Nuggets Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Nuggets have a swagger and a strut. It's like they're winning
games on the playground and calling for the next foe.
They won at Boston, the defending NBA champion, last Friday in
their previous road game. Next.
They triumphed at San Antonio, the 2007 champs, on Wednesday. Next.
Well, that would leave Friday's date in Los Angeles against the
Lakers, likely the NBA's best team.
"We're going to go in there and try to steal another game on the
road," Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony said about the team that has
owned Denver of late.
Of course, that was before the Nov. 3 trade in which Denver
acquired guard Chauncey Billups.

"It's early, but it's exciting," Iverson said.

Nuggets return to high-flying ways in win (AP)
The high-flying, high-scoring Denver Nuggets didn't leave town with Allen Iverson, after all.
