We're also in the Toyota Winners Lounge, driven by our front-range Toyota stores. Toyota, the official vehicle of DNVR.

Brendan Vogt 1:05
Over here, we got Brendan Vogt. What a treat. The win streak's still going. The Nuggets are a top three seed. The regular season is in the books. And we get to not just break down this game, but finally, fellas, turn our attention to the good stuff.
Adam Mares 1:18
Playoffs are set, baby. Over here, Harrison Wind.
Harrison Wind 1:20
Man, it's been a long season, man. 82 games, 82 postgame lounges. Ending the season on 12 straight winners lounge as well.
Dev 1:30
Bro. It's a great feeling. It feels right.

What historical context is relevant to the Nuggets vs. Timberwolves rivalry?

Harrison Wind 1:32
It's a great feeling. It does feel right.
Adam Mares 1:34
Especially with how this year has gone. Only superstar not sitting out tonight. Superstar Dev. I mean, 54 wins.
Dev 1:42
Who saw it coming? Who would have saw it coming? Who would have predicted? I don't know, man. But that's 54 winners lounges.
Adam Mares 1:50
It says 54 winners lounges.
Dev 1:52
And like he said, 12 of them straight. Who has it better than us?
Adam Mares 1:56
In all honesty, round of applause for Dev. He got it right. 54 wins, he predicted. Nailed it. Absolutely nailed it.
Brendan Vogt 2:04
How did you know that all those guys would get hurt?
Dev 2:07
Who did? Who knew that? Nobody knew that.
Adam Mares 2:10
He just knew 54 wins.
Brendan Vogt 2:11
He didn't have to tell you how it was going to happen. 54 is pretty impressive when you stop and think about it. Given how this season went, he gets a 54, man.
Adam Mares 2:19
But again, how do you get a high number? Again, 54 is not the highest number. They've had 54 wins with the Yoko Chara before. But how do you get there? 12 win streaks. We always talk about win streaks are how you get your number to be surprisingly high. Denver had one. Really, they had two win streaks this year. They had the seven game and the 12 game. Yep. That's 19 games. You're almost halfway to your total. Let's go to a very fast breakdown. Set the table for you in case you missed it. Nuggets resting their guys except for one. Nikola Jokic, who needed to play at least 15 minutes in this game to be eligible for all NBA honors. So he played. Everybody else out. Wemby out for the Spurs, but nobody else. They kind of want to get this game.
Adam Mares 2:55
So that sets the stage. Strother starts hot. He had a very good first half, man. He had a pretty good game overall, but he was very good, especially early on. He got 23 points. But early on, he was on fire. Jokic got dunked on by Carter Bryant.
Brendan Vogt 3:08
Oh, my God. Why are you bringing that up, man? Let that be buried forever.
Adam Mares 3:12
Because it's one of the worst posters Jokic received somehow. But Jokic still wins the battle and the war. 12-7 for him in the first quarter. 37-34 Nuggets after one. Second quarter, Curtis Jones back-to-back threes. He started four for four from three, I believe. And then you guys remember the Spurs offense in the second quarter looked horrible, like horrible. They couldn't do anything. It was so weird. Nuggets were rolling. Spurs went scoreless for eight minutes. Eight minutes they didn't get a basket. Unbelievable. Then Jokic back in and he was absolutely dominating. This was such a fun Jokic game. We're trying to figure out what it was he was going to try to do. This felt like, I don't want to say he was sending a message because I don't think he was, but this was a message to me that said he is totally locked in for the playoffs because he was making everything.
