This is a garbage Fox sports take

It's not even good enough to be called garbage.

This loss is completely on Malone. How tf do you play Joker every minute of the game with his body? Ya'll were up like 18 and he should have rested then. By the time he realized the lead was gone he couldn't afford to rest Joker anymore.

Howl for your Wolves, Minnesota: you're back in the conference finals!

Anthony-Town's recovery dunk was NBA Jam-like. Best recover ever.

Why does Murray look smaller than Edwards on the court but they are the same size?

I know a 20 point lead isn't what it used to be but damn, Denver really blew a 20 point lead at home in a Game 7. All with Minnesota's best player paying tribute to Kobe's iconic 6-24 shooting.

This postseason by Jokic is head and shoulders above any postseason Embiid has ever had. Just so you know.

KAT with a career defining game. Really earned my respect tonight. He’s still corny and I’ll still make fun of him for it, but I won’t forget tonight that’s for sure.

As someone who has seen Denver eliminate their team twice in a row, I think the biggest credit to give imo was how KAT was able to defend Jokic, specially that big third quarter.

Really spearheaded that comeback and made Jokic work for everything. Forcing him into fadeaways and let his team play straight up more often than with other guys on Jokic.

Big big congrats to the Wolves.

They were built for this.

And now they believe.

Nuggets need more balanced firepower. The youth is not just coming but here.

Different hunt when you are the underdog vs. the prey.
