Game Recap
The Nuggets were at home against the Orlando Magic and looked to win. All though the Nuggets were going to have to play with out PG Mike Bibby due to injury. Through out the first quarter it was point for point as it was all tied. In the second quarter the Nuggets made a run for it pulling away from the magic with Marcus Camby able to get inside the paint for baskets. In the 3rd quarter Dwight Howard tried to get the Magic going but could only get limited help from Hill and Nelson. The Nuggets were able to hold on in the 4th increasing the margin with AI and Camby putting on a offensive show with Camby getting 26 points and AI getting 27, while the Nuggets Carmelo Anthony was able to get another double double, for the Magic Dhow finished with 28 points and 12 boards.
Dhow gave the Magic an option as he tried all night top scoring with 28 having very little support from his team
AI was able to get it done against Orlando with 27 points including a perfect 3-3 from 3point range including this jumper
Camby was a monster inside the paint for the Nuggets scoring 26 points and having one of his best performances this year

Game Recap
The Nuggets came up against an impressive looking Suns lineup. The Nuggets were still missing Mike Bibby and this allowed JR Smith to start. The Nuggets were able to get a slim lead in the first quarter up by 2 with JR Smith starting well with Camby coming off a good game against Orlando. The Nuggets as they did against Orlando tried to pull away in the second quarter out scoring them 33-24. But the Suns came back at the Nuggets in the 3rd which set up for a big last quarter. As the Suns made there run in the last quarter AI tried to hold them off scoring 8 of his 17 points in the last quarter but the Suns kept coming as Marion was trying to get the Suns the win. With 2 seconds to go the Suns had the ball they were down by 3 poiints and needed some one to step up and it was the MVP from the past 2 years Steve Nash who delivered hitting his only 3 for the game (1-5 3point) to tie it up. As it went to over time the Nuggets and the Suns went basket for basket but JR Smith came up huge with a and 1 play to put the Nuggets up by 1 point with time winding down the Suns would look to Nash again but was guarded strong by AI as he passed it to Bell who had the jumper to win it for the Suns but JR Smith was able to get a hand up and course him to miss the winning shot as the Nuggets win in OT.
JR Smith starting the game due to Mike Bibby gave the Nuggets a great scoring option with 25 points which included 3s Dunks and jumpers.
Nash had this 3point jumper to send the game into OT with 2.0 seconds left it was his first 3 and only 3 for the game going 1-5 behind the arc
Bell had this shot to win the ball game for the Suns in OT but hard defence from JR Smith caused the shot to miss giving the win to the Nuggets
