The Denver Nuggets defeated the Phoenix Suns 130–112 on November 29 at Footprint Center, combining elite efficiency and perimeter shooting to overwhelm their Western Conference rival. Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray led Denver with 26 and 24 points respectively, while the Nuggets shot 57.9 percent from the field and made 22 three-pointers—well above the 233.5-point Vegas total line. Denver's balanced attack was reflected in 36 assists and 40 rebounds, though 16 turnovers tempered the performance. The Suns, led by Devin Brooks's 27 points and Devin Booker's 24, managed only 44.3 percent shooting and made just 14 threes despite 11 steals. Denver's offensive rating of 142.5 contrasted sharply with Phoenix's 117.4, and the Nuggets' consistent scoring—30, 33, 33, and 34 points across four quarters—proved decisive. The loss represents a significant setback for Phoenix's playoff positioning in the competitive Western Conference.
