Nuggets have themselves to blame for not sealing playoff berth: “It’s a bad loss”

The best version of the Nuggets is a viable postseason threat, according to Aaron Gordon.

“When we pay attention to details, we’re as good as any team in the league,” he said in the aftermath of the Nuggets’ 116-97 loss to San Antonio that spoiled their chances of sealing a playoff berth Tuesday night.

That hypothetical form was a far-cry from what took the court against San Antonio. According to Michael Malone, Josh Richardson and Devin Vassell were run-offs on the scouting report, meaning defenders were told to sprint them off the 3-point line. Instead, the duo knocked down 8 of 11 3-pointers.
