Ohm Youngmisuk: Jamal Murray said amount of mental/physical energy spent being the hunted champs was more exhausting than always having chip on shoulder and looking to prove people wrong before winning it all. Frustrated with season over: “I feel like we should’ve won. They beat us but…”

New story: The Wolves’ comeback over Denver actually started 13 months ago, when Ant Edwards ran into Jamal Murray at a bar after MIN’s 1st Rd loss to DEN. “I told him, ‘We’ll be back,'” Edwards told ESPN. “‘You’ll see us again when we’re fully loaded.'” bit.ly/3QQkNGB – 2:04 AM

When the dust settles on this year, how much the Nuggets pushed and pressed during the 82-game regular season coming off a championship run needs to be looked at. Every Nuggets starter (except Jamal Murray because of injuries) played more minutes than they did last season even – 12:28 AM

After Michael Porter Jr. hit a 3 that tied the game at 72 with 10:08 to play, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray were the only Nuggets to score the rest of the way. – 11:55 PM

I know there’s going to be a lot of discussion about what needs to change, and the Nuggets failed, where they went wrong.
I’m going to put my full support behind Michael Malone, Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray. – 11:03 PM

Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. have reached a wall. They each need to get better for this next stage and I am very curious to see what they look like next year.
Plus, it feels like we haven’t seen a truly hungry Nuggets team in years. Next season should be fun. – 10:46 PM

Bittersweet for Canadian hoops fans. The country’s 2 best players are out in the Conference Semis. Silver lining: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & Jamal Murray will have a few more weeks of rest/prep time ahead of Canada camp & the Olympics. Could be crucial for Murray’s availability. – 10:35 PM

Canada’s NBA superstars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray did everything they could to get their teams through, dropping 36 and 35 points, respectively in final games of season. Silver lining for Canadian hoops fans is odds Murray in Paris just went way up. – 10:34 PM

Nuggets’ starters, especially Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, looked gassed, exhausted, and had no energy the entire 2nd half. Settled for 3s, missed box outs. They had nothing left. Worn out after playing too much in the 1st half. – 10:34 PM

Non Jamal Murray Nuggets in this game: 1-for-12 from 3.
How these final 12 minutes play out likely will come down to whether any of these supporting guys can hit some shots. – 9:53 PM

At the half: Nuggets 53, T-Wolves 38.
Impeccable defensive half for Denver. Held Edwards to only 4 points.
Jamal Murray has 24 points and Jokic has 13 points & 15 rebounds.
If you are Malone, what is your message to the team? – 9:10 PM

He’s having an incredible half offensively. Scoring, forcing fouls, finding the open man. .

Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic settle the Nuggets down a little bit. Good to see Murray find some baskets early.
Michael Porter can’t buy one. That three was ll the way down, around, and out.
On the other end, Denver’s defense has been strong, but they’ve dodged some bullets. – 8:23 PM
