TORONTO — Option No. 1 was getting swarmed in a continuation of the recent trend that has vexed him and the Nuggets. Option No. 2 might have actually been playing on one leg, as coach Michael Malone joked about before the game.That left the Nuggets with Option No. 3 as their way out of a three-game losing streak: The player who was benched for most of the second half in the third of those losses.Michael Porter Jr. led an impressive Denver comeback with 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting here Tuesday night, but with Nikola Jokic contained and Jamal Murray not fully healthy, the Nuggets fell short of erasing a 24-point deficit in a 125-110 loss to the Raptors.The Nuggets’ most recent win remains their narrow escape against Toronto eight days earlier at Ball Arena. Since then, they have lost four straight, a season-long losing streak for the Western Conference’s top team.Denver (46-23) pulled within three points early in the fourth quarter but couldn’t quite overcome...

It just does not look good.”Young Walter, son of Ellis, the former Nuggets first-round pick and Front Range fan favorite, is 23 now. The older he gets, the younger Ellis noted, the more he starts looking like the old man. Acting like him, too.“My dad used to do this thing that irritated me when I was younger, he’d wag a finger or wave his hand along to a song,” Walter recalled. “Or he would tap his fingers to the beat. And lo and behold, I’m 23 and I kid you not, now if I hear a song that I like, I’m making all kinds of body motions. I’m like, ‘...
