WATCH: Bones Hyland delivers a hilarious reaction after nailing a near-impossible circus shot

Before the season began, the Denver Nuggets felt comfortable releasing Facundo Campazzo and Monte Morris. They knew that Jamal Murray was coming back and that Nikola Jokic was one of the best playmakers this game has ever seen.
They also knew Bones Hyland was prepared to play a bigger part this season. The VCU graduate, who is in his second season, has so far repaid that self-assurance with an excellent play off the bench, averaging 13.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers in just over 20 minutes per game:
“Bones is such an important part of this team,” coach Mike Malone told the Denver Post. “He really is. When Bones is playing well, the impact he has, not only on that second unit but the starters, is (huge),” the coach continued. “Once I’m being myself out there, being Bizzy, playing with confidence, I think I give so much confidence within the team,” Bones Hyland said. In any case, the victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night was another example of that “Bizziness” and confidence in full force.
The league’s newest meme was created after Bones, who finished with 16 points on 5/11 shooting, made an acrobatic basket over Amir Coffey. He fell to the ground and just stared at the camera for several seconds with one of the most hilarious expressions you’ll ever see. The Nuggets had no issue defeating the Clippers, they took the lead early on, 32-15, and never relinquished it. Additionally, people now have a memory of this game for years to come.

Denver Nuggets look dominant on offense as they hand the LA Clippers their fourth consecutive defeat
The moment has come, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope have all returned, and Gordon and reigning MVP Nikola Jokic have been boosting the lineup. The Nuggets, who are on an incredible run, welcomed the Clippers to town on Thursday night for a matchup. The Nuggets triumphed with a performance that should send a message to the rest of the NBA, much like they did two years ago.
This time, 122-91, to hand Los Angeles a fourth consecutive defeat as Denver moved back into first place in the Western Conference at 25-13. The team with the second-best offensive rating in the league this season 116.7 points per 100 possessions put on yet another outstanding offensive display.
Nikola Jokic, one of the most talented offensive players in history, along with Murray, Porter, and Bones Hyland are all excellent perimeter shooters for them. They also lead the league in 3-point shooting at 39.8 percent and rank second in the league in true shooting at 60.7 percent. The defense is still under scrutiny, but the offense is so explosive that it might not matter. This victory, like the one from two years ago, made it evident that they would be in the running to make the NBA Finals in the competitive Western Conference. All they need to do now is maintain their health.
