Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]Knowing around this time of the year, it's like okay, taking away some things where, you know, you might do throughout the regular season.

[00:00:11]I think that [clears throat] from that aspect, making sure you know, you get get back in the gym. And then obviously knowing the scout, that's obviously when you're in the series, knowing personnel is huge. Knowing, you know, plays and all that stuff is is huge and detrimental. Every possession matters, so you just got to kind of, you know, make sure those those things are on on point.

[00:00:29]That's That's all the coaches coaches have done a great job of preparing us for game one. You look at, you know, the little mistakes we made.

[00:00:38]Saying that the reason that we were making little mistakes on and and try to even up the series tonight.

[00:00:43]The intensity of the NBA playoffs reaches another level when you're talking about division rivals. Three post season meetings in four years between the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

[00:01:09]All eyes on Anthony Edwards.

[00:01:11]Edwards, the answer. Randle penetrating and the lane. Randle got the lane.

[00:01:17]That's what you want to see from Julius.

[00:01:19]Tremendous defensive sequence. Gordon with the highlight throw down. How elated are you if you're the Denver Nuggets? You have a 14 point advantage and Jokic is 0 for 1. That's crazy. I mean, Denver right now, their shot making is off the charts. And Minnesota's going to have to make plays like this. It's going to have to junk it up, be ugly. Let's figure out a way to get back in this game and get every extra possession we can. It's playoff basketball. You got to claw, you got to scrape.

[00:02:03]DiVincenzo open from downtown. Can't let that guy get a good look. Randle over to Edwards. Edwards wants three. Yes, sir.

[00:02:14]We've got a battle at Mile High. Randle in the lane, off balance, got the touch.

[00:02:20]Edwards off glass, buckets and the foul. He has figured it out. Gobert got two.

[00:02:28]Man, playing through contact there.

[00:02:30]Conley got the trey. That's good basketball right there.

[00:02:35]Outside to Conley, touch pass to Reid.

[00:02:38]Gobert to downtown. To the rim. He's a blur. Yes, he was. Right downhill.

[00:02:45]Inside McDaniels. Wolves on top.

[00:02:49]Reid for Jokic wants it up.

[00:02:55]Kind of an advantage. DiVincenzo off to the races. DiVincenzo for two.

[00:03:01]That's what he does.

[00:03:03]What was lost in game one with Gobert was amazing against Jokic. He's doing it again in the fourth quarter. Yes, he is.

[00:03:11]Gobert Yes, Gobert over Jokic.

[00:03:31]No good.

[00:03:32]Battle for the board. DiVincenzo has it.

[00:03:35]Up to Randle. FIVE SECONDS. DIVINCENZO with the exclamation point.

[00:03:42]Off the mark.

[00:03:44]Minnesota, a shocker here in Denver.

[00:03:48]This series is tied at a game a piece.

[00:03:51]Great response from Minnesota after getting shell shocked in the first quarter. They had answers.

[00:04:03]Just coming together.

[00:04:06]Staying poised within those moments. I think they was up like what, 15, 16?

[00:04:11]Just trying to make runs, get defensive stops. We was on one accord, I feel like, on the defensive end tonight, especially once they went on those runs.
