In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Mike Singer and deputy sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene after Denver blasted the Spurs to move to 4-0 at Ball Arena. Among the topics discussed:

+ Bones Hyland played his best game of the season coming off the bench against San Antonio on Saturday night. What clicked for the second-year player? Can he keep up his red-hot 3-point shooting? What does his recent play mean for the second unit?

+ Michael Porter Jr. looks healthy and spry playing more than 28 minutes a night. Among the developments: MPJ is thriving alongside Hyland with the second unit. Why has that pairing worked as well as it has? Should the Nuggets consider bringing Porter off the bench as a super sixth man?

+ Jamal Murray finally had a moment on the road in Oklahoma City, including a reverse dunk that helped stem the tide in a game that nearly slipped away from the Nuggets. Are we at the point where Murray will shed the minutes restriction? Is Old Murray already back?

+ The Nuggets' defensive rating currently stands at 20th in the NBA, well short of the top-five rating head coach Michael Malone is hoping for. What's gone wrong? What can be improved? How much room is there for growth?

+ Nikola Jokic is averaging a little under 13 shots per game. Cause for concern? Or nothing to see here?
