Melo, Billups lead Nuggets past Jazz

DENVER: The Denver Nuggets unveiled their new two-point guard look on Sunday night with Chauncey Billups and rookie Ty Lawson.

The results were impressive with Billups scoring 29 points to go with Carmelo Anthony's 37 in a 119-112 win over Utah that snapped the Jazz's winning streak at four.

Lawson scored 11 points and had an assist and two key steals in his return from a sprained ankle that cost him four games but it was the things that don't show up in the stat sheet next to his name where his presence was truly felt.
