Among the topics discussed:<\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets rallied from 13 points down in the fourth quarter to take down Oklahoma City on its home court in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series. How did the Nuggets pull it off? And how does the ball keep finding Aaron Gordon in these clutch moments?<br \/>\nHow much did coaching decisions play into the dramatic final minutes of the game? Did Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault err in sticking with his fouling strategy with Nikola Jokic off the court? Was it wise to extend the game with his team leading by three in the final seconds?<br \/>\nIs there any doubt about Nikola Jokic\u2019s MVP bona fides after his heroic Game 1 performance?<br \/>\nRussell Westbrook continues to shine in the playoffs. Is this version of the Russ fans should expect to see as the series ramps up?<br \/>\nWhat is the legacy of the Nuggets\u2019 series win over the Clippers? Who gained the most from those seven games? And what does it say about Denver that it\u2019s advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs six times in seven years?<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to the podcast<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/nuggetspodcast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/nuggets-ink\/id1340404621?mt=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6GeKxePNZXCJHbrE4yTe2k?si=l6SFF4xuQx6LeH23tLc5_A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/music.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLSIh8dZJvvLVwk1sx7rIkhBvrxlxq8JUk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube Music<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.soundcloud.com\/users\/soundcloud:users:287723305\/sounds.rss\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Producer: AAron Ontiveroz<br \/>Music: \u201cThe Last Dragons\u201d by Schama Noel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/newsletter-signup\/nuggets-insider\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Want more Nuggets news?
