The Denver Nuggets ( 7 - 13 ) edged the Toronto Raptors ( 12 - 8 ) 106 - 105 on Thursday . The Nuggets were able to prevent their first nine - game losing streak since the 2002 - 3 campaign by shocking Toronto on the Raptors ' home court . They accomplished the improbable feat with an outstanding all - around team effort , led by balanced scoring from four of their five starters , as well as from their sixth - man extraordinare , Will Barton . Denver , not exactly known for their frontcourt prowess , was outscored in the paint by the wide margin of 52 to 32 . However , they somewhat surprisingly outrebounded Toronto 42 to 39 , and also dished out a superb 30 assists , as compared to 21 tallied by the Raptors . Overall , the Nuggets were much more reminscent of the team that got off to a suprising 5 - 4 start , rather than the unit that stumbled their way through eight consecutive losses before Thursday . The visitors were led by Danilo Gallinari 's 21 points , which were supplemented by five rebounds and three assists . Darrell Arthur turned in a solid effort in a spot start for Kenneth Faried , managing 19 points , six rebounds , two assists , two steals and two blocks . Joffrey Lauvergne made a strong return to the starting lineup with a season - high 14 points and posted his first double - double of the season by adding 10 boards . Randy Foye pitched in 12 points and Barton paced Denver 's reserves with a typical starting - caliber performance , pouring in 22 points and adding four rebounds and four assists . Denver improved to 7 - 13 and currently resides in last place in the Western Conference 's Northwest Division . They head to Philadelphia to face the Sixers on Saturday . The Raptors received a season - high 34 - point effort from DeMar DeRozan , who capitalized on a Nuggets ' defense ranked in the bottom half of the league versus shooting guards . However , Kyle Lowry , who had an even better matchup versus rookie Emmanuel Mudiay , somewhat underwhelmed scoring - wise with 16 points on subpar 4 - of - 16 shooting . He did manage round out the stat sheet nicely with eight assists , six rebounds , four steals and a pair of blocks . DeMarre Carroll was the third and final Toronto starter with double - digit points ( 10 ) , while Cory Joseph continued his recent stretch of strong play by pacing the Raptors ' reserves with 15 points , four rebounds , two assists and two steals over 28 minutes . Toronto fell to 12 - 8 but remains in first place in the Eastern Conference 's Atlantic Division . They remain home to face for a tough matchup versus the Golden State Warriors on Saturday .
