After going into halftime down 62 - 43, the Jazz came out firing in the third quarter, out - scoring the Nuggets 34 - 21 and closing the gap to just six points. After the Jazz were able to tie the game late in the fourth, Ty Lawson hit a go - ahead bucket with just under 30 seconds left. The Nuggets then had a huge block on the defensive side of the ball by Timofey Mozgov, while Darrell Arthur clinched the victory with two free throws on the other end. The Nuggets had seven players reach double figures in scoring, as they grabbed a solid team - effort win. Lawson was the leader on Monday with 15 points (6 - 15 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 3 - 5 FT) and 12 assists. It was his fifth double - double in a row and seventh in the last eight games, as he continues to go on a tear for the Nuggets. Wilson Chandler had 15 points (6 - 13 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt) of his own, while also adding four rebounds. He's now averaging 13 points and 6 rebounds on the year. Coming up huge for the Nuggets was Timofey Mozgov. Mozgov recorded his fifth double - double of the year, as he finished with 10 points (5 - 5 FG) and 10 rebounds in 28 minutes. He was a big reason Denver was able to sneak this one out, including his block in the final minute. Gordon Hayward did all he could to keep the Jazz in a position to steal a victory. Hayward shot 7 - for - 18 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from beyond the arc to score 25 points. He also got to the free throw line eight times, and converted on all eight attempts. Alec Burks had a big game, and finished with 22 points (7 - 15 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 8 - 10 FT), along with eight rebounds. The 22 points matched a season high for Burks, who's averaging only 13 points on the year. Enes Kanter was able to record 17 points and 15 rebounds. He helped the Jazz take a 48 - 39 rebounding advantage, which still was n't enough to push past the Nuggets.
