After the Heat ended up thumping Milwaukee Bucks out of the conference semi-finals yesterday, Denver Nuggets will today be looking to down another big fish. Denver will turn to Miami’s performance to instil confidence in their ranks and power themselves towards a series leveling win against the Raptors.
After winning game 2 to restore parity in the conference semi-finals, Denver Nuggets failed to make the win count come game 3. Although they pushed the Raptors hard as they gave everything they had on the day to take the tie as close as 113-107, Denver were left languishing to once again face a deficit of 2-1 in the series.
While they’ll be ruing their showing infront of the post the last time around with their low rate when converting the field points resulting in their defeat, Denver still have plenty of positives to take home from the scrimmage. They made life torrid for the Clippers, a side which tottered and stuttered before just about doing enough to rake up a win.
