That's great to hear, if they're going to play without OG and then Brunson, that's going to be a cute giveaway for the Pacers. Since they're already in the possible third streak of win against the Pacers, they don't just want to give any kind of momentum that might built from the Pacers side.

Despite missing OG and Jalen Brunson playing at not close to 70% fitness, it was still far from a giveaway for the Indiana Pacer as they had to fight for every single point today, and were close to losing it as well after the Knicks took a 9 points lead around midway into the 4th Quarter, but Andrew Nembhard answered the call when the game was on the line and he had no choice but to take a very deep 3 which he hit, and Pacers were finally able to bank on that opportunity to bring themselves back into the series, but they've still got a shit load of work to do towards game 4.

The Pacers did good tonight and it seems that we're getting a longer series but this despite, next week is going to be where we might see some teams advancing and leaving the semis.

Well, I hope they will keep that momentum until the next game to get the series even, because that was a really close game. If Andrew Nembhard missed that step back 3, there's no guarantee that they'd win that game. And, If Brunson didn't played on his own down the stretch, again there's no guarantee that the Pacers will win that game. The Knicks could've made a good play during the last shot Brunson desperately baiting for a foul instead of getting a good 3 pt shoot selection.

Yep, the Wolves were pretty mediocre in the first half of this game, and the Nuggets finally got them in the third quarter. However, the Wolves are still in the lead, and if you look at all-time playoff stats, they have an 80.1% chance of winning this series. So, the next game is clearly going to be critical for both teams.

Bad time for them, it wasn't the Wolves that we're expecting. But 2-1's are everywhere for this semis.

A good bounce back for the Nuggets to pick up that momentum after being totally locked down in game 1 and 2. And the Wolves had a very very bad game that they even gave up early in the 3rd quarter. They looked complacent sitting at 2 nothing, even Edwards was too comfortable answering the post game conference as if the Nuggets ain't capable of bouncing back and win the next 3.
This is the huge difference between an experienced against a young team who hasn't been into the finals.
