Nuggets Journal: Denver fat with success after one win in the NBA Finals? Think again.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:14:06 GMT

Up 1-0 in the NBA Finals, the way Nuggets coach Michael Malone spoke on Saturday after practice, you’d think his team had actually dropped the series opener.“Yeah, I don’t think we played well in Game 1,” Malone said.Miami’s poor 3-point shooting, which included just 5 for 16 on wide-open 3s on Thursday night? Not going to happen again, Denver’s coach said bruskly.“As I told our players this morning, the fact that they got 16 wide-open 3s is problematic, and if you think that Max Strus is going to go 0 for 9 again or Duncan Robinson is going to go 1 for 5 again, you’re wrong,” he said.Barely prompted, Malone turned his attention to the fourth quarter where the Nuggets were outscored 30-20 and saw a sizable double-digit lead shrink to just nine as the Heat found its 3-point stroke. Think Malone, with a chance to do something no other team in Nuggets history has done, would allow for even an ounce of complacency? Think again. No one’s getting fat with success right n...
