Just when Denver sports fans and pundits alike were writing the obituary for the Denver Nuggets' 2011-12 season, the Nuggets march into Chicago (on the second of a back-to-back, no less) and taken down the home-dominant, Derrick Rose-less Bulls in blowout fashion. Which begs the question: who are these guys?
Ty Lawson scored 27 and Arron Afflalo added 22 as Denver raced past the Rose-less Bulls in Chicago.
The Bulls put out a rare home stinker against the Denver Nuggets.
I'm not going to BEGIN to explain this. After two infuriating losses to teams that the normally should beat, the Nuggets turn in their best performance since the San Antonio game and beat the Chicago Bulls 108-91 We will draw lots for the zaniest explanation.
