Denver has a bunch of self-belief. This isn’t really a confidence-builder, more like proof-of-concept. Denver rebounded HARD, bench fought their asses off & the Nuggets shared the offensive burden between their 3 scoring stars. Whole team defended.

The Bucks came in hot in the first Q & Denver had to ramp up to match. Bit of a struggle to start the second but they came back strong at the end of the quarter.
Out of halftime the Nuggets matched intensity and imposed themselves. The B2B kicked in for MIL, but great game. – 11:29 PM

Would’ve been a tall order for the Bucks to win tonight given the rest disadvantage. Still, it did illustrate how their offense often lacks subtlety if an opponent can meet Giannis’ physicality. Denver was up for it in the second half and the Bucks didn’t have much else to offer – 11:25 PM

The Nuggets bench, namely Ryan Saunders and Popeye Jones, really appreciated Aaron Gordon’s effort to force Antetokounmpo into a fadeaway jumper on that last possession. Nuggets get a stop, and KCP’s free throws put Denver up 10. – 10:40 PM

Bucks are short-circuiting here a little bit. Bobby Portis picked up a transition take foul and a tech earlier to create a five-point possession for Denver, and Brook Lopez just picked up a tech from the bench after exiting with a fourth foul.

Typically in transition, they deal with a scramble and the matchups that come with it. Connaughton could have stayed on him there, but sprinted away to let Lopez grab him.

Early timeout for the Nuggets after the Bucks take a 17-12 lead. Giannis with nine of those points. Milwaukee’s made all five of its shots inside the 3-point line. Jamal Murray with 5 points and a couple of assists for Denver. – 9:18 PM

Giannis has three dunks in the first three minutes of the game. Also has an and-1 finish against AG. Up until that last possession (when Jokic swarmed him on a double-team), they’ve been playing him straight up. Don’t think that’s gonna work. – 9:17 PM

The top seeds in each conference squaring off tonight in Denver, and with full rosters on both sides, too. Should be a very fun showcase for the league’s elite, and a possible Finals preview. – 9:12 PM

#Nuggets have taken to announcing opposing team’s height above sea level, seemingly as a ploy to psyche them out. Milwaukee sits at 614 feet above sea level. But Malone joked before the game, after 10 days away from Denver, he wondered what kind of legs his own team would have. – 9:08 PM

In case you missed it last night, Brook Lopez put on a defensive show.
In my story, I broke down this block frame-by-frame because it is a truly ridiculous defensive play.

Michael Malone, asked if he had concerns about his team getting up for tonight’s game vs. the No. 1 team in the NBA in Milwaukee.
“I worry about everything.”
Said they’ve played uncharacteristic basketball recently and he didn’t want to assume anything. – 7:20 PM
