Jokic 0-4 to start. I thought he had 3 turnovers but box score only has him with 1. He had the 3sec call. Another one where he drived and fumbled the ball out of bounds. That is two at least. Anyway.

Not a good sign. Both Jokic and J Murray struggling. MPJ forcing the issue. Team looks nervous.

Denver not looking so good so far. 

I didn’t watch much of the LAL series - was this somewhat the pattern, Denver falls behind and then gets it together?

Minn looking tough here in the first.  Their downfall will be foul trouble w/ Kat or Ant if it happens.

It was exactly the patter.  LA got leads in almost every game, only to get smoked in the second half.

Offensive foul by Jokic. No call.

Minny’s defense matches up almost perfectly against Denver’s offense given how little they use the three point shot.

The question - as we’re seeing right now in this run - is if Minny’s offense can score enough to take advantage of the stops they get.

Minn 18 to 4 lead turned into 18 to 15 pretty fast.  This will be a good series.

It's kind of funny that every single game this postseason the Nuggets have started poorly. But they always quickly come back and then take over in the 2nd half, but the Wolves are not the Lakers. We'll see if they can keep it up this series.

I do think the Finals team from the West comes from this series.

21 to 3 run in just 4:30 game time. Wow.

Big lineup by Minny

G: NAW
G: Ant
F: Slow Mo
F: Naz Reid
C: Towns

NAW at PG makes them very big in the backcourt. A 6-5 long PG alongside a big two guard in Ant. Twin towers up front. Kyle Anderson at a long 6-9 at SF.

I wonder if Monte Morris will see his minutes reduced in this series to avoid Jokic and/or Jamal Murray picking on him.

Denver turned it around completely after that timeout.

Nice contest by MPJ. Amazed Kyle Anderson got that through.

Looks like Gordon aims to get in KATs head.
