Jimmy Butler had a triple double and Dwyane Wade was a stolen-rebound-by-Felicio away from his own as well.

The Nuggets were victorious in their first home game since February 15.

KEVIN Martin went under the tutelage of some of the game’s best tacticians.

In truth, just before he retired a season ago, he was coached by one of the greatest minds in professional basketball, Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs.
