Humans have been putting spherical objects in hoops for centuries, but until the invention of the dunk, the fast break, and face dribbling, it wasn’t an activity worth watching. See if “basketball” lives up to the hype with today’s deal to see the Denver Nuggets play the Phoenix Suns at the Pepsi Center on Tuesday, February 14, at 7 p.m. For $54, you get a basketball outing for two (up to a $108 total value), which includes:

• Two tickets for seating in the upper level (up to a $68 value, including fees)
• Two Nuggets T-shirts (a $40 value)<p>

On Valentine’s Day, fans exercise their seldom-used yodeling muscles by cheering on the Denver Nuggets, who boast one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league, as they face off against the Phoenix Suns, the winningest franchise to have never won an NBA Championship. Point guard Ty Lawson dashes across the court, valiantly adding to his 15.5 points and 6.3 assists per game through 18 games, and forward Danilo Gallinari attempts to steal more basketballs than the Artful Dodger tiptoeing through a Sports Authority. During breaks amid the fast breaks, fans can admire the choreographed routines of the Nuggets dancers, break out a Running Man to sedimentary tiers of beats laid by Pepsi Center DJs, or gaze in awe at Rocky the super-mascot as he dances, dunks through flaming hoops, climbs the stands, and occasionally fills in as head coach.
