Denver put 79 points on the board in the opening 24 minutes while shooting a ridiculously efficient 70 percent.
The eighth-place Nuggets were somehow able to accomplish this offensive onslaught with just nine players dressed, having six players - including a trio of starters - dealing with various illnesses and injuries.
The Cleveland Cavaliers put up 16 long bombs in a half versus the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this season.
