NOW THATS PLAYOFF NBA BASKETBALL!
THIS GAME WAS CRAZY AMAZING! IT TOOK 4 OVERTIMES TO DECIDE A WINNER. JOKIC PLAYED THE MOST MINUTES (64) IN A LOSS.
RODNEY HOOD CAME IN LATE AND DESTROYED DENVER. HE HAD THE FRESHEST LEGS ON THE COURT. HE HIT THE 3 TO SEALED VICTORY.
KANTER HEROIC EFFORTS WERE GREATLY APPRECIATE AS HE IS STILL BATTLING HIS SHOULDER INJURY.
MIND OVER MATTER.
PORTLAND’S ENERGY HAS BEEN CONTAGIOUS AS THEY’VE BEEN RESOURCEFUL FIGURING OUT WAYS TO WIN.

MY INTROSPECTED INSIGHT:
THE TWO CATEGORIES IN WHICH DENVER LOST IN THIS GAME ARE SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS. USUALLY RESULTING IN A RECEIPT WITH A LOSS SELF SERVED.
