    Nuggets were completely exhausted in the second half. Can’t blame Jokic, the Wolves were really built to counter them. They had the personnel to keep 2 big men guarding Jokic at any given time throughout the entire game. I can imagine how exhausting it is to fight through those double teams.

    Murray cost them 4 precious points near the end of the game with those turnovers bringing up the ball. MPJ never showed up this series. At least Gordon had some great games.

    Naz Reid was the X factor. Jokic could manage vs Gobert and KAT, but having Reid in there too really tipped the scales to the Wolves’ favor.
