Owner Real Deal Posted November 26, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21137105.jpg DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets went into halftime knowing they had an opportunity to put the New Orleans Hornets away with a quick start to the third quarter. A dominant effort did the trick. Iguodala scored 23 points, Kenneth Faried had his eighth double-double of the season and the Nuggets beat the struggling Hornets 102-84 on Sunday night. "That's a point we wanted to ... make sure they didn't have a chance to make a late-game run," Denver guard Ty Lawson said of his team's third-quarter strategy. Denver made 11 of 18 shots and outscored New Orleans 32-20 in the third quarter -- using a simple principle. "Pay attention to detail," Lawson said. "We came in here at halftime and the coaches gave us adjustments we needed to make." It was the second successive game the Nuggets used a third-quarter surge. They had outscored Golden State 31-17 on Friday to put away the Warriors. "During the first half Sunday, we were pretty good except for about a four-minute stretch where we had a nine-, 10-point lead and gave it right back," Denver coach George Karl said. "After that we built it back up [in the third quarter] where I felt the flow of the game was more like we like it and where we got a lot of guys involved." Iguodala was coming off a 29-point effort against Golden State. Faried had 14 points and 12 rebounds for Denver, winners of four straight.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121125_NO@DEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
