DETROIT — Christian Braun attacked his minutes Thursday night like a dog salivating over red meat.Throughout an inconsistent campaign, Braun has stayed even-keeled, unperturbed when the minutes come and go. But more often than not, when Nuggets coach Michael Malone has opted for the poised rookie, he’s delivered.Such was the case against the Pistons, when the Nuggets desperately needed to snap a four-game losing streak, and Braun was a fixture of the lineup that swung the game.Throughout the first five-plus minutes of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets outscored Detroit 11-5, which created the rare advantage while Nikola Jokic rested. Denver’s much-maligned bench unit took shape, with Braun, Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, Thomas Bryant and Jamal Murray bridging the gap between starters and reserves.Asked what he wanted the identity of that unit to be, Malone distilled the priorities succinctly.“I want that identity to be defend, rebound, run, be nasty, be physical, and get some easy baskets ...

After more than two years as executive director of New Museum Los Gatos, Ami Davis announced she is stepping down at the end of March to work in Santa Cruz.“As you can imagine, it was a difficult decision to leave the incredible staff and board at NUMU,” Davis said in a statement. “However, after putting NUMU on a successful path forward, it’s time for new leadership to take the helm and continue the museum’s growth.”Davis, who accepted a position with Arts Council Santa Cruz County, oversaw NUMU through the pandemic, boosted community engagement and membership retention and established new community partnerships.
