How it happened
Fred VanVleet scored 36 points for the Raptors as they rode the wave of a franchise-record, 49-point first quarter to defeat the shell-shocked Nuggets.
Nikola Jokic did his bit, scoring 28 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and contributing 7 assists but he failed to stop the onslaught from Toronto.
“Right now we’re just in chill mode, and you can’t be in chill mode with 13 games to go in the season,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.
“We’ve got to try to find a way to get our swagger back.”
