An NBA season is very long, and some games tend to get lost in the mists of time, but Denver Nuggets fans will hold in their minds what happened in the match against Sacramento Kings this morning. Winning in California is not easy, and doing it the way the Colorado team did could be a turning point.

It's been a truly erratic season for the Denver Nuggets, who are suffering from an evident lack of players in the second unit, but they rely on the mastery of a Nikola Jokic capable of inspiring all his teammates. The group is committed, and having defeated Sacramento Kings away with an epic final minute and a half could change the dynamics of the team that were champions two seasons ago. The best news was the outstanding performance of Jamal Murray, with 28 points and a game-winning basket. Performances like this boost his confidence and make the team believe in the process.

The Canadian guard needs to return to being that game-changing player as the second sword. Also noteworthy is the performance of Russell Westbrook (18/9/10) and Aaron Gordon, with 24 points and 7 rebounds. One who never fails is Nikola Jokic, who once again recorded a triple-double to make the entire Denver Nuggets conglomerate believe that with him, there is time to fight for the ring this season.
