Jazz – Nuggets 108-104: Victory after five straight losses

After five straight losses, the Utah Jazz were smiling again. They beat the Denver Nuggets (108-104) at home and stayed in the Western foursome on a night when the stars of both teams weren’t on the floor.

Donovan Mitchell (concussion) with Rudy Gomber (Calf) on one side and Nikola Jokic (Rest) on the other were absent but their teammates fought to the end for the win. Eventually it ended up in Utah, although it finished the game with 24.1% on three points (7/29).

Best scorer of the winners was Trent Forrest with 18 points, supported by Mike Conley with 17 points. On the other hand, Brin Forbes’ great performance (26 points with 10/13 shots and 2/3 shots) went to Denver.
