The Denver Nuggets are officially the holders of the NBA’s top active winning streak. They secured a 10th-straight victory on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Nuggets defeated the Grizzlies 136-119.
By winning that game, the Nuggets now have the most wins in a row during the Nikola Jokic era.
After the game, Denver’s head coach, David Adelman, addressed the accomplishment.
David Adelman Reacts To The Nuggets’ Big Streak
“It means something to me. I’ve been here. I was not aware of that. I said that before the game, too. We’ve won so much over the years that you would expect that we get to a double-digit win streak. And I think it speaks to the consistency over the years of us always bouncing back after a loss,” Adelman told reporters.
Adelman, 44, has been coaching the Nuggets since 2017. Prior to his run in Denver, Adelman had a run as an assistant with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Orlando Magic. He was an assistant for the Nuggets from 2017 to 2025.
After the Nuggets cut ties with Michael Malone late in the 2024-2025 NBA season, they promoted Adelman to interim head coach. Following the 2025 NBA Playoffs, it was confirmed that Adelman would be the full-time head coach moving forward.
“I do think it says a lot about the group staying with it during this period of time. And I think in this league, especially this season, that’s been so unique with the schedule change, the streaming stations, all those things, when your schedule breaks your way, you have to take advantage of it. And we’ve done that,” Adelman added.
“I’m proud of it. You know, 10 in a row is a real deal. It’s a real thing. And for those two guys, shocking that we never did it, but cool that we did this year.”
The Nuggets Are Finishing Strong
After Wednesday’s win, the Nuggets improved to 52-28 on the season.
They now have a 1.5-game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers for the third seed in the Western Conference.
