What Denver Must Clean Up Tonight to Take Full Control of the Series
The Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay break down the Nuggets’ Game 1 win — and why Game 2 is all about the start. Denver can’t afford another slow opening, especially against a Minnesota team that thrives on big scoring runs. The guys dive into how the Nuggets can start fast, limit turnovers, and keep the Wolves from ever finding momentum.
They also discuss the importance of Jokic and Murray setting the tone, the crucial role of the bench, and why Minnesota — especially with Anthony Edwards not at 100% — is a very beatable team if Denver plays clean, connected basketball.
