This is a case of one team playing completely focused and the other team thinking we're gonna win by showing up.

Sheeshhh this one looks like it's over already. Nuggets are back to excellence of execution tonight. Major confidence booster for them too. We might have a series on our hands.

:nonono: Marc Jones.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Guess it's another Denver title. I don't see anyone beating THIS version of the Nuggets.

If Aaron Gordon consistently drains threes, Minnesota is cooked for the series. His ability to make threes entirely unravels Minnesota’s offense.

Why does Ant hoist up 3s when he can get to the rim at will?

Also Murray is cooking McDaniels tonight. Complete script flip from game one and two.

What’s the saying… the series doesn’t start until wins at home? Lol

We were ready to dance on Jamal Murray’s grave but the Wolves offense said hold my beer

The Wolves shot lights out in the 1st round but all season long they were a pretty bad offensive team.

Seems like them falling back to their normal shooting efficiency and not being allowed to manhandle their opponent has made them fall back down to earth.

McDaniels and Conley were shooting lights out versus Phoenix and in this game they are stinking it up.

Nuggets making threes tonight. If Wolves can't put a run together to get this to 12 before the 4th, they might as well start prepping for Game 4.

This is why I take issue with the refs calling junk to start the game. This is a game of runs. I wanted to watch the Nuggets run up the court, whip the ball 4x and find the open man for 3 an hour ago. Now? I just wanna get a burrito.

So crazy how different this team is when Jokic + MPJ aren't the only players hitting shots. Can't defend them when everyone is getting it on.

Reports of the Nuggets's deaths were greatly exaggerated

What team that's left has a real homecourt advantage? The Knicks? The Cavs?
