  1. Reminder that Tony Brothers tried to rig the game with that 5th foul on Jaden McDaniels

  4. Rudy 4x DPOY, 9x All Defense (number 4 in DPOY voting, he’ll make an All Defense team this season), 3x All Star, and Future Hall of Famer Gobert is a big reason they won in the 4th quarter. I’m glad he’s getting the respect he deserves

  5. This has to be like the first time Denver choked a big lead at home against the Wolves.

  8. Tony Brother in like a three minute time span. Called a foul on nothing on the Braun dunk, then said its a foul because Braun kicked Mcdaniels in the knee after a challenge, then gave Jokic an offensive foul for flopping, then stopped the game to review a three point shot that was a full foot behind the line. That was next level incompetence how does Adam Silver let this guy ruin the biggest games of the year.

  10. Jokic choosing to pass over a floater he makes 99% of the time. He has been looking passive since the came back from the injury.

  12. Where were you when Rudy Gobert completely shut down Nikola Jokic in the 4th on 4/20 in Denver?

  21. Murray shooting a long 2-pointer in that situation was the worst possible shot to take. Even a stepback 3 would have been a better idea.

  24. Donte was +20 in a 5 point game. Winning player. Holy shit

    There are so many moments from him that won’t show up on the stats sheet

  26. Gobert and McDaniels played some of the best defense on Jokic and Murray in that 4th quarter that I’ve ever seen wow

  30. Greatest offensive player in league history passed up a floater against a player 8 inches shorter than him

  36. Gobert fucking destroyed us that 4th quarter, + the wolves defense was just suffocating holy.

  37. Okay as a neutral I swear that was one of the most intense and awesome athletic events I’ve ever seen… and it’s a round one game lmao this is why we love this fucking sport

  38. One of the worst reffed games I’ve ever seen. Not even favoring one team but just buns throughout. 

  40. My take away from this wolves win is that the team kept it together mentally after some really tough officiating. This team has crumbled mentally over and over in the playoffs and it’s nice to see them not do it again. Goberts defense in the 4th was insane.

  41. ANT must be running on full adrenaline, his knee didn’t even seem to bother him towards the end
