman beat himself up about his drunken performance and Crash My Playa and later apologized, some of his country peers are lifting him up and showing him grace. Morgan Wallen said, “I thought you sounded great,” Chase Rice said, “Been there” and Meghan Patrick complimented him for owning it and told him to learn from it and move on.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Blake Shelton is opening up about what he calls one of the biggest mistakes of his life. Blake says it’s the barbed wire tattoo on his left forearm. He swore when he got it in 2005 he’d never get another one; to this day, it’s the only tattoo he has.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     





    Hey y’all, it’s JJ here with your weekly dose of country music news! Today we’ve got a jam-packed episode of New Music Friday, with some juicy gossip thrown in for good measure. Let’s dive in!

    First up, did Jelly Roll hate Kane Brown? Rumors have been swirling that the two country artists had some bad blood between them, but Jelly Roll set the record straight in a recent interview. He explained that there was some miscommunication between them, but that they’re all good now. Phew, crisis averted!

    Next, let’s talk about Blake Shelton’s biggest mistake. The country superstar recently admitted that his biggest regret was not recording a duet with his fiancée, Gwen Stefani, sooner. Fans have been clamoring for a collaboration between the two for years, so here’s hoping they hit the studio soon!

    And finally, let’s highlight some of the hottest new releases in country music this week. From Luke Combs’ latest single to Miranda Lambert’s upcoming album, there’s no shortage of great music to check out. So grab your cowboy hat and boots, and get ready to two-step the night away!

  • Dorian Finney-Smith Admits Minute Restriction With Lakers Is ‘Tough’ But Ankle Is ‘Getting Better’


    Dorian Finney-Smith had his best overall game as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. The forward finished with 16 points, knocking down four 3-pointers in the Lakers’ victory over the Washington Wizards while still providing his normal solid defense.

    Finney-Smith did so in just 22 minutes as he has been on a minute restriction while dealing with an ongoing ankle injury. And even though he isn’t the biggest fan of limited minutes, he is still having fun playing with his Lakers teammates.

    “A lot going on, it’s been a crazy two weeks. But I get to play the game I love,” Finney-Smith said after the win. “The minute restriction has been tough sometimes when you’re trying to find your groove with the team. Today I probably played for the longest stretch in the first half and I felt like my lungs were gonna collapse. But it’s been fun, it’s been fun playing with these guys and just trying to collect some wins and keep it going.”

    It is great to hear Finney-Smith enjoying his time with the Lakers and playing with his teammates, but he is also a competitor who wants to be on the court as much as possible. In fact he would thank the Lakers staff for preventing himself from making his injury worse as he felt he did earlier this season.

    “Just fighting through injuries. Me being me and not wanting to sit,” Finney-Smith responded when asked about the injury that caused this minute restriction. “Probably made it worse earlier in the year. I got a shot before a game and I played the next game so sometimes I hurt myself. Shoutout to the staff and the trainers in there, they’re helping me save myself from making it worse. I’ve been begging to play more minutes but it is what it is.”

    Most important now is that the injury is improving and Finney-Smith is getting closer to be 100%. “It’s good. It’s been getting better,” he noted. “That’s all I got. I can play defense.”

    Playing defense and knocking down 3-pointers is why the Lakers acquired Finney-Smith so if he is doing that at a high level, the Lakers will be better for it and everyone in the organization will be happy.

    LeBron James, Anthony Davis pushing for Lakers to make trades

    Acquiring Dorian Finney-Smith was an important move for the Lakers, but there are still a couple of weeks until the trade deadline and LeBron James and Anthony Davis are reportedly hoping for another big move to bring this team closer to contender status.

    A recent report stated that LeBron and Davis are concerned about the Lakers’ ability to make a move before the deadline and that the duo feel this team are only a piece or two away from championship contention. The report added that the Lakers are willing to part with their valuable first-round picks, but only for players who will help this team for years to come, not just a short-term move.
