Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Jokic scores 26 and Murray adds 24 to lead the hot-shooting Nuggets past the Suns 130-112
PHOENIX -- — Nikola Jokic scored 26 points, Jamal Murray added 24 and the Denver Nuggets pulled away late to beat the Phoenix Suns 130-112 on Saturday night.
The hot-shooting Nuggets made 22 of 38 3-pointers (57.9%) — hitting 10 in the first half and 12 in the second for a steady stream of offense. Tim Hardaway Jr . scored 23 points off the bench and was 7 of 11 from behind the arc.
Jokic — who barely played in the fourth quarter — was 7 of 7 from the field and added 10 assists and nine rebounds to finish just shy of his 11th triple-double this season.
Denver pushed its lead to 96-85 entering the fourth quarter after hitting eight 3-pointers in the third. The Suns cut the deficit to nine early in the fourth but the Nuggets responded with the next 12 points to build a comfortable 110-89 advantage.
The Nuggets bounced back from Friday night's loss to the San Antonio Spurs . The Suns have lost three of four.
Dillon Brooks led the Suns with 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting. Devin Booker scored 24, making 14 of 15 free throws.
The Nuggets had a 63-60 lead at halftime after shooting 10 of 16 (62.5%) from 3-point range. Jokic had 18 points and Hardaway added 17. Brooks led the Suns with 19.
Suns guard Grayson Allen returned after missing more than two weeks with a bruised quadriceps. He finished with 10 points.
Up next Nuggets: Host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.
