Great close to this quarter for Nuggets.

Yeah they calmly erased the gap

 

[Manster7588]

Already did this joke ^^^

But it was still funny.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

The zeller minutes are unnecessary

Why is hightower not getting them? I'm truly wondering.
Highsomethingorother.

 

[bksballer89]

Highsmith/Love should be the backup 5

 

[fightinfunbags]

Big change came when Lowry came in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

How the hell is Denver only down 3 after the 1st qtr when they've played so terribly?

 

[tlance]

The problem with love on Jokic outside of the obvious is you get to expose his bad defense on screens. Put him on Gordon and he isn't exposed much

Well…

They can still use Gordon to set ball screens.

Mike Malone is pretty good at finding ways to exploit matchups.

Yup

Ruh roh...Butler has to rest but look what happens

He didn't do that in the first but i think Miami would absolutely love it if they went to Murray/Gordon 2 man game instead of Murray/Jokic simply because Kevin Love is in the game

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Game of adjustments.
Nugs have made them.
Jokic getting a nice rest too.

Gotta get it down to 5-6 by the half

 

[Duffman]

Super disappointed in Denver, they were up by 15 just a few minutes ago with a chance to keep a good distance before halftime and yet they’ve pretty much squandered it away.

 

[broncosmitty]

That’s absurd.

 

[Duffman]

Up by 6 at the half is not good enough for a team that dominated the first 9 minutes of that quarter.

It's almost like Miami is a quality opponent

 

[bksballer89]

17 down at half in game 1
Down 6 tonight

Steps to success as Giannis would say

 

[msgkings322]

Mission accomplished, Miami still in it. Good work by them not letting Denver run away with it when they opened up the big lead.

Yep, it was Miami’s turn to close the quarter.
