Nuggets‘ Coach Karl wins in return to bench

The Denver Nuggets coach returned to the team after spending two days with his son, who had surgery to remove cancerous lymph nodes.

„We were all aware of the situation, with his son and everything“ Nugget forward Carmelo Anthony said after Denver’s 120-115 win over Sacramento on Wednesday night.. „He settled us down by telling us all was well.“

Melo had his 4th straight 30-point game scoring 31. Iverson had a double-double, with 16 points and 10 assists. Nuggets are now a half game behind LA Lakers for the 6th spot. But, do they want to play Phoenix or San Antonio in the first round?
