The MIGHTY NUGGETS suffered their first loss at home, going down to
Utah 118-109.  The Nuggs played well in the first and third quarters,
in particular the first, where they held a 17pt lead.  But Utah went
on a 26-2 run and the young Nuggs struggled.  Unlike last year, they
continued to play hard, and were in it until late in the fourth quarter.
Once again it was Chris Jackson's offense leading the way, even giving
the Nuggies an 81-79 lead in the 3rd quarter.  But Utah wore down the
Nuggs to win it in the 4th.

Dan Issel got his first technical of the year, arguing about the disparity
of foul calls against his team.  When he made a crack about Utah's
"Dream Teamers", he got nailed.  Scott Hastings got his technical foul
when he asked the officials if they were aware of how many more fouls Utah
had shot than Denver in the 2nd quarter.  The officials gave him a T, saying
that he'd questioned their integrity.  Like any question wouldn't.

Mark Macon didn't play again due to his sprained ankles.  The Nuggs have
their first big road trip, traveling to Chicago, Milwaukee and Indiana in
the next 5 days.
