Nuggets preview: What Denver’s Players Said After McDaniels’ Comments And How They Show Up in Game 3
The Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay look ahead to Game 3 between the Nuggets and Timberwolves — and the pressure is officially on Denver. After getting punked in Game 2 and called out by Jaden McDaniels, how did Nuggets players respond at practice, and what kind of intensity should fans expect tomorrow night?
The guys dive into Denver’s horrific three‑point shooting, with multiple key players stuck in the 20% range and open looks going completely to waste. The Nuggets dominated the shot quality battle… but shot 27% from deep when wide open in Game 2. That trend has to end — now.
How does Denver respond physically
How do they respond emotionally
And how do they respond strategically to take back control of a series that suddenly feels like it’s slipping
Zach & Phil give their gut feeling on Game 3, what adjustments Denver must make, and how the Nuggets can flip the momentum back in their favor before it’s too late.
