After a 3-2 lead in the playoff series, we lost the next 5 games vs Minnesota! Time for revenge.

Ouch... but still, big credit to Jokic for an epic game even by his standards (+AG and Braun).

Denver should have won.

Westbrook didn't need to shoot with 7 seconds on the clock after his steal since Denver was up one. Should have played keep away and waited for a Nugget to go to the Free Throw Line. It pays to know the score.

But even before Westbrook's blunder, at the end of regulation and during both OT's; Denver was very effective inside, not so effective from 3, although Denver kept opting for 3's. I think Mike Malone should have focused on MORE closer to the basket shots the last few minutes of regulation and the 1rst OT and you would have come out with a win. Didn't like your play calling down the stretch. For example, when Denver missed 3 3's in a row, if instead Denver had shot three 2's, Denver might have made one and that could have resulted in a win.
