Nuggets Vs. Bucks Final Score: Gallinari Leads Comeback Win For Denver

You could excuse the Denver Nuggets for tired legs on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. After all, this was the third game in three days for the Nuggets, a new caveat every team will at one point have to endure thanks to the league's lockout-shortened 66-game schedule. But the Nuggets showed resolve in a come-back 91-86 win over the Bucks to improve to 4-2.
