Phoenix Suns defeated Denver Nuggets in their highest-scoring game in the NBA this season on November 28, 2010. J.R. Smith scored a season-high 30 points and the Nuggets overcame the absence of Anthony to hold off the Suns 138-133 Sunday night. “It was a unique game,” Nuggets coach George Karl said. “I think everybody enjoyed the game except the coach who coaches defense.” Anthony was feeling ill Friday against Chicago but still played, even hitting the winner in the final seconds. On Sunday, he lasted just 2:48 before sitting for good. Karl said he talked to Anthony before the game and his star player convinced the coach to give him the start. “He wanted to try it,” Karl said. “Melo knows how important he is, but he probably made the right decision. He didn’t look very good. He didn’t look like a healthy guy.” His teammates picked him up. Chauncey Billups returned to the lineup after missing three games with a sprained right wrist and had 25 points and eight assists for the Nuggets. Without Anthony, the Nuggets topped their previous high this season by 18 points and had their highest point total since scoring 147 in double overtime at Seattle on April 6, 2008. Jason Richardson did his best to keep Phoenix in it with 39 points, and Steve Nash had 17 points and 11 assists. Nash missed a 3-point attempt with 17.8 seconds left that would have tied the game for Phoenix, which trailed by 19 before narrowing the gap. The Nuggets were ahead 115-99 when the Suns scored nine straight to get back in it. Smith and Arron Afflalo hit 3-pointers to keep the lead at nine, but Richardson hit two from long range to cut it to five with 2:08 left. After Smith missed on a 3, Nash drained one to make it 128-125 with 1:35 left. Billups answered with a layup and Smith hit two free throws, but Richardson connected on his seventh 3 of the night to cut it to four. Smith missed two free throws with 28.9 seconds left and Nash’s three-point play with 22.5 seconds left made it 132-131. Billups hit two free throws and after Nash missed a wide-open 3-point shot that would have tied it, the Nuggets closed it out from the line. “When it was all said and done, we just had to make free throws,” Smith said. “I missed two big ones. Fortunately we had Chauncey and Arron to come in and finish it off for us.” The Nuggets weren’t happy with their defense in the final frame. The season’s previous highest-scoring game was Golden State’s 132-128 win in regulation over Houston on Oct. 27th. … Anthony’s streak of scoring in double digits ended at 134. The last time he failed to score at least 10 was against Houston on Nov. 30, 2008, when he had just two points. … Hakim Warrick replaced Hedo Turkoglu in the Suns’ lineup. Turkoglu, who started the first 16 games, finished with 13 points. … The Nuggets’ last win over Phoenix was Dec. 12, 2009.
Golden State Warriors was defeated by San Antonio Spurs on November 30, 2010. Tim Duncan had 15 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists, Manu Ginobili added 27 points and the Spurs kept rolling along with the NBA’s best record following a 118-98 win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. “He’s been the heart and soul of our program for a long time,” Popovich said of Duncan. “He’s Tim Duncan, that’s what he does. He’s where it all begins. After all this time, we probably take him for granted.” Duncan, who recently moved past David Robinson to become the Spurs’ career scoring leader, shot just 6 of 15 from the field but helped San Antonio’s offense keep rolling by dishing the ball to his teammates. Duncan also matched his season-high for rebounds. It’s Duncan’s first triple double since May 29, 2008 when he had 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals. The Spurs lost that game, which denied them a shot to defend their NBA title that year. Golden State F Ekpe Udoh, who has not played this season because of a wrist injury, was cleared for contact and worked out one-on-out with assistant coach Calbert Cheaney before the game. … The Warriors last win against the Spurs came on Jan. 7, 2008.
