4 days ago | denverstiffs.com | Gordon Gross

The Denver Nuggets scored a playoff-franchise-low 8 points in the first quarter and could not overcome it, running out of gas to finish the game and lost 92-87 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Denver fought back to take the lead after three quarters, but that took too much from the squad and the Thunder handled their business down the stretch in a way they didn’t in Game 3.

The Denver Nuggets came out like they were going to play a scrimmage, while the Oklahoma City Thunder came out like they were geared up for war and that made all the difference in OKC’s blowout victory over the Nuggets 149-106.

The Denver Nuggets look to take a second game off the Thunder in Oklahoma City tonight as they face off in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. The Nuggets rallied from multiple double digit deficits to take Game 1 behind a monster Nikola Jokic game and an incredible last-second three pointer from Aaron Gordon, but if they want to take this game they’ll need to find a higher gear from the start and withstand the expected angry charge from the #1 seed on their own home floor.
Recap: Denver Nuggets down Los Angeles Clippers in a Game 7 blow-out, 120-101

The Denver Nuggets are moving on in the playoffs and the Los Angeles Clippers are going home after a 120-101 Denver victory in the pivotal Game 7. Surprisingly it was not a game carried by Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray. Jokic had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists despite sitting most of the fourth quarter with 5 fouls, but Aaron Gordon led the team with 22 points and Christian Braun had 21, while Denver had 6 players with 15+ points in this one in a balanced and effective offensive attack.

The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers have played each other about as closely as two teams can, which makes it no surprise that it’s coming down to a deciding Game 7 in Denver. The winners gets the reward of facing the well-rested and top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, while the loser heads to Cancun after what would be a disappointing outcome for either squad.

The Denver Nuggets came out fast to start the first quarter, but when the going got tough the Los Angeles Clippers got going and pulled away from Denver pretty easily the rest of the game, winning 117-83. Nikola Jokic had 23 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists in the loss and was still a -20 for the game. Jamal Murray added 23 points of his own, but the bench gave them almost nothing even in garbage time.

The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers tip off their third playoff game tonight, after two incredibly tight contests. The Nuggets won the first game in overtime and faded down the stretch in the second, but both games were incredibly physical affairs between two evenly matched squads. The series could easily be 2-0 in either direction, so both squads know what they are into and adjustments will be key to taking control of this series. The first step to that is finding a way to win game three.
Recap: The Denver Nuggets start the David Adelman era with a win over the Sacramento Kings 124-116

The Denver Nuggets won their first game since their coaching change with a 124-116 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Without former coach Michael Malone at the helm, the Nuggets definitely seemed to talk more and be more into the huddles. That translated into an overall improved effort from the Non-Jokic starters, with all of them scoring at least 18 points, which was Jalen Pickett’s career-high.

The Denver Nuggets head to Sacramento to face the Kings in an attempt to salvage the season, one day after Denver fired head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth. The Nuggets have lost four straight games, and how they looked in those losses was apparently the final straw for KSE Enterprises to fire its on-court and front office leaders and see if any spark remains in this season.
