The Denver Nuggets have maintained their strong play, despite recent losses that have negatively impacted the team's playoff race. Despite a 2-2 record, Nikola Jokic and David Adelman maintain that the team has been playing well recently. They cited a six-game stretch where they played well against playoff teams, including the Spurs, Lakers, and Rockets.
