    Minnesota up by 3, Denver's title defense beginning to fade

    Denver has the worst 3 pt % of all teams left in playoffs.

    Jamal Murray pulled a Banton, shot 2-15 in one of those games.

    The problem with the Nuggets is that neither Porter, Gordon, or Pope can create their own shot. It works against most teams because Jokic is so good. But they can look bad at times. And they have no bench.

    can't play hack-a-Gobert anymore.

    all Rudy needed was:
    you've got
    to make
    your free throws

    Can't believe that the Wolves are actually going to do it. They're being helped by the Nugs being ice cold from three these past two games.

    I want the Nuggets to win, but I'm rooting for whichever team wins from here on out.

    Nuggets outsized, outmuscled everyone last playoffs, while putting on a ball control and 3pt clinic.

    Minnesota has big guys, they can counter in the paint, with the gravity of spicy superstar Edwards.

    Good series, took all 7 to find a winner

    All the Wolves stepping up.

    I'm impressed.

    Reid tip dunk, Conley steal, Edwards triple. Nuggets fans grabbing sweaters and packing up leftovers. Nothing better then cold pizza on a fishing trip.

    You better have a decent three point shooting team.

    I thought Minnesota would come back after halftime and make a game of it. The pressure was off at that point. But I thought Denver would respond. But they have no energy whatsoever.
    Their lack of a bench finally caught up with them.

    Wolves have had the best D in the league all year.

    Edwards isn’t a superstar. 47th best PER in NBA. PER isn’t everything but it’s not nothing.
