Why? Three of the main reasons are because the post-Melo Nuggets are playing sensational defense, moving the ball well, and playing fast with the ball.
They showed all of that off on a play in Wednesday's night win over the Sacramento Kings, when Wilson Chandler(acquired in the Melo trade) pulled off a Javale McGee-esque block/steal, and the possession ended with a terrific Danilo Gallinari(also acquired in the Melo trade) dunk after great ball movement.
