Add Nuggets, Wolves To Conference Semifinals Lore

The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

High scoring game at 78-78 at the half. Nuggs need to defend that 3pt line better but were in it to win it.

78-78 on halftime with insane offensive efficiency from both teams. But in the 3rd both teams started to miss their shots and played defense more seriously. Thanks to the 12-0 run at the end of the 3rd Denver leads. Embiid has better numbers than Jokic today but Joker already in the 3rd quarter achieved a career-high 11 offensive rebounds.

Anti-climax in the middle of the 4th, turnover after turnover. But good game in general, despite the loss.

What a great game to watch. Two of the best bigs to ever play, both putting up historical numbers. We gotta stop putting these guys down, they are both going to be all timers and it's great to see big men taking the league back. Joker played great on the O boards and Embiid was a scoring machine. I would enjoy a 7 game series between these two teams for sure. See you guys in a couple of weeks. Broncos Country!
