Denver dismantled Sacramento 136–105 on December 11 at Golden 1 Center, with Nikola Jokić leading the Nuggets' offensive onslaught with 36 points while P. Watson added 21 in a dominant road performance. The Nuggets' efficiency was overwhelming: they shot 59.1 percent from the field and made 12 three-pointers, translating to a 132.3 offensive rating that exposed Sacramento's 101.8 defensive rating. Denver's ball movement was equally impressive, with 35 assists to Sacramento's 21, and they controlled the glass with 46 rebounds compared to the Kings' 38. The game was decided early, with Denver's first quarter alone producing 41 points as Sacramento managed just 26, setting an insurmountable tone. M. Monk led the Kings with 18 points and R. Westbrook contributed 17, but Sacramento's 44.8 field-goal percentage and 16 turnovers proved insufficient against a Nuggets team that committed only 12 turnovers. The final margin of 31 points exceeded the Vegas total of 239.5, highlighting Denver's superior execution on both ends. The win underscores Denver's status as a Western Conference threat heading into the season's stretch run.
