Beating b2b Suns and Kings on their soil, both a TOP4 seed on West last season, would be great. Still is unknown will Murrey and Gordon play.

A terrible 20-40 2nd quarter (1st half of the 2nd quarter actually) will probably cost us this game.

Nuggets won 1st, 3rd, and 4th with a 4+ points margin each, losing only 2nd, but this is not tennis nor volleyball, so we lost. We started 2nd quarter with 4-21 and you will lose over 90% of the games vs strong opponents with such a bad sequence.

But credit to the guys for a great fight till the end despite -14 at halftime. Jokic stays in MVP-monster mode, but we shot threes under 25% (6-25) and one single Kings bench player (Monk) scored more points than all our 2nd unit (26 vs 22).

Bench couldn’t make a shot in that 2nd, like they took the B2B game off, truly disappointing. Seems when it looks like the young guys look like they’re gaining momentum, we realize they’re reading their press clippings (although what’s DAJ’s excuse, he was inept the whole game)
