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.
