Pierce led the way with 24 points, 7 assists and 6 boards

Like I said, numbers they need. For the Nuggets to win a big game like this they need 25+ from both Anthony and Iverson. They need a big defensive game from Camby (9 blocks will do). Kleiza needs to come off the bench for some solid contribution.
