The Denver Nuggets came out victorious over the Phoenix Suns in only the second outdoor game in NBA history on Saturday night, the Denver Post reported.

In 68 degree temperature on a breezy Californian night at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Denver won the game 77-72 without Allen Iverson or Carmelo Anthony, who both were out injured.

"Good idea, wrong time of day," Denver's Kenyon Martin said.

"It was kind of windy when you were on the court," Nuggets' point guard Anthony Carter said. "Every now and then, a gust of wind would just come, and you'd hope the pass would get to the other person. It was a fun experience, though."
