I would say it can’t get much worse for the Denver Nuggets, but who knows what is to come throughout this series. Losing the first two games on the road is not a death sentence, but the way Denver is playing right now, they appear close to their demise. They have lost both games by 16+ points, and tempers are starting to flare.
Nikola Jokic was ejected in Game 2, Monte Morris recorded a technical, and Barton and Boogie started a verbal altercation on the sidelines. There might not have been any pressure on the Nuggets to win this series because they are the underdog, but there is certainly pressure now as they are on the verge of getting swept.
