Adam Mares

He was just absolutely nails in this game.

Late in the game, Adelman, I think feeling a little desperate, challenged a foul on Christian Brown, kind of consequential because it gave Denver just one timeout remaining.

To me, when I watched it, I thought CB fouled him two times on the play.

I thought it was a Hail Mary of a challenge and they did not need to take it.

So they're down seven with three minutes to go.

McCain hit a three in the corner that felt like a dagger to put him up eight.

with two minutes to go, but then Tim Hardaway Jr.

responded with a three with a minute 40.

And what really got Denver back in this game and actually should have won it

Lou Dort, once again, a flagrant foul on Nikola Jokic.

I feel bad for the guy.

I feel bad because he clearly did not mean to swing his arm in the most unnatural motion ever right at Jokic's face.

I mean, all sincerity, it's like a footnote in this game, but it is kind of like, what the hell, man?

Oh, it's bullshit.

What the?

Jokic only hits one of two, though, at the line.

Then the Nuggets get the ball, and he hits a three-pointer.

Absolutely clutch.

Then he gets a post-up, and it's a one-point game with 30 seconds.

So they're down eight with two minutes to go.
