Fun game. Ant has been a beast this postseason. Would be huge if Minny could steal this

Feels like Jokic hasn't played well and still has 24/8/7. Crazy

Good read by Gobert to deflect the lob pass to A Gordon.

Just a different offense without Murray spreading the floor. Minnesota got this it looks like.

Jokic looks tired and frustrated.

It's interesting thinking of this Denver offense versus our offense and how each fares against this elite Minny defense.

You have to think our much more perimeter/three-oriented offense is better suited going up against this Minny defense than Denver's offense that is much less focused on the perimeter and three point shots. In a lot of ways, while they have an efficient offense with lots of ball and player movement, Denver's offense plays into Minny's hands by getting a lot of offense right at the rim where they're strongest with rim protection.

Denver's defense giving all sorts of lanes to the rim. If Minny had been a bit smarter with their fouls this would have been a blowout. Their length is giving the Nuggets problems.

Ha you can tell this has been a bit of a wake up call for Jokic, as now he's put his scoring into another gear knowing that the others aren't getting it done.

As others have mentioned, Denver's bench this year is awful. Didn't hurt them in the first round but it will this round + Murray being hurt doesn't help.

Wooowwww, so much for the Nuggets out-executing every team down the stretch. Minny looked like the more poised team on both ends tonight, even down the stretch.
