Naz Reid just got a STANDING OVATION when entering the game. That is incredible.

6 of Minnesota's first 7 shots are three-pointers, while the Nuggets have attempted just 2 so far.

Denver's had to settle for some tough shots early on. When they get all the way to the rim or take a three, they're generally better off.

A lot more fouls called early on vs both teams. Wolves fans aren't happy, and after watching Game 2, I can understand why.

The first basket for the Nuggets.

Alright Nuggets fans, it's time for Game 3 of the second round against the Timberwolves.

Will the Nuggets offer up some fight? Can they turn this series around?

Let's Basketball.

Wolves in 4 chants are pretty strong.

T’Wolves fans don’t like Jamal Murray.

Uh oh Hardwood Paroxysm it’s Joever

The NBA and the Timberwolves honored Karl-Anthony Towns for winning the NBA’s Social Justice award, which included a message from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

It’s real loud in here.

T’Wolves fans are great. This is gonna be a wild building.

Thanks to the Timberwolves for always doing a great job taking care of road media.

We are about 35 minutes away from tip. The Timberwolves are currently shaming fans for not wearing the white shirts, which are pretty dope.

Michael Malone on his confidence that the team can respond in game 3:

'I will be the first to admit, Game 2, that's the first time I've ever seen that from our group, ever, and I think that's why it was such a surprise to many people that have come to respect and believe…

Full quote:

'We've had some very good meetings, great practice, positive film sessions, and some real film sessions.

Coaching isn't cuddling. Coaching is accountability. Coaching is showing guys this is why we're losing. That's my job as a coach, and then the players' job is…

Michael Malone:

“Coaching isn’t cuddling.”

Michael Malone on the gap from Monday to Friday in Games 2 and 3:

“I wish we would have played Tuesday.”

Chris Finch on expectations on how the Nuggets will approach Game 3:

“We’re going to get a championship level performance from Denver tonight, so we’ve gotta be ready.”

Chris Finch on Minnesota’s strategy guarding Nikola Jokic, says that Minnesota tries to fight him for every square inch of space on the floor.

“If he’s allowed to be comfortable, he’s going to pick you apart.”

We will hear from Chris Finch and Michael Malone shortly. I’m very curious to see what the approaches are in what has mostly been an emotional battle vs a tactical one.

NEW from a hotel room in Minneapolis:

Tonight is the moment. The Nuggets must show their championship mettle.

'Never has three days off between games ever been so needed or valuable.'
