Where was the wind, temperature or just a different environment to play, the NBA first game to open in more than three decades has been a struggle offensive. The Denver nuggets beat the Phoenix Suns 77-72 Saturday night in the exhibition game as Outdoors NBA! at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Both teams struggled from the field and the free-throw line and combined to go 3-for-27 from three-point range on a night when temperatures dipped into the mid teens with some of the wind hitting the court by the end of game.
