-15 at halftime despite CP3 not playing, Jokic is in triple-double mode, and Murray is in bubble mode!?

When the ref's let them play it's a different game

Only two Suns scored more than 7 points but no blowout win!? Actually, we loss! Malone should be warned that Budenholzer is free.

It was a good effort by the Good Guys, didn't care for Murray taking 29 shots. They never gave up. Malone let the 4th qtr start off the wrong way with those two misses by Jamal, but we kept our composure throughout the game. Don't understand why MPJ doesn't take it to the rim when he's got a smaller guy on him, guess he needs to work on his handles this offseason. Booker hitting 80% of his shots really doesn't seem sustainable, just gotta double him instead of KD

One more to play in PHX, we'll get them next time

Booker, KD & Ayton combined for 90 points while rest team just 31 points.

To imply Ayton is part of a Big 3 is a joke, they sat him for Landsdale. Ayton had FOUR pts, the refs got more points for PHX than he did, they kept KD in the game...enjoy your win, Booker was amazing but I don't think he'll be shooting 80% from the field for much longer

Yeah, I was kidding around about Ayton. All we seem to have going for us is Booker and KD even though KD has struggled to hit shots he at least gets to the ft line. Usually it’s the other way around our fans complain about the refs but last night Nuggets fans were more upset. Btw, you have nothing to worry about this isn’t our season I know Denver has better chemistry and will likely win in 5 or 6 games. It just felt great to finally win a game and not get swept. Have a good weekend. :)

Yeah, can't say I am worried about losing the series or even about the loss last nite, it feels inevitable to me. The refs were very bothersome to me, seems they just wanted to extend this series for the NBA's marketing and $$$. Any organization that's willing to risk the integrity of it's own product for those reasons is just pathetic...and I do love my Nuggets, we've earned a fair shot at a title, let us have our shot.

Yeah, won’t be the first time the league & refs deciding to extend a series. More games = more money. I’m just glad there were no injuries last night and hope to at least watch 6 solid NBA games. Good luck rest of playoffs maybe this year Nuggets will finally reach the finals.

So betting we're coming out swinging Sunday, now seems like a swing game that became very important. Can't see Booker and KD (w/o ref help) pulling on another 86 point performance, do hope the squad takes notice and regains focus,
