On another day of NBA, Denver Nuggets lost this tuesday 130 to 115 vs. Minnesota Timberwolves with a good defensive performance Facundo Campazzo in just 11.30m of play. The Argentine finished no points, with 4 assists, one rebound, two steals and one blockand again he was out of his team’s rotation.
The Cordovan point guard entered in the second half of the match, with the result practically decidedalthough his income was positive for the statistics: the team gained an eight-point lead with Campazzo on the court. On the other hand, Facu has gone two games without scoring, and against the Timberwolves he only attempted a three-point shot.
Of course, as almost always with Campazzo, there was room for fantasy. The Argentine assisted JaMychal Green and allowed him to score with a shot floated over his defender. The figure of Denver was, as in every match, Serbian Nikola Jokic, who scored 21 points and added 16 rebounds, 8 assists and a steal. On the negative side, the Joker was the one who lost the most balls, with five.
For Denver, this defeat meant cutting a streak of five consecutive victories and leaves Michael Malone’s men in sixth position in the Western Conference of the NBA. In the case of Facu, It is the third consecutive game with less than 20 minutes on court, although it is an improvement over the seven minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans and the three minutes against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Nuggets come from crushing the Bucks 136 to 100 and the base of the Argentine National Team played only the so-called “garbage minutes”. After that game, coach Michael Malone explained: “The bench is performing better and today the backup point guard is (Nah’Shon) Hyland. That does not mean that we do not have Facundo. Not so at all. We felt we should try something different.”
HOW IS DENVER IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE?
The Nuggets add 28 wins and 22 losses in the regular season and rank sixth in the Western Conferencebehind the Dallas Mavericks (29-22). The leader is the Phoenix Suns, who have 41 wins and only 9 losses.and is unstoppable with eleven consecutive wins.
The next confrontation for Campazzo’s team will be at midnight this Thursday, Argentina timeas a visitor to the Utah Jazz (30-21).
CAN FACU LEAVE DENVER?
One week before the closing of the transfer window in the NBA, coach Malone decided to remove Campazzo from the rotation, with three more games in that period (Utah Jazz, New Orleans Pelicans and Brooklyn Nets). In that sense, there was speculation of a possible exchange with another NBA franchise, although it is unlikely.
At the moment there are no concrete rumors about Facu’s departure, and most likely still in Denver. Malone’s words do not indicate any possibility of transfer, quite the opposite. The coach assured that he has the Argentine. In his best game in Denver, Campazzo had 22 points, 12 assists and had five steals, four rebounds and two blocks against Houston.
