High quality and close game in 1st quarter as expected. What I don't like is the 7-12 rebounding stats so far

Nice +8 lead at halftime, but must say achieved in an unexpected way. Our bench and free throws (number and percentage both) used to be our weakness but in 1st half Braun, Holiday, and Watson had +10 in the +/- column while the team was 14-14 from FT. Of course, Jokic being Jokic is helpful too.

Nuggs playing a very balanced game tonight. PWat stepping up for the bench while starting 5 being the IT, fighting off all comeback attempts. Tatum shrinks in the big moments

Definitely need to tighten up on the 3-pt defense, especially in the last 3mins. Still, a win is a win and a sweep is a sweep. Held Tatum 13pts below his avg....The TRUE Power is in the West !

Great win vs our arguable top 2024 opponent in the league.

30+ triple-double for Jokic but I'm still with the claim that bench (26/DEN vs 10/BOS) and free throws (21-22/DEN vs 16-25/BOS) were key today.

Brown played well but really didn't see anything that would scare me in a 7-game Finals matchup
