And they did, bad shooting night for the Timberwolves, crowd are silence and can't believe that they've lost this game and maybe thinking that they should be up by 3-0 already and sweeping the defending champions.

But like any other great teams, they have adjusted, Gordon is shooting good and so is Murray. So this series is back on track again with this huge win by the Nuggets.

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.

Well, that 80% chance will surely evaporate if the Nuggets manage to win again on the road in Game 4. Cheesy

If that happens, that's the first time that I will see both teams winning 2 games on the road in a series, and with how we saw the Nuggets won in Game 3 against the Wolves, it surely is possible. Maybe let's also add the fact that the Wolves are having a bad night. Well, they shot 43% and 30% from 3-pt area. It's just that, the Nuggets shot better at 54% on the field and 48% from 3-pt area. They also manage to lessen Edward's performance and scoring only 19 points.

Game 4 will surely be a crucial one. If the Wolves win, this series might end up in 6 games favoring them, but if the Nuggets manage to steal one again on the road, there will be a Game 7. Only my prediction.

Both series look to be going 6/7 games as both teams down 2-0 took game 3. Always like a good full series instead of a boring blowout but as a knicks fan would have been nice to steal one last night. If OG doesn't come back it's going to be tough for them to pull this series out they just don't have enough healthy bodies. Hole dudes hamstring comes through but those usually take weeks so im not holding my breath. Onto game 4!

Knicks are still fighting and almost have that win in the end, so game 4 is still not safe for the home team as the Knicks are just very close to them. it's given that OG are not gonna play, Knicks are undermanned but they played like they are complete, so I think Pacers aren't really a championship team or capable of beating the Knicks, because even if they'll win game 4, back at New York, it's a very tough environment for them.

The Pacers are one of the worst teams in the regular season in terms of defensive rating (2nd worst in the whole league), so I wasn't surprised that the Knicks still manage to loss by a small margin despite them being undermanned. For me, they only won because of the crucial mistakes that happened in the final minutes of the game. Pacers only lead by 1 when DiVincenzo was called for a goaltend, but if that shot wasn't blocked, it will not go into the basket. That caused them to give the Pacers a 3-point lead. If that call didn't happen, the Knicks aren't forced to make a 3 instead they will just make a 2. Well, there's still a Game 4 and TBH, Indiana has a chance to lose on this one. I mean they almost lost in Game 3 if only Nembhard's 3-point shot didn't went in.

Overall, the Pacers are a young team and this is a good experience for them but still, it's good that they have a coach that has so much playoff experience and a title on his back as well.
