tonight's game in Denver
Denver Nuggets
Wolves had a great second then went cold and Denver scored the last 8 including this nonsense from Jamal Murray
As called on Nuggets radio:
Nuggets went 3-11 this season when getting out-scored by 14 or more in a quarter as they did in the second quarter of Game 2
But they were also 21-4 when out-scoring their opponent by 14 or more in a quarter as they did in the first quarter of Game 1.
Something's gotta give.
Dane points out Denver didn't have drop coverage to attack with that pick and roll with Rudy out. We're doing another postgame pod and I'm sure that will be explained.
John Denver lived in Minneapolis for a while.
John Minneapolis never lived in Denver.
At the half:
Minnesota has 22 made field goals, 19 assists
Denver has 22 made field goals, 18 assists
Denver shot 12 of 18 in the 1st, 6 of 9 from 3
Minnesota shot 14 of 20 in the 2nd, 6 of 9 from 3
Blue Arrow!!! 🏹🏹🏹🔥🔥🔥
Jamal Murray drills in the half-court buzzer-beating 3-pointer to tie the game up for the #Nuggets going into halftime

The Reid/Randle combo helped Minnesota come back. Can't forget the type of shots Denver can generate against them. Jokic/Murray P&R gets a drop, Reid rotates to Jokic rolling, easy skip to Braun for a look from 3.
Flipped script from game one where Wolves were up ten after one and Denver came back to tie. This time the gaps were 14, 39-25 Denver and then 39-25 Wolves. Ant and Randle have a combined 38; Murray and Hardaway a combined 37
Jamal Murray's half-court buzzer beater caps off a an 8-point run for the Nuggets to end the first half.
(oh wait this is the wrong video... OF THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING In 2024)
Nuggets let Timberwolves back in the game. Just like that. One quarter.
the nuggets have had like 5 or 6 insanely good vibes plays this half and yet it's still tied at the half. one of the weirdest halves of basketball i can remember.
Oh so this is going to be one of those Denver/Minnesota games.
Three straight four-point plays for the Nuggets and out come the Sizzlin’ Seniors who are DIALED IN for moments just like these
Fire Weather Warning issued for Denver and most of eastern Colorado for Wednesday.
Strongest winds/highest fire concern will be SE Colorado, but Denver/NE Colorado 40-50 mph gusts = rapid fire spread potential as well.
Be smart on Wednesday in particular, Colorado.

AG dunk. Nuggets take their largest lead at 16 just before the end of the first
Nuggets on pace for basically 160 points, and Jokić has two (2).
THJ just gifted us a beautiful few minutes #nuggets
I expect some real bangers in the nba playoffs this year but round one is, with a couple exceptions, kinda butt
denver/okc or denver/san antonio? sign me up! denver/minnesota? well...
THJ is a now stamped as a Nuggets legend
Denver poking at Minnesota's defense. Braun hits Jokic and cuts off. Gobert goes drop to late switch. Puts Edwards on Jokic. Murray cuts to the right wing to be one pass away. As soon as Dosunmu helps, Jokic gets it right to Murray for 3.
