Wolves are hoping Denver gets sped up against that lineup and the Nuggets obliged. Lots of quick FGAs (decent looks) that they missed. But I think they can get great looks vs that lineup if they slow it down. Fell into the trap.

To put it into perspective, 24% of the Wolves' points came in a 6-minute sequence during this run.

On rewatch, 2 of Val's 3 minutes weren't bad. He had a really awful 2 possession sequence that resulted in 6 points. Ant beat him on a step through that he defended horribly Naz drive for and 1 Gave up Oreb on the ensuing FT Fouled Ant

I don't think DEN can defend that lineup but they can punish them inside. Wolves ran hot from 3 but they are much more likely to run hot from 3 when you don't make them pay on the other end. DEN can make them blink but they fed into the run by not having a smart attack on O

I think 90% of game 2 came down to the 8 minute stint of 5-out Wolves vs Jokic in the 2nd quarter. Wolves scored on 10 straight possessions. Jokic only attempted 3 FGs in that stretch. Nuggets seemed unprepared for how to attack that lineup.

An entire series can shift on a game like that. Let's talk through everything that happened. ✅ Jokic & Murray in the clutch ✅ Gobert vs Jokic through 2 games ✅ Wolves finding Denver's pressure points

Wolves were able to just sit Ant and Randle, roll bench+Donte for the final 2:41 minutes of the frame against Jokic ... And won the stretch by 3

A weird example of a game where both teams feel relieved to be tied at the half

The Nuggets and Wolves play nothing but classics but somehow there's always

Of course it's tied at the half

Great win for the Nuggets. Every playoff game takes on its own personality. This one wasn't pretty but Nuggets found a way.

No other team in my lifetime has delivered as many memorable high profile games and moments as Steph and Draymond’s Warriors. More than a decade into this and they still have nights like this in them.
