Murray nutmeg into a Jokic floater was so beautiful. Then the Jokic alleyoop to Gordon was the dagger

So in one game they went from having to blow it up to being on a glide path to the title?

Heart of a champion, had to know Denver wouldn’t go down like chumps. No one expected them to punch back like this.

What a bunch of bitches that came out for Minnesota today. Nuggets straight up owned them. It was so obvious that it was going to happen as well. Thats whyi bet Nuggets to win Easiest **** money ever made.

Honestly, where was this team all playoffs? Even though they beat the Lakers in 5, they were losing majority of those games. This is the first time all playoffs they looked like themselves

Now Jokic is at 50% too.

Minnesota playing bad offense tonight. Trying to cut the lead by playing one-on-one.

This is a great response by Denver which I knew they had in them, but the refs really aren't making this fun to watch either. I think Denver would have won anyway without doing this.

Feel sorry for the pre-pumped TWolves fans, have to be so quite during the entire game. Wish they switch game 2 and 3 so both home court crowd could celebrate

Depends what adjustments Wolves come up next game. They're still up 2-1. If they shoot the lights out in Game 4 there's nothing Denver can do.


If Denver can keep this momentum into game 4, it's over. They're known to play like this consistent after they've found it.
