Oh, and remember how the Nuggets (25-21) — finally — didn’t have any injuries? In the third quarter, forward Danilo Gallinari was spotted holding his hand after attempting to block an Ian Mahinmi layup attempt. Gallo then went to the locker room where it was discovered he had a fractured left thumb. Gallinari is a right-handed shooter.

“I don’t know how long it’s going to be,” said Gallinari. “It’s not going to be short. It’s a fracture. The doctor told me the fracture takes four weeks to heal. Hopefully I can put something on and play sooner than that.”
