The Denver Nuggets defeated the Sacramento Kings 130–124 on November 3 at Ball Arena, with Nikola Jokić's 34 points anchoring a balanced offensive attack that featured Christian Braun's 21 points. Denver shot 51.5 percent from the field and made 12 three-pointers while maintaining a 122.0 offensive rating, though the Kings stayed competitive throughout behind Russell Westbrook's 26 points and DeMar DeRozan's 19. Sacramento's 47 rebounds nearly offset Denver's efficiency, but the Nuggets controlled the second quarter with a 33-point outburst and limited the Kings to 30 points in the third frame, extending their lead decisively. Denver's 33 assists and seven turnovers contrasted sharply with Sacramento's 15 turnovers and 27 assists, a turnover differential that proved decisive in a six-point margin. The Kings shot 52.2 percent themselves but couldn't overcome Denver's execution down the stretch, as the Nuggets' 114.8 defensive rating held firm when it mattered most. This victory reinforces Denver's status as a Western Conference threat despite Sacramento's strong shooting night.
