<p><span>Brook Lopez</span> had the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-jersey-nets">New Jersey Nets</a> road to a .500 road trip in his hands, directly under the basket thanks to a perfect pass from <span>Travis Outlaw</span>. But the center put the ball off the glass too strong and instead of potentially forcing overtime, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/">Nuggets</a> were able to ice a 107-103 victory.</p>
<p>New Jersey finished with a record of 1-3 while on the West coast, though they were in every game down the stretch.</p>
<p>Despite missing that point blank shot, Lopez paced the Nets with 20 points as they scored over 100 points for just the second time in the last seven games. In all, 7 nets finished in double figures including rookie <span>Derrick Favors</span> (14) who has been long rumored to be heading to Denver in a trade for <span>Carmelo Anthony</span>.</p>
<p>Anthony led the way for the Nuggets scoring 28 points and 8 rebounds. Nene added 22 as the only other Denver starter to finish with more than 10 points.</p>
<p>The Nets will head back to New Jersey to take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> Tuesday night before going back on the road again.</p>

<p>(Sports Network) - The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/new-jersey-nets">New Jersey Nets</a> finish up a four-game western road trip tonight in the Rockies when they face the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a> at Pepsi Center.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-jersey-nets">Nets</a> fell to 1-2 on the trek last night in Sacramento when <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/71904/tyreke-evans">Tyreke Evans</a> finished with 20 points, as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/sacramento-kings">Kings</a> held off New Jersey, 86-81, to snap a six-game losing streak.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21640/kris-humphries">Kris Humphries</a> ended with 18 points and 10 boards for the Nets, who have lost 25 of their last 26 games against Western Conference opponents with the lone win coming against the LA <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/los-angeles-clippers">Clippers</a> on the opener of this trip.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/35056/brook-lopez">Brook Lopez</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21719/devin-harris">Devin Harris</a> shot a combined 6-of-21 and accounted for 17 points.</p>
<p>"Both Devin and I really didn't have great games," Lopez said. "Two co- captains of this team, we've got to step it up, we can't have nights like this."</p>
<p>New Jersey will be searching for its third road win tonight, a feat it didn't accomplish until Feb. 27 last season.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/">Nuggets</a>, meanwhile, are coming off a tough 86-83 loss in Portland on Thursday. <span>LaMarcus Aldridge</span> scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in that one, as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/teams/portland-trail-blazers">Trail Blazers</a> held off Denver.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21501/carmelo-anthony">Carmelo Anthony</a> finished with 18 points and eight rebounds for the Nuggets, who have lost four straight on the road. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/21703/al-harrington">Al Harrington</a> added 17 points off the bench. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nba/players/24211/arron-afflalo">Arron Afflalo</a> scored 16 points and pulled down 11 rebounds in defeat.</p>
<p>Anthony, of course, has yet to accept a three-year, $65 million extension offered to him by Denver in June and has been the subject of rampant trade rumors with New Jersey regarded as one of the key suitors.</p>
<p>The Nuggets have won three straight and six of their last seven meetings with the Nets.</p>
