05:25runs all by himself
05:27credit
05:28Clyde scores
05:29never have to make a decision
05:31what they're going to do
05:32right now
05:33they're making outsides out there
05:34and they're scoring in the bank
05:35and they're getting out of transition
05:36Devin Chenzo
05:41just watching Jayden McDaniels
05:43how he got skinny over that screen
05:45making sure that Yoko's couldn't screen
05:47and Yoko's one of the best screeners in our league
05:49and making it tough for Murray
05:50Devin Chenzo knocked it away
05:52numbers
05:53Edwards on the win
05:54and Jim Hardaway off the bench
05:56would have been the three
05:59that one was going to go
06:00sometimes when you're coming off an injury
06:02you need an adjustment
06:03right?
06:04your legs are a little short
06:05Anthony Edwards made that
06:07big hit for Yoko's from outside
06:09it's a three for Nikola
06:11that's not to you
06:12nothing wrong
06:17now we welcome the audience

06:29up
06:29the bench has been disrupted
06:30Yoko's on the move
06:32he's made two in a row
06:34he is just too big
06:35too strong
06:37that Euro
06:38passed the secondary defender
06:40Edwards on the goal
06:41their screen
06:42it's a three
06:43but they're not moving on the screen
06:45allow you as a guard
06:46to do what you need to do
06:47he's been saying

07:03there's nothing
07:04you can do about that
07:05they never wants
07:06Minnesota to take jump shots
07:08it's the biggest lead
07:09for the Wolves
07:10a rejection inside
07:11by the Wolves
07:12but Minnesota's just making plays
07:14on both ends of the floor
07:16as McDaniels attack
07:17he's talked about
07:18movement with this team
07:20you can see on the offensive end
07:21that's the point of emphasis
07:22for this team
07:23is to make sure
07:23that they don't stand still
07:24they're not ball rushing
07:26that they're moving
07:26and catching Denver

07:45outside
07:45Jokic puts it in
07:50McDaniels
07:50had some choice words
07:51about the defense
07:52of Denver
07:53so it was non-existent
07:54a drive inside
07:55Murray
07:56he shows him

08:10at the finals
08:10on both ends of the floor
08:12they've given up themselves
08:13for the other guy
08:14and it's inspiring
08:16a lot of traffic
08:17Randall inside
08:18do you know what this reminds me of?
08:20DeVincenzo
08:21Gobert
08:22driving hard
08:23Jokic is there
08:25the twist
08:25the turn
08:26the spin the hook
08:30Retrieved by Minnesota
08:31it's McDaniels
08:34Ant
08:35Murray there
08:39and that's the one thing
08:40that Minnesota
08:41do not want to do
08:42in this quarter
08:43right here
08:43is turn the ball over
08:44that would allow Denver
08:45to get out
08:46and transition
08:47get back into this game
08:48as Ant Edwards get another
08:49both ends of the floor
08:51gets out early
08:53and is able to capitalize
08:55Jones 3
08:56puts it up and in
08:57Spencer Jones
09:01it's a rebound
09:02by Jokic
09:04in stride
09:05Jackson to the hole
09:06nice assist
09:07by Jokic
09:08but that's what they're gonna need
09:10they're gonna need
09:10some of those relief baskets
09:11to get themselves going
09:13maybe get Minnesota
09:14to call a timeout here
09:15and rebreat
09:16with release
09:17Murray
09:18and another 2
09:19down
09:20Cameron Johnson
09:21Joker wants the ball

10:01On Monday game two by five
10:23To Minnesota's credit they're not giving up those backdoor layers Kevin. He does a great job
10:29You know
10:31Ten rebounds three blocks. It's proper down the way stupid. No
10:38Denver has had some success against series tied at one
10:45Three you can scream book it and finally
10:48They lost an important piece that's over in Atlanta right now playing well the kill Alexander Walker
10:55Good point, and they will hopefully that this guy right here be the guy to come in and feel that
11:00void and he has done that
11:01He's got 21 off the bench tonight
11:0321
11:05For Io Dosubo
11:06He gets it at the other end
11:10With 0.8 to go in the third and then looked at the ref like something's wrong with him
11:15You can't do it on the floor. You can't do it in public
11:18Murray is the one
11:19Nice shot rattles in
11:21Denver has had success
11:24First time Anderson's been in
11:26Edwards thrives double right there
11:28Metal wall, shot clock at three
11:29For Cutting Dosubo
11:32He has been a magician tonight
11:34To be on an all-out attack
11:36And so we see how he handles these monkeys minutes
11:38Well Edwards shooting 40% from three in the regular season with the legs
11:43It's a little different when you're injured
11:45Having to adjust your game and he made that adjustment in game two
11:48Look at this defense by McDaniels
11:51Murray trying to get away
11:53Faking, firing, no
11:56Rebound, ground, whistle inside
11:58He's committed to the defensive end of the floor and he's just gonna make it hard on Murray all night
12:02Anderson picked up the foul, corner three, book it, nice shot
12:06But he's played with three different teams
12:09Gobert comes back in
12:10The crowd on their feet man
12:12They are appreciating
12:14As Jokic checks in
12:16Edwards will sit
12:17The crowd on their feet right now
12:19Edwards is going to the locker room with a bite
12:22I'm out the zone
12:23And see if they would use it
12:25They utilize it
12:26And it's kind of taking Minnesota out of their rhythm
12:28As Randall Einstein gets it to the tee for the defense
12:31In the fourth quarter, Denver has gone 2-10
12:34Minnesota has gone 2-7
12:36In the paint
12:37Hard shot
12:38Mayor Daniels
12:39He runs a big row at Jokic
12:42When he was out of the game
12:43They just
12:43They was kind of in between
12:46It's Jokic again
12:48Gobert of the close
12:49Jokic nails the triple
12:51Timeout Minnesota
12:52As a four-time defensive player of the year
12:55It's Jones
12:57Murray
12:57The drive
12:58And he got it
12:59And Murray went right into Daniels
13:01However, there was still enough discomfort
13:04That Denver didn't want to risk it tonight
13:05So the plan as of now
13:06Is to recruit tomorrow
13:08And back out
13:09And accept
13:10As a Super Bowl
13:11Oh, thank you
13:13Brown
13:14Hesitating
13:15Jab-stepping
13:16And getting it to go
13:17On the deuce
13:18And that's going to be
13:19Jay McDermott
13:20Because he backed up any and everything
13:22That everyone had to say about his comments
13:24About them on both
13:25Is to head
13:25Oh
13:27SUBSCRIBE
13:33Oh
13:37Oh
13:37Chapter
13:40Oh
13:42Oh
13:43takiego
13:47And
13:48oh
13:49I know we talked about Ant-Man needing to put that performance on for Minnesota tonight.
13:54Help win this game, and you need your role players to step up in certain games in this series to
13:59get one.
14:00And tonight, I give Minnesota role players this win.
14:04Look at the paint number. 64 paint points today.
14:09Excuse me, 66.
14:11Oh, look at this. Ryan's home by Osimo.
14:14This is a rivalry right here.
14:16If I've ever seen one, this is a rivalry.
14:19Tyus Jones across the line. Got it to go.
14:23The offense in neither game so far has looked like the Denver Nuggets offense we used to see.
14:29And it's so low to see what attempts they make.
14:3220 points, 10 rebounds.
14:36He was sensational.
14:39Dosubu, hold it up to Vincenzo.
14:44Final seconds.
14:46Minnesota held Denver to their worst field goal percentage of the season.
14:54The Nuggets tonight shot 34%.
14:58They didn't shoot below 40% all season long.
15:04But tonight, they did in game three.
15:09It's one thing to talk about it.
15:10It's another to back it up.
15:11What was your mindset coming into this one that allowed you to simply just be about it?
15:16Just come out, win the game, play team ball.
15:19And we all, whoever's night it is, just keep giving them the high hand.
15:22And that was, tonight was Ayo.
15:24We just kept hooping.
15:25There's a lot of noise Ayo made about the comments from Jaden after game two.
15:29What did his performance tonight show exactly who Jaden McDaniels is?
15:33I mean, he our brother.
15:35We're a tight-knit group.
15:36And we just like to back each other up.
15:37I think we came out and played verocious.
15:40We played together.
15:41We played hard.
15:42And we held him to, you know, under 100 points in the playoffs.
15:46Number one offensive team in the regular season.
15:49So, kudos to the whole team.
15:50And, yeah, we always got Jaden back.
15:52How would you rate Jaden's slam there in the fourth?
15:55Oh, it was amazing.
15:56It was amazing.
15:57I told him he only jumped off one leg.
15:59And that was the leg he jumped off of.
16:01How do you feel about that assessment?
16:02It was cool.
16:03He right.
16:03I only got right leg bounce.
16:05So, I'm going to get my left leg right.
16:07Jaden, obviously, we know there's a lot of history between these two teams.
16:10If there's one thing you know about Denver, they'll be ready for game four.
16:13How do you guys avoid complacency on Saturday?
16:17It's not changing nothing.
16:18Just keep playing the way we play.
16:20Ferocious defense.
16:21Rebounding, playing team ball.
16:22We'll be all right.
16:23Final one for you.
16:24You were so excited to be back in the postseason.
16:27What has your rhythm that you found through the first three been a result of?
16:30I'm just blessed.
16:31I'm blessed to be here from the beginning of this summer training.
16:34I said I wanted to play in the playoffs.
16:36So, I can't take this moment for granted.
16:38You know, being here with a great organization, great group of guys.
16:40And I'm just having fun each and every game.
16:42You guys appreciate the time.
16:43Congrats on the win.
16:44Lopez Lopez Lopez Lopez.
16:45Let's see.
16:49Good night.
16:49Let's go.
