In a recent episode of the show ‘Getup on ESPN’, NBA analyst Chiney Ogwumike shared her opinion on the Denver Nuggets losing two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Ogwumike expressed that the Nuggets must show their true strength as they are currently down 0-2 to Minnesota.

 

“You started off with the heart of a champion; that’s what the Timberwolves have been playing with. They are not playing with strategy, they are not playing with X’s and O’s, they just want this more. What I would tell the locker room is, ‘Do we want to be a dynasty at this moment or not?’ Because this is when we’re tested. We are down 2-0. We have pieces to be great in the long term in the West. If they don’t win this game, then the West is for the taking because there are some in different teams that want to take it.” Chiney Ogwumike said.

Denver Nuggets Jamal Murray’s Availability Doubtful for Game 3

The Nuggets have suffered two consecutive losses against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and they need to come up with a winning strategy for game three to stay in the race. Furthermore, there is uncertainty regarding Jamal Murray’s availability for game three due to his calf injury.

Game 3 between the Timberwolves and Nuggets will occur at Target Center on Friday. It will be interesting to see if Minnesota will dominate again or Denver will return in the series.
