While the Denver Nuggets haven’t been perfect during this 10-game win streak, their record is. Denver’s found a way to come back and win in several games down the stretch, especially by amping up the defense in the fourth quarter. Their defense in the first three quarters still needs some work, but Denver’s formula is working later in games to great effect.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets blowout win over the injured Memphis Grizzlies for their 10th win in a row, the most for the Nuggets in the Nikola Jokic era. He discusses the game, Jokic’s triple-double, improved defense, and a nod to head coach David Adelman.
