Inside the NBA reacts to Nuggets vs Timberwolves Game 4 Highlights

Man, we have a job today playing the fourth Joker

game

and the Nuggets lost the first two instead. Cat and the Timberwolves lost the third

game

instead and won many trophies. Yes, that's Michley and Rudy joining Nas Reed, who got the other one. night Anthony Edwards is going to work this guy needs a trophy what trophy would you give him oo just a bad man Bad Man Trophy the bad man is going to yell at Harry Douglas that's a bad man good start for Minnesota and then a 14 to 2 run that he's bad, he's a really bad man, just oh look, he takes his time, he takes him down, he honks, this guy he's on, he's turning it on right now and that was after Jaden McDaniels choked him with it , uh, with that.

Don't come, don't come here, no, don't come, no, why do you leave the dolls open? Look at this dunk, yeah, that's a 41, look like DeAndre Jordan on that one, hey, they come out, come on man, come on, someone give this man some. help, they reduced it, but that was to seven points, then that made nine Ernie well, kcp hit a three instead and then this from Jamal Murray how many lose by Ernie 12 and then it got to 15 no, how many lose by uh they lost by eight 115 107 eight points in a row there at the end of the first half those eight points will turn out to be huge uh yeah what's bigger than huge uh Grand Canyon Kevin H retired his jersey yeah you know it was his first playby play that was the big ticket Kevin is awesome Murray saw it at the time and it's a 90 75 game that's sweet you gotta go slow I could see that in slow motion Joker they put up a hand what a hand three put up a hand when you don't know no one's around . to raise your hand, I guess they didn't get the part and said he was the MVP, oh my gosh, with the dunk, they're trying to stay close to the 10 point game, man who got it right, who did it like twice in a row Get out, go bear, yeah, that's a foul, he's the one who did that money thing, come on man, what are you doing brother?

And that was an easy look at why you keep doubling down from the basket dummies. I'm going to do that money thing, that's why I do that. The money thing again Edwards Minnesota desperately trying to hold on, they cut it to seven and then there's Joker again and the Denver Nuggets after those two home games, losing both and then they go back to Minnesota and do what champions do. beat them both 115 107 that's your final score uh here's Chris Finch after the game Chris they had a lot of success offensively getting what they wanted what's missing right now with the defensive execution yeah I mean just being able to hit the ball you know what comes through these screens in Separation um, you know, guys, they're in a comfortable rhythm, so we have to change some things and try to, you know, keep them from getting their engine was revving so high right now that it seemed the end of the second quarter, but there was a setback, what did you see what kind of happened?

Yeah, you just know this is a great team that they're not going to beat. they themselves um we talked about it at the beginning of the series we know that we can't have us it's inexcusable to have a segment like that where they have like eight points in 7 seconds or something like that, whatever it was um to close the quarter when we had done good job getting back into the game um and then you know we also fell asleep on the long pass to braa you know these are unforgivable plays that you can't make right now and um I thought in general um you know offensively in particular uh we lost our composure kinda um we just rushed things up there chasing the ball and our spacing and our structure collapsed as a result, so Chris, when the starters are out there, They're sinking a lot in front of Jaden.

They're not really paying much attention to Rudy in the role. What's the solution to trusting those guys? Is it doing different things with them to make them pay? I guess because of all the defensive slack. Yeah, I think we always trust our guys so we have to keep making the right play that's in front of us and then those guys have to keep making the right play when it's made to them, but you know, we've had uh, a lot of success with that, you know, I didn't think that kind of stuff bothered us that much, you know, when we actually got the ball was what we did, you know what we did, um, you know, we couldn't write. of moving the ball cleanly through our hands because you know everyone was trying to do something with it and we have to pass it again and move it again, what do you think was the most important thing that contributed a lot to Carl? to unravel that in that game um and you didn't see any of those plays in the

highlights

, but Reggie Jackson Christian Brown Justin Holiday combined for 27 points off the bench for the Dendam Nuggets, they won the bench 2713 points off turnovers 20 - 13 uh, just part of the reason why Denver beats Minnesota and ties the series at two, yeah, they're just back on the same page, you know, led by The Joker and led by Jamal Murray, you know, champions, you gotta do it .

He really kept them, you know, at home, uh, bad game, one got embarrassed in game two and that kind of woke them up, you know, Reggie said it was probably the best thing that could happen to him because now they're awake and you know they're playing. like they're awake and they're playing well, everyone's playing well and Minnesota just has to try to get back to the same defensive intensity for 48 minutes like they did in the second game, but now Denver knows what's at stake and they know what they've got. to do so Minnesota wants you to know stay here they're definitely going to have to win the next game which is going to be tough because the champions are back and it's hard to beat the champions yeah.

I think you know basketball is so simple, the Joker Murray and Gordon, they didn't play well in games one and two, and now they're in all their glory and the Minnesota guys aren't playing well, you know, car cities. he didn't play well again Nas Reed isn't playing he played very well again, you know, you talk about strategy and all those other things that are always very good, but at some point it's so simple that you just have to play well. Jamal Aaron and the Joker have played. fantastic the last two games that's the difference in the game uh Minnesota, you saw that game tonight, other than nobody played well and uh, you can talk a lot about Champions and all the other things, no, this team beat the Champs two times because they played well, they played well in Min, excuse me in Denver, but they didn't play well in the last two games.

I don't know if they're young guys with no experience, but the Nuggets went in there and just executed it, yeah, if Minnesota, there's one thing you have to believe, you're still close, like you can't think that you're not close to winning these games. For me, I always thought that the beginning and the end of the quarters are the most important parts of the game um I have always been taught and learned that the last two minutes of each quarter are what create the momentum, the first two minutes of the moment start the momentum, so the execution is where the inexperience comes in, um knowing you know what this is The Possession where I Can't throw a pass, meaning a 50-50 ball.

I'll make sure it gets there. You know what I'm going to make sure of. You know what I'm going to make sure of. Ant-. The man touches the ball in the middle of the court, maybe not on the baseline, so those types of things that are things that drive you and that's what Denver has not only played well, but that's what they do now at the end of the quarter. Joker is we are going to touch the ball at the right time or we are going to pass it to Aaron Gordon on the right, everyone touches it at the right time for me and for me it is just experience in the final stretch, but for me this game is lost. right before the half because they had played everything in the first half but they had brought it down to 10 seven seven oh yeah yeah but they still went up to 10 yeah so they brought it down to seven and then he made this shot but now you're like to yourself that if we get the last shot, this is execution, if we get the last shot, we will be reduced to 10 and a half times.

Look, you shouldn't even make the move before seven, yeah, you will. not even make a move, think about how bad they play, the coach would be saying we're only down 10, okay, now you're down, if you make a basket, you're down eight, but when you dunk and then this half, I said. man, this is a big difference when you're playing and look, look how the dev

nuggets

act, look how they are, uhoh, because you know what we were talking about, me and you, those moments are so rare, just the moment. Right there Jamal Murray would hit a bucket three feet away from Kevin Harand, who's calling him right there and Murray's watching him say it, I mean, it was and then they're face to face, yeah, but it was like a moment for me. .

At first it was just great, but you know, the coaches said Anthony had the ball with 15 seconds left, guys, we played horrible, but we were only down 10 and five, seven seconds later, you're down 15 and the

nuggets

. They're going crazy and that was the game and we're saying at halftime those eight points right there in those last 20 seconds that could be a big pot, they won by eight 115 to 107 and the series is tied at two games. one piece Chuck wants Tree and Flag Day off, consider it done Chu, you're leaving on Arbor Day, okay, shout out to the big guy, uh, what's that?

What you're saying is that Bobby ran away, wow, Bobby, hey, I love it, Bobby, he's better than
