lol Nuggets

No interest in winning this game. Scored 5 points in 8 minutes??? See you in Denver on Sunday… just pathetic 

Refs strong on minny too

They can close that lead down. 21 is nothing 

@tech65

 With certainty this game is OVER! NBA will ensure the 7 game series. Nuggets did not show up. And Jamal Murray is either great or absolutely terrible!

It's not over, but Minnesota is dominant.

If Denver can cut the lead to 17 or 18 heading into the half, I think they would be at least feeling some momentum.

Either way, they need to regroup 

Terrible 1st half for Murray and Jokic 

59-40 Minnesota 

HALF

Tremendous first half performance by the Wolves 

Denver makes a small run before the half, but has dug quite a hole 

Combined 3-point shooting was an atrocious 9-42 in the first half. This league stinks. The NBA needs to institute a limit on how many 3-pointers each team can attempt.

@MrBator

 Definitely can be hard to watch when it's a 3 point contest and nobody can make anything.

Pretty impressive by Denver to be down by 19 with the 3 point percentage in the 1st half.

Huh?  This game was decided in the 1st half... refs never had to do anything.

The abundance of 3-point shooting has made the NBA a shit-show... not sure how to solve it, but it's just garbage to watch, and has been for more than a decade!

Just like the Refs were on Denver when last in Minny. Scott "the Extender" Foster did his job. This crew did their job. Refs matter. Make sure you are always looking at that angle. How such a well established corrupt ref like Scott Foster can still be allowed to officiate games. Whenever a player or coach says anything about him they get fined (look at Rudy Gobert recently with a 75k fine and 100k earlier in the season about Foster). Don't forget Chris Paul literally getting thrown out when Golden State visited Phoenix for the first time and then fined 200k for speaking ill of Foster. There are a few crews you absolutely need to be aware of and the one you saw last night, Foster and a few others are them. My best advise is don't bet it if you don't know which way they refs are going to influence a game. Before the tin hat police come out if you watch any NBA games the past decade or more to say these refs don't influence the game at least enough for the players to say fuck it lets save our energy for the next one then you are not watching very close.

The only way to stop the plethora of 3 points shooting is to create a 4 point shot 

There is one. Its calling being fouled on a three point shot and making it.
