The Denver Nuggets had a win within their grasp in Game 2 but allowed it to slip away. A 19-point lead disappeared as the Nuggets were outworked and outplayed for the rest of the game. Nikola Jokic was far from his best self, and the Nuggets didn’t get enough offense in the fourth quarter to keep up with a Timberwolves squad that shot the ball better than Game 1, just like the Nuggets.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets 119-114 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in which Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray ran out of gas and couldn’t close out the game. The Nuggets got up big in the first quarter, but that set up the downfall in a major way. Ryan discusses the game flow, Jokic’s poor outing, and why to expect a long series going forward.
