The Denver Nuggets defeated the visiting Phoenix Suns, 120 - 104, at Pepsi Center on Wednesday. The Nuggets (4 - 7) essentially had control of the game from start to finish, holding off every Suns' (3 - 9) run en route to earning their first win at home this season. Wilson Chandler led the way off the bench for Denver, putting together his best game of the season, recording a team - high 28 points on top of 11 rebounds and five assists. It marks the first time Chandler has scored at least 28 points since April of 2015. Kenneth Faried also had what was easily his best game of the season, notching a double - double - - his second straight - - of 20 points and 15 rebounds. Over his last two games, Faried has totaled 38 points and 29 rebounds. For the Suns, Wednesday's loss was their third in a row and fifth in six games, as it was a struggle for the majority of the team's rotation. While Devin Booker put together a 24 - point performance, the rest of Phoenix's starters scored a combined 23 points. If it was n't for Brandon Knight's heroic 32 - point performance in 27 minutes off the bench, this game could have been even uglier for the Suns. In the end, the game was lost for Phoenix at the free throw line, where they shot an impressive 29 times and managed to convert just 18. Up next, the Nuggets will look to continue their winning ways against the Raptors on Friday, while the Suns will attempt to turn things around Friday against the Pacers.
