The Denver Nuggets defeated the Utah Jazz after two overtime periods, 134-132, on Saturday at Orlando.

The Nuggets (46-24) and the Jazz (43-26) delivered one of the most intense games in the Orlando bubble since the NBA restarted July 30, as Denver needed two overtime periods to get past a resilient Utah side. The Jazz started better, though, winning the first quarter by 14 points and holding the lead comfortably until the end of the third period. Denver couldn't close things out in the fourth, however, and two late buckets from Donovan Mitchell forced an overtime period. Both teams ended tied at 105-105 at regulation, but in the end, they needed not one, but two overtime periods to find a winner. Denver survived, though, and they escaped with a two-point win.

Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 30 points, 11 rebounds and seven dimes, while Jamal Murray chipped in with 23 points, 12 boards and eight assists. Michael Porter contributed 23 points with 11 boards, and the rookie power forward continues to be one of the best players for Denver since the resumption of the league. Jerami Grant and Monte Morris impressed off the bench, as they contributed with 21 and 15 points, respectively.

Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 35 points, and he also added eight assists with six rebounds. Rudy Gobert had a double-double after posting 22 points and 13 rebounds, while Joe Ingles dished out a season-high 13 assists while also adding 11 points. Mike Conley had 20 points, five boards and five dimes. Jordan Clarkson operated as a weapon off the bench and added 19 points in only 26 minutes.
