Teams like the Nuggets, facing 0-2 deficits in the postseason, have been eliminated in 93% of instances that it happens, not a promising number for the defending champions as the team is fresh off a 106-80 loss on its home court to the Timberwolves.

According to Land of Basketball, 421 teams that have gone up 2-0 have closed the series out with only 33 rallying to win and advance.
