The Denver Nuggets ( 17 - 27 ) defeated the Detroit Pistons ( 23 - 21 ) 104 - 101 on Saturday night . This game was full of big swings , but the Nuggets were able to make the final push to pull out a win . What really guided Denver to a win was a 39 - 20 third quarter , in which they were trailing by double - digits prior to that . This was a mental win for Denver , as they dominated the turnover margin and the free - throw shooting . In fact , Denver shot 83 percent on their free - throws to the Pistons 53 percent and committed half as many turnovers as Detroit in the victory . The Pistons actually dominated the rebounding , as they snatched down 51 boards to the Nuggets 32 . Detroit came into this game as a small favorite , but could n't muster up enough late to pull out the road win . The bench was the only reason they played so well , as they scored 41 bench points to go along with an impressive 27 rebounds . Andre Drummond had his worst game of the season , as he tallied just four points and eight rebounds in just 18 minutes of play . Drummond got in foul trouble early and Aron Baynes got the late minutes because he simply outplayed him . Baynes actually finished with a double - double in the loss . Marcus Morris led the team with 20 points and there were stretches when he was asked to ISO the offense and essentially carry the offense . When Reggie Jackson and Drummond struggle like this , they almost never win . The Pistons will stay in altitude , as they have to play the Jazz in Utah on Tuesday in their next game . Denver is now 4 - 3 in their current eight - game homestand , with all of the games coming down to the wire . The starters were all exceptional tonight for the Nuggets tonight , as they all played at least 32 minutes and combined for 82 points and 15 steals . Danilo Gallinari scored a game - high 30 points and is one of the top - five scorers in the NBA since the beginning of January . The rookies were fantastic for Denver as well , as Nikola Jokic and Emmanuel Mudiay combined for 35 points , nine rebounds , seven assists , three steals and four blocks in the win . The Nuggets will cap off their homestand on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks in what should be another close matchup .
