Denver - 75, Dallas - 71

Nancy and I stayed up last night and watched the basketball game. This was certainly one of the best wins for the Nuggets this year. Even though I was frustrated with extremely poor officiating, and "push and mug" basketball by the Mavs, it was great to watch.

Nuggets upset Mavericks in possible playoff preview
The Denver Nuggets won with defense, of all things. Carmelo Anthony capped Denver's best defensive effort of the season by stealing Dirk Nowitzki's skip pass in the closing seconds, then sinking two free throws with 9 seconds left to seal the Nuggets' 75-71 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. Anthony left his man, Erick Dampier, and stepped in front of Jerry Stackhouse, then towed the line to stay inbounds. "I was looking at Dirk, I thought he was going to shoot the ball," Anthony said.
