The end of the game was probably the most exciting part of this one, with Linas Kleiza and Al Harrington getting into an argument that lead pushing, shoving and double technicals.
The Raps came up short in this one, falling 96-81 to the Denver Nuggets in the final game of their western road trip.
Once again, a slow start buried the Raps. They cut the Denver lead to 6 in the fourth quarter, but ultimately just didn’t have enough firepower without Andrea Bargnani, and Denver’s top ranked offense too much for the Raps to handle.
Andrea Bargnani is out indefinitely. However, his MRI revealed no structural damage, but there is no timetable for his recovery.
Let’s get to the report card:
Offense- C+
Positives
Jerryd Bayless came alive tonight, scoring 18 points. Leandro Barbosa also played well, scoring 19. These two lead the Raps second half comeback bid, but didn’t have much help.
James Johnson was also solid with 16 points. He’s been on an offensive surge...
