Renaldo Balkman

high 25 points. Although the Nuggets starters were holding their own, the energy of Kleiza and Renaldo Balkman was unbelievable and shocked the Bucks. While Kleiza's damage was done mostly on the offensive end, Balkman dominated on the defensive end with 4 blocks and 2 steals in only 20 minutes of play. It is really great to see such energy off the bench for the Nuggets, especially with "Birdman" Chris Anderson still out. 48 bench points is the most of the season and hopefully a good sign for things to come. I have seen that some fans are worried about the Nuggets starters needing more minutes together and need to find their rhythm, and I have previously agreed with that. But with the Spurs coming up just one night later, I think it was a great move to let the bench players get some time as long as they were playing well.
