Nuggets in Must Win Situation Facing Westbrook, Oklahoma City
There are many individuals in the world of sports who are protective of the term “must win.” That phrase isn’t something to be thrown around at any old time, they say. It is only to be used when a team’s backs are, in fact, against the proverbial wall.
Today, the Nuggets are there. Their playoff hopes hinge on wins. They must win their Sunday afternoon matinee against Oklahoma City, or be eliminated from the chase. Portland’s win over Utah on Saturday night has pushed the Nuggets to the brink. It is the Nuggets’ final regular season home game.
