DENVER – The Denver Nuggets are not “quitters”, and that was why they staged a dramatic second-half fightback to defeat the short-handed Toronto Raptors 125-119 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) on March 11.

Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic grabbed a 35-point triple-double to drag Denver back into contention, after the NBA champions trailed by 22 points in the second quarter.
