Peyton Watson from Nuggets reacts to reduced minutes with a big game at OKC

Oklahoma City – Peyton Watson had no view of the Donnerbank last Sunday. He did everything to see a good, long look at him on Monday.

With his fourth corner 3 pointer in so many attempts from you, the cross-breed sidelines started in front of OKC’s cross-breed-turned Watson and straightened up his irritants and cheerfully made back the end of the floor that he should actually dominate.

“Was not to one person in general,” he said. “But I definitely let a few things fly.”

If it could fly against a deliberately compact defense, Watson made it possible to score 16 points from Denvers Bank one day after it was glued to it. During the first game of a critical back-to-backback in Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City, he became Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City.

His contributions were of crucial importance for the victory of the Nuggets 140-127, which confirmed their ability to exchange strokes with the best of the best.

“It’s just about how to react in this business,” said coach Michael Malone. “You can feel sorry for yourself. You can be angry. Or you can do something about it. What Peyton has done today is that he is an adult (expired) man.”

Watson was appointed Malone’s defensive player of the game. He blocked two shots and helped the nuggets to carry out a mixed scheme that was pointed out to get the ball from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s hands. SGA confronted with zones, flashes and two-man traps in the timeline, SGA tried only 14 shots, his third nicked this season.

When Watson defends this, every offensive success is sauce. He poured a generous Helf Monday with a 6-against-7 shooting night overall. He recovered from poor sales of his first property by going out for a transition in his second.

“I was lit to play today,” said Watson. “I knew I would get another chance. And so I react to things like that when I was challenged by my coach or team.”

Watson’s minutes against other competing teams will serve as barometers for Malone’s trust. The 22-year-old wing was the seventh man most of the season, but he is still up to date after having missed a bricked knee throughout February.

In the first game in Oklahoma City, a loss of 127-103, he was a minus-10 in his limited minutes.

“It was frustrating, but I know that there is a coach and a player dynamic, (and) it is not always a friend of the friend. He wanted more from me,” said Watson. “And today I gave him exactly what we needed and we won the game.”

Watson is up to 37.1% this season from the 3-point line, including 48.3% from the corners, where the nuggets need it to clear the floor and keep the opponents honest. Defense seem to be ready to live with its 3 despite these numbers, as they were satisfied with letting Russell Westbrook and Christian Braun shoot.
