<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/charlotte-bobcats">Charlotte Bobcats</a> defeated the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/">Denver Nuggets</a>, 100-98, keeping Denver coach <span>George Karl</span> stuck on win No. 999.</p>
<p>Going for the milestone victory in the state he played collegiate ball against one of his best friends in Bobcats coach <span>Larry Brown</span>, Karl wasn't able to help the Nuggets shooting woes, as the team went a combined 31-73, 42.5% from the field in the loss.</p>
<p>The loss also snapped the Nuggets seven-game win streak.</p>
<p>Though leading scorers Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony scored 25 and 22, respectively, their 13-of-34 shooting crippled the Nuggets. The bright spot shooting was J.R. Smith, who went 5-of-9 from the field, including 4-of-6 from three-point land. Smith finished with 14.</p>
<p>Charlotte, which shot 50 percent from the field on 39-of-78 shooting, was led in scoring by Stephen Jackson's 23. Jackson also tied Gerald Wallace, who scored 20, for the team high in rebounds with nine.</p>
<p>Karl will go for win No. 1,000 Wednesday evening when the Nuggets visit the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.celticsblog.com/">Boston Celtics</a>.</p>

<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span><b>AF: </b>What will it mean if this happens in Charlotte near where your basketball career started?<span> And w</span>ill Dean Smith be in attendance?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span><b>GK: </b></span><span style="font-size: 13px;">I respect what it says.<span> </span>Longevity in the business.<span> </span>Delivering a product of excellence.<span> </span>Making the playoffs.<span> And just b</span></span><span style="font-size: 13px;">e as good as you can be.<span> </span></span><span style="font-size: 13px;">I’ve made the playoffs almost every year of my career, but we’ve played the eventual NBA champion a lot early in those runs.<span> </span>Even in Milwaukee we played Indiana, New Jersey and Philly before those teams went to the Finals.<span> </span>I wish we could’ve gotten more playoff wins along the way but I think I've delivered excellence.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>I tried to call coach [Roy] Williams today to see if he might be there.<span> I d</span>on’t know about Dean Smith.<span> </span>He has so many guys that he has mentored - whether it be me, Larry [Brown], <span class="sbn-auto-link"><span>John Kuester</span></span>, Roy [Williams] and so on that it’s tough for him to keep up with them all and be there for every one's individual milestone.<span> </span></span><span style="font-size: 13px;">A couple guys from my Carolina team will be there.<span> And </span>I think Michael Jordan will be here.<span> So t</span>here will be enough Carolina blood in the building to go around.</span></p>

<p>Head coach <span>George Karl</span> goes for win 1000 and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/">Denver Nuggets</a> hope to extend their current seven-game win streak as they visit the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/charlotte-bobcats">Charlotte Bobcats</a> Tuesday evening.</p>
<p>Karl hopes to become the seventh coach to collect his 1000th career NBA coaching victory, in the state where his basketball passion blossomed. Though a native of Pennsylvania, Karl played collegiately as a North Carolina Tar Heel, which is located in Chapel Hill, 2.5 hours from Charlotte.</p>
<p>Should the Nuggets win, it would be additionally satisfying for Karl, who would net the win against his good friend, and fellow 1000 game winner, Bobcats coach <span>Larry Brown</span>.</p>
<p>As a team the Nuggets (13-6) are riding a seven game win streak, though only one of those wins has come on the road, a 106-89 victory at the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/">Golden State Warriors</a> on November 22.</p>
<p>The Nuggets are coming off two career-type games from <span>Arron Afflalo</span> and <span>Nene</span>, in a one-point victory over the Memphis <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.grizzlybearblues.com/">Grizzlies</a> on Sunday. In the game Afflalo scored a career-high 25 points and Nene registered 27 points and 11 rebounds. <span>J.R. Smith</span>, who had been electric over the past week was held to five points in the contest.</p>
<p>For the season <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21501/carmelo-anthony">Carmelo Anthony</a> leads the team in scoring and rebounding, registering 22.8 ppg and eight rpg. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21686/chauncey-billups">Chauncey Billups</a> leads in assists.</p>
<p>The Bobcats (7-13) haven't quite gotten things together this season. <span>Stephen Jackson</span> leads the team in scoring with an average of 18.4 per game. <span>Gerald Wallace</span> is tops with 8.1 rebounds per game and D.J. Augustin's 6.7 assists per game lead the squad.</p>
<p>If there is one bright spot for the Bobcats it's that they play relatively good defense, ranking 10<sup>th</sup> in the NBA allowing only 97 ppg.</p>
<p>The tip is set for 5:00 p.m. MT and can be seen on Altitude.</p>
