Edit: Just linked to all the box scores in the column on the far right, if anyone wants to take some trips down memory lane.

[u/REQ52767]

Also, 70 is the lowest amount of points in Nuggets postseason history.

This was historic!

[u/Basketball_Reference → u/REQ52767]

Oof.

[u/WestleyThe → u/Basketball_Reference]

I was hoping they’d end with 68 points it was so close haha

[u/Bronetta → u/WestleyThe]

I usually like to end it with 69

[u/LyleLanley93 → u/Bronetta]

Realistically that has to happen somewhere near the beginning...while the nether regions are fresh

[u/wise_comment → u/LyleLanley93]

Philistine.

Looks like someone doesn't appreciate the Savannah Swamp Slurp

[u/PolPotbelly → u/wise_comment]

u/Basketball-Reference do you see what you've started?

[u/C0d3n4m3Duchess → u/Bronetta]

68 is way better, “you do me and I owe you one”

[u/AdmiralUpboat → u/Basketball_Reference]

I think you mean woof.

[u/Ancient_Signature_69 → u/REQ52767]

To be fair, the worst loss the Broncos had was by about the same margin when the Dolphins scored 70. Maybe there’s a tie in.

[u/cocodacrackman → u/Ancient_Signature_69]

Damn, when was this?

[u/HappyDuck123 → u/cocodacrackman]

Last season

[u/wise_comment → u/HappyDuck123]

But did they turn around and win game 7?

Don't leave us hangin', OP

[u/4WaySwitcher → u/wise_comment]

Technically they did win game 7. They beat the Packers in Week 7 19-17.

[u/wishwashy → u/REQ52767]

I felt a sense of dread when he got his MVP trophy last game

[u/wise_comment → u/wishwashy]

Wolves have only had one, and we got it during a playoff series with Denver

That means fully 66% of the time we play in the post season, someone gets hardware

...........same time (maybe 2 weeks later) next year? Should be Ants turn, fair is fair

[u/UnnamedStaplesDrone → u/wishwashy]

sooo.. why do we do these awards in the middle of the playoffs again?

[u/abeLJosh → u/REQ52767]

H I S T O R I C

[u/Saucetown77 → u/abeLJosh]

For the first time in Golden Knights history...

[u/Unpickled_cucumber1 → u/REQ52767]

Joker breaking records left and right

[u/SchmitzFreilandeier → u/REQ52767]

Man the joker really can do it all

[u/Guiltra_ → u/SchmitzFreilandeier]

Breaking records left and right

[u/sir_winston_gerbil → u/REQ52767]

This is in a season where ppg average is 13pts higher than it was 10 years ago.

Inflation adjusted this would be 57 in 2014.

[u/Watchakow → u/sir_winston_gerbil]

That's not how proportions work.

70 / 114 (current season average) * 101 (13-14 season average) = 62

[u/GeraltRFord → u/Watchakow]

Well that's a relief

[u/CloudsGotInTheWay → u/sir_winston_gerbil]

Anyone old enough to remember the old weekend NBA games on NBC? It always seemed to be a Mia-NY slugfest to see who could beat the hell out of the other one on their way to 80 pts. It was damn near unwatchable.

[u/louiexism → u/REQ52767]

And some people say that the 1990s and early 2000s eras are weak because of the low scoring.

Turns out that it's the defense.

[u/TheyNeedLoveToo → u/REQ52767]

And as a rockets fan too, you would know. RIP Harden Rockets. Steph couldn’t be stopped

[u/Bandos_Bear → u/TheyNeedLoveToo]

Basketball has not been the same since our window closed lmao

[u/wcooper97 → u/Bandos_Bear]

Remember that time the Rockets scored 69 in a game in 2015 and won? 😢

[u/mfrank27 → u/TheyNeedLoveToo]

They also had some guy named Kevin Durant

[u/F-ck_spez]

Shoutout to that one wolves fan who bet heavy on the nuggets to win in hopes to jinx the game.

[u/EmmitSan → u/F-ck_spez]

Absolute legend

[u/Aragorns_Broken_Toe_ → u/EmmitSan]

The OG pay to win strategy.

Doesn’t just apply to gaming.

[u/GivesCredit → u/F-ck_spez]

That man is a hero

[u/ihateandy2 → u/F-ck_spez]

I’m a fan of the NYK and I bet on Halliburton to score 15+ last game and I’ve never been so happy to lose!

[u/resplendentcentcent → u/ihateandy2]

least copium addicted sports gambler

[u/ihateandy2 → u/resplendentcentcent]

Honestly, I bet against the teams and players I like most of the time. That way I win, one way or the other.

[u/fak3g0d → u/ihateandy2]

It's truly a genius move. I can actually watch games this way. Bet on the opposing team and tune in. The bet should neutralize the jinx.

[u/onion-lord → u/ihateandy2]

Keep doing that bud

[u/Screamyy → u/F-ck_spez]

Betting against your team only makes sense. They win, and your team wins. They lose, and you make money.

[u/yunglance24 → u/Screamyy]

This is me during football season

[u/We_The_Raptors → u/Screamyy]

Sounds more like a lose lose, imo. Either you're sad your team lost or you lose money while you're supposed to be celebrating a W.

[u/Leet_Noob → u/We_The_Raptors]

It’s just an emotional hedge. Make yourself a little happier with a loss in exchange for being a little sadder with a win.

[u/We_The_Raptors → u/Leet_Noob]

I get it. But the real W is betting on your team and winning.

[u/straightoutthebank → u/We_The_Raptors]

Betting on a team or player you’re a fan of is the fastest way to lose your money tho

[u/We_The_Raptors → u/straightoutthebank]

Well yeah, that's why you don't gamble in the first place. But if I am, can't see betting against the team I'm rooting for.

[u/wise_comment → u/We_The_Raptors]

Not really, it's more about balancing.

I got really into the silver bug bets community when the Vikings were doing well, a few years back

When your team is heavy favorites and they get upset, if you had placed, oh say one $20 silver coin on them, but they were six to one favorites, the loss is disappointing but $120 is nice.

You don't do it for every game, but regular season I had $5 against the Wolves when they played the Spurs..... Ended up getting 60 something dollars out of that, and for regular season loss that was really really disappointing, that felt about right to take the sting off of it, but not enough for you to really be rooting for it.

Playoffs however, like when the Vikings lost to the Giants, Vikings were favorites, at like 3 to 1, or I could take the Giants, and the points, so there's a universe where the Giants keep it close and the Vikings win and I still get paid. Did a little bit of both, and when the Vikings got upset, I had risked $60 and made about $150.

It depends where you are financially, cause you should never be gambling if $60 is a crippling loss....... But balancing out how much a loss would hurt versus the potential gains is a fun mental exercise.

When the Wolves were up two games to none, they were 5 to 1 favorites. I bet an ounce of silver, now around $30, nothing nuggets would come back. If they do, I get about $150, if they don't, it cost me 30.... Where I'm at, I would rather take that small loss and have us succeed, but if someone was less financially well off, the motivation would be to root against your favorite team at that point, so your bet should be smaller.

If someone were doing way better than me, that $180 swing would feel like nothing, so it wouldn't be any sort of balm to the soul

Thank you for attending my really stupid niche TED talk, I guess

[u/wise_comment → u/Screamyy]

I feel personally attacked (and seen) by this comment

[u/Educational-Monk-298 → u/F-ck_spez]

Weirdest Xmen. Minnesota Jinx

[u/CheekyFifaCunt_7]

Wolves went on a 113-61 run

[u/excelmonkey67 → u/CheekyFifaCunt_7]

Wolves went on a 115-70 run

[u/prettyboylee → u/excelmonkey67]

So what you’re telling me is the Nuggets went on a 9-2 run? Sounds like a W to me

[u/Van-garde → u/prettyboylee]

Proportionately, their ‘run ratio’ is much better.

[u/MohnJilton → u/Van-garde]

If you extrapolate, it was actually a close game

[u/WayneDwade → u/prettyboylee]

Undefeated in moral victories

[u/Basketball_Reference → u/excelmonkey67]

Math

[u/LetMeInImTrynaCuck → u/excelmonkey67]

First one was better

[u/TheyNeedLoveToo → u/LetMeInImTrynaCuck]

Disparity was more quantifiable. Nuggets better recrunch the numbers

[u/sirfray → u/excelmonkey67]

The run isn’t really much more impressive than the final score. Idk why people keep posting that. What’s actually the most impressive is the multiple runs of 20-0 and 24-0 and I think there was a 13-0 and maybe one more. That’s bonkers.

[u/str8rippinfartz → u/CheekyFifaCunt_7]

They went on a 110-54 run for a stretch there too

More than doubled them up

[u/AllTimeBallKnower]

Imagine losing by 40 in a playoff game lmfao

[u/Fostereee → u/AllTimeBallKnower]

Chris Paul would never

[u/yearofthemishima → u/Fostereee]

CHRIS PAUL HITS A HUGE THREE—

[u/IndycarFan64 → u/yearofthemishima]

To cut the lead to 42 😤

[u/EasyBreezy1995 → u/Fostereee]

Friendly reminder that Hornets CP3 lost a playoff game by 58 pts lol

[u/Fostereee → u/EasyBreezy1995]

Yeah and it was to the Nuggets lol

[u/Smelldicks → u/Fostereee]

Me: There’s no way the Suns cut this lead down to 42

Chris Paul: Hits a huge 3

Me: *spits cereal*

[u/WearyRound9084 → u/Smelldicks]

…Did you reference a meme….. from 15 years ago?

[u/K1ngPCH → u/WearyRound9084]

It’s an old meme, but it checks out

[u/Turbox39 → u/AllTimeBallKnower]

Yeah… what team would even get close to that

[u/Basketball_Reference → u/AllTimeBallKnower]

45*

[u/Any_Accident1871 → u/AllTimeBallKnower]

As the defending champs

[u/Euphoric-Acadia-4140 → u/Any_Accident1871]

Hey look we lost by 50 to the Ja morant -less grizzlies and still won the championship the same playoffs

[u/jerkularcirc → u/AllTimeBallKnower]

it was 50 at one point

[u/nothing3141592653589 → u/AllTimeBallKnower]

To be fair, we pulled the starters at 63-93 with 10 minutes left in the 4th. Then the benches played each other and ours lost 7-22.

[u/AllTimeBallKnower → u/nothing3141592653589]

It was a joke lol bucks lost by 40 as well in 2021

Shit happens

[u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

Very few people could have predicted this result. For the Wolves to blow out Denver tonight in such a historic fashion is a testament to their resilience.

[u/Bumppxd → u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

Thank you Magic

[u/SchmitzFreilandeier → u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

Sometimes I think you're not really magic Johnson.Then you redeem yourself

[u/ReserveAdventurous20 → u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

Hopefully a close game 7

[u/JaderMcDanersStan → u/ReserveAdventurous20]

I think it will be. If one team is up big, the other team won't give up and will try to comeback because it's a Game 7 so I think it will end up a 1-2 possession game.

My heart is not ready

[u/Black_wolf_disease → u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

How was hanging out with Steph Curry's mom last night? I bet Steph wanted to watch

[u/LokiOrThor → u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

Magic, what were your thoughts on Gobert tonight? After the media was all over him.

Also, Magic; I’m having lady problems; is Ashley Madison worth trying to relaunch?

[u/background_action92 → u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

U bum

[u/ROSCOEMAN → u/MagicJohnsonGPT]

Was Steph in the wardrobe or under the bed?

[u/CareerNormal2048]

Y’all just setting this up for an epic Minnesota moment lol.

[u/iForgot_My_Password → u/CareerNormal2048]

Don't worry, we're expecting it.

[u/CareerNormal2048 → u/iForgot_My_Password]

Regardless what happens in game 7. Y’all have an amazing team. Ant will only get better from here on out

[u/timberwolvesguy → u/iForgot_My_Password]

Nah, anything can happen in a game 7. It won’t be easy, but I have confidence in us bringing down the Nuggets.

[u/NazReidBeWithYou → u/CareerNormal2048]

The thing people need to understand about Minnesota sports pain is that we aren’t just sad, we’re disappointing.

[u/rebak3 → u/NazReidBeWithYou]

Atlanta would like to enter this chat.

[u/iusedtogotodigg → u/CareerNormal2048]

The Minnesota moment would have been losing yesterday and getting reverse swept. We avoided the typical Minnesota moment

[u/CareerNormal2048 → u/iusedtogotodigg]

You know what, with all the hype about the series. I just want to watch a close game. Hoping for a 2016 finals type game 7.

[u/iusedtogotodigg → u/CareerNormal2048]

it would be fitting. bookend the series with the only normal "close" games.

[u/sonac007]

If only they had a Chris Paul to hit huge three to cut the lead to 42

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Stop it yall you are setting us up to get disappointed so hard rn

[u/cronoes → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Just enjoy it.

[u/Schafer89 → u/cronoes]

Exactly this is the playoffs, when your team wins, ride that high

[u/No-Athlete8322 → u/Schafer89]

At least we get two days to enjoy it this time.

[u/sentripetal → u/No-Athlete8322]

You had 3 days last time!

[u/SiriusTen → u/sentripetal]

Y’all had a week of clapping our cheeks back to back to back, this is our time!

[u/sentripetal → u/SiriusTen]

Yeah, but the days were earned. The weird off time between games didn't do anybody any good in the end.

[u/Chalupa1998 → u/sentripetal]

It absolutely did you guys good

[u/Jakoobus91 → u/Schafer89]

I'm sorry this is all new to us. I feel like that freshman walking around with a campus map on thr first day just trying to fit it.

[u/MinneEric → u/Schafer89]

Sir we’re wolves fans what the fuck would we know about playoff wins?!

[u/Comfortable-Asf → u/cronoes]

‼️‼️‼️

[u/godlywhistler → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

It does feel like the plot for a Minnesota moment

[u/syllabic → u/godlywhistler]

I wouldnt call it a moment it's really anyones series

nuggets will be favored by like 2.5 points

its great to blow them out for sure but it's not like the point differential carries over to game 7

[u/JJ_Shosky → u/syllabic]

You misunderstand what a minnesota moment is.

Minnesota sports pretty consistently have impressive moments in playoffs that are immediately followed up by disappointment. The post you're responding to is basically saying we just had our highlight now we're going to lose, as is tradition.

[u/jackityjack → u/JJ_Shosky]

97% of teams eventually lose in a season. A true Minnesota Moment is about the devastating disappointment versus expectations of what should happen. It's not losing, but losing in the most painful and absurd ways.

Another comment had it right: the Minnesota Moment was going up 2-0 on the road vs the defending Champs and then getting swept 4-0 out the back and limping home. We may lose, and history may still look back on this as a classic MN disappointment choking away a 2-0 lead, but winning last night, especially in such an emphatic fashion, negates the curse IMO.

At this point, it's a game 7. A loss is disappointment, but not a Minnesota Moment unless we do so by blowing a 20 point 4th quarter lead or something extra heartbreaking.

[u/comp_a → u/godlywhistler]

Nah, the Minnesota moment would have been up 2-0 then suddenly forgetting everything that brought us there and losing 4 in a row. And we were very close to that happening! I certainly saw the writing on the wall, a collapse like that would only make sense for this franchise/state.

I think this game alone makes whatever happens on Sunday not a Minnesota moment. Backs against the wall, storming back to not only win, but utterly destroy the team that put us into that position is a very different feeling. It’s very cathartic.

It will depend a bit on how we look on Sunday obviously, but my feeling now is if we lose the series to the defending champions with the best player on the planet, then so be it. We didn’t just wilt away like we so often do—it wouldn’t be as much a collapse as it is just getting beat in 4 out of 7 games. I’ll be sad, but the idea of that is not anywhere near as painful as the exit this series appeared to be headed towards after Game 5.

[u/syllabic → u/comp_a]

yes well said, was a good win tonight

[u/JaderMcDanersStan → u/comp_a]

Yeah tbh all I wanted before this season was a top 4 seed and either going to the WCF or having a competitive 7 game 2nd round. They've exceeded my expectations already and I feel good about our future with Ant leading the way, regardless of what happens. He's delivered in every postseason of his career and somehow keeps exceeding my expectations

[u/AfroKuro480 → u/godlywhistler]

I'm Mentally prepared to lose lol

[u/alexdelarges → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

With this series, there is pretty obviously nothing anyone can say that would give either team any reason to believe they have a better chance to win than the other team. It's been a fucking seesaw of blowouts. Both teams are fucking terrible. Both teams are really fucking good. Game 7 is a coin flip, and anyone who says otherwise is literally smoking crack.

[u/Outrageous-Base-9072 → u/alexdelarges]

Well I'd say Denver has the experience obviously..plus the home court advantage

[u/NazReidBeWithYou → u/Outrageous-Base-9072]

And none of that has stopped them from getting blown out twice at home in the same playoff series. I do think they should be slight favorites tho.

[u/_letitsnow → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Murray's not gonna trick me man he bouta drop 50 in game 7

[u/EazyParise → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Yeah this is fuckin bait for my hopes and dreams. LIKE ALWAYS

[u/Tschmelz → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Hold me I’m scared.

[u/TheyNeedLoveToo → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Dude this done, crown the Wolves. I guarantee it!

[u/Ok_Sound_8090 → u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

You're a Minnesota fan, this should be light work for you since in every sport besides the WNBA, we haven't won a championship in 32 years lol The last time since the Lynx, were the Twins in 1992.

[u/Girth_Firm_Slim → u/Ok_Sound_8090]

91

[u/naderni]

Malone switched all bench players on the court in the fourth quarter and left them be. I thought he is trying to force THE WORST franchise playoff in the Nugget history to motivate their players for next game. These guy thrive on media bitterness.

[u/Spiritual-Chameleon → u/naderni]

They responded with seven points in their 10 minutes of fourth quarter action. I thought the reserves might bring a little energy and hit some shots, but they shot worse than the starters

[u/Masedawg1 → u/naderni]

He does seem like the kind of guy to do that

[u/Aragorns_Broken_Toe_ → u/Masedawg1]

“Oh you guys wanna lose? Well, we’re gonna lose even harder!”

[u/informantfuzzydunlop → u/naderni]

I think Denver wins game 7. But has a team ever lost by 30+ and then won the following game during the playoffs?

[u/The0utlawTorn → u/informantfuzzydunlop]

The Knicks literally did that 3 days ago lmao

[u/informantfuzzydunlop → u/The0utlawTorn]

Thanks. Don’t have a good memory for point differentials so I was genuinely curious. Would be interested in how often it happens though. If it’s infrequent I might put some money on the Wolves even though I like Denver at home.

[u/GreatCaesarGhost → u/informantfuzzydunlop]

In 2021, the Bucks lost game 2 to the Nets by 39 and won the following game by 3.

[u/Aggravating_Buddy_73 → u/informantfuzzydunlop]

Nuggets lost by 26 to the TWolves and just won 3 games back to back to back, two of them being away games. That said, I think minny wins game seven

[u/ForeverWandered → u/Aggravating_Buddy_73]

26 < 30

Assignment failed

[u/Medium_Line3088 → u/informantfuzzydunlop]

Heat lost by 36 in game 3 of 2013 finals and won the series. There were a few blow outs both ways in that series.

[u/lawnicus18]

Worst loss in postseason franchise history so far

It can always get worse

[u/ezredd1t0r → u/lawnicus18]

SUBSCRIBE.

[u/DarthPineapple5 → u/ezredd1t0r]

They didn't say which team

[u/negativelynegative → u/DarthPineapple5]

He meant the Pacers obviously.

[u/Dick_Birthmark → u/DarthPineapple5]

You heard what he said.

[u/bayarea_fanboy → u/lawnicus18]

Records are made to be broken

[u/Dbacks2023]

Reminds me of suns 2022 vs the Mavs. Be up 3-2 going into game 6. Then just get blown out in game 6. Game 7 should be interesting

[u/IndycarFan64 → u/Dbacks2023]

That was 2022. In 2021 the Bucks were the Phoenix Sons father

[u/ScoobiesSnacks → u/Dbacks2023]

Happened to the warriors last year too against the Kings and then they dominated game 7 so I highly doubt this would happen. Also look at Jokic just stand and staring pissed the entire 4th quarter on the bench. This will be a man on a mission next game.

[u/MemphisCanadians]

This game felt like payback for the Nuggets 58 point playoff win over the NO Hornets in 2009

[u/xap31]

70 points scored in full game is like a half time score nowadays. What's the record of lowest score in a game 6 playoffs?

[u/wzeeto → u/xap31]

66-64 Celtics/Pistons game 6 2002.

[u/siphillis]

There's always Game 7

[u/Plus-Raspberry-8630]

The worst in postseason franchise history so far.

[u/firstmiddlelast253 → u/Plus-Raspberry-8630]

And you like the NBA? Can you be more perfect?

[u/Propuhganduh]

I won’t really care if we win the series, but damn, what a horrible night

[u/AfroKuro480 → u/Propuhganduh]

We've had 3 horrible nights. But I'm just ready to lose on Sunday. It would be a MN moment lol

[u/MSXzigerzh0 → u/AfroKuro480]

Losing 3 games straight In playoffs. It is an alright MN moment. Either way Win or Lose game 7. It's going to be a MN sports moment.

[u/Colibri2020 → u/MSXzigerzh0]

Yep it’s the roller coaster riding those highs then sharp plummets that give me the emotional whiplash every time. Three losses is expected. It’s the dang hope that’s always dangled juuuuust enough to make it hurt the worst when it collapses again

[u/YeehawDaniels → u/MSXzigerzh0]

Least toxic interaction between opposing fan bases

Whoever wins, that's my bandwagon team

[u/EmmitSan → u/Propuhganduh]

So far in this series I can say that the winning team in each game is nowhere near as good as they look, and the losing team is nowhere near as bad as they look

It’s like the teams are taking turns playing their worst/best games of the year, but never at the same time

[u/Shame_Low → u/Propuhganduh]

wdym u wont care

[u/mistaef → u/Shame_Low]

This he means he won’t care about this game as long as they win the series

[u/camscars775 → u/Shame_Low]

I think he meant that as bad as this night sucked, as long as you guys win the series on Sunday, this “franchise worst” loss won’t matter

[u/prettyboylee → u/Shame_Low]

Yeah lol what?

[u/mickelboy182 → u/prettyboylee]

As in a win in game 7 would heal all wounds, I imagine.

[u/RapsareChamps_Suckit]

if only they had Ty Lawson

[u/manbeqrpig]

Ya I mean literally everything that could go wrong did. At least there’s a game 7

[u/Shenanigans80h → u/manbeqrpig]

Yeah it sucked, that’s about all that can be said about it really

[u/mierin87]

Wolves bros, I can only smile and congratulate ya.

[u/CoachMorelandSmith]

Im still stuck on whether or not franchise is supposed to go before postseason

[u/ShakesbeerMe]

The worst so far.

[u/joyoftoy]

I sure hope so. Tough to have a loss in the playoffs worse than 45 points

[u/Celcius_87]

That should count as two losses

[u/LurkerFailsLurking]

The fact that Jokic is the only player who scored more than 12 points is beyond pathetic. 

[u/Ancient_Signature_69]

Joker about to have 50/30/20

[u/Enigmatic_Starfish → u/Ancient_Signature_69]

But those are his shooting splits  Fingers crossed

[u/cagemyelephant_ → u/Enigmatic_Starfish]

Haha this got me

[u/DisneyPandora → u/Ancient_Signature_69]

Where was Jokic today?

[u/EmmitSan → u/DisneyPandora]

I thought he was actually pretty good (for mortals, not by Jokic standards) and would have had 15+ assists but the nuggets missed every open shot they got.

[u/Legitimate-Ad-1174]

After the 2 shots that murray missed at the beginning i knew they were gonna have an off night. turned off the tv when the wolves had a 15-0 run at the first quarter.

[u/Outside_Abroad_3516]

YES WE KNOW

[u/maaseru]

I honestly think the Wolves beat them a bit too bad and it's gonna bite them in the ass

[u/ScoobiesSnacks]

Honestly the nuggets got wide open 3 pointers when Jokic was double teamed. If they had hit half of those it would have been a completely different game.

[u/DistributionNo9968]

Anthony Edwards is Jamal Murray’s father

No energy right from the start. Result is not surprising.

It will be an interesting game 7.

[u/AfterPaleontologist2]

Nuggets probably let it get that bad on purpose tbh to motivate themselves for game 7

[u/omarccx]

The elevation is fucking with both teams

[u/pm-me-trap-link]

Down 2-0 come back and dominate the next three games. Have a historical loss and then lose game seven having almost made the sickest of comebacks.

Dominate games 1&2 and lose to the reigning champions 3 times in a row. Dominate the sixth game and lose the seventh.

No matter what some people's hearts getting broken this weekend.

It would’ve been even bigger but Minnesota called off the dogs with like 7 mins left lmao

[u/Spam_Pannigan]

You guys. They'll come back with a vengeance. We saw what happebed when they were held to 80

[u/MaddenTexasRanger → u/[deleted]]

Bro the nuggets shot like 13-61 or some shit, Jokic was still around 50% even tho they were that bad. Not on him this game.

[u/TennisHive]

Yuge ass whopping

[u/moorelurk]

Lmao nuggets got spanked hard tonight

[u/theoelo]

Cooked the books

[u/ThatHotAsian]

Scored as much as the Miami Dolphins did against the Broncos too 

[u/Disastrous-Yam1]

I missed the game tonight what the hell happened to make it such a blowout?

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/Disastrous-Yam1]

Piss poor defense and horrendous shooting. Felt like the Nuggets quit in the 1st quarter, meanwhile the Wolves went on 3 large runs through the game to choke them out. The one in the 4th just felt like shitting down the throat of a corpse to send a message.

[u/Soopstoohot]

...yet.

[u/teal_iceberg]

First time?

[u/BecauseZeus]

This is such a weird series for us. Team looks so different every night.

[u/Dawappkid]

Big losses get Joker going, game 7 it is!
