Facundo Campazzo scored 16 points and achieved his

record for points in the NBA

.

However, the Denver Nuggets suffered from the irregularity of their figures and the power of Trae Young, who led the Atlanta Hawks to victory by 123-115 on a new NBA day.

The Cordovan played the fifth consecutive match with 10 or more goals.

This Sunday he hit 4 of 7 in field goals (all triple attempts) and had a perfect ERA from the free line (4 of 4).

He also gave two assists and took a rebound, in addition to committing one loss and five personal fouls.

His previous best scoring mark had been against the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, on February 15 and 16, with 15 points in each game.

The night had not started well for the Argentine.

He played the last 4m50s of the opening quarter, in which he gave a nice pass to Bol Bol and the Nuggets went 33-27 up.

However, everything was about to change.

The second quarter was the breaking point of the meeting.

With Campazzo still on the court, Atlanta posted a 10-0 run and came forward.

Will Barton snapped that streak, but the Hawks maintained their level and took off: 64-56 at the end of the first 24 minutes.

The split contribution of Young (11 points so far), Kevin Huerter (9), Clint Capela and Cam Reddish (8) were decisive for Atlanta to take a decisive step towards victory.

Instead, the Nuggets suffered from Nikola Jokic's drought (just 3 points in the first half).

The Serbian giant seemed to stretch in the following period.

He distributed assists and also increased his personal points count.

But then it was Murray who shut down.

Mike Malone looked to the bench for momentum to prop up Jokic.

But in the midst of the collective disorientation, Campazzo did not find his way either.

Atlanta took advantage and got a maximum difference of 22 points.

Due to their own weaknesses, the Nuggets were faced with a very tough challenge at the start of the fourth quarter: coming back from 76-93.

They tried.

Jokic hit his usual double-double and Murray scored 16 points (he had 14 at the start of the period).

In that section the best level of Campazzo was seen throughout the night.

He actively participated in the rotation of the ball, scored four free and three triples in the final stretch.

His intensity brought him to the edge of the personal foul limit.

It was not enough for the team, but it was enough for the Argentine to continue to gain confidence in Denver.

The Nuggets are seventh (16 wins and 14 losses) in the NBA Western Conference and will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday at midnight.

Meanwhile, Atlanta is ranked tenth in the East (13-17).
