DENVER – Timberwolves President Tim Connelly offered a preview of what was to come Sunday night in his team's first game against the top seed Nuggets.
"We've got a long way to go before we're where this team is," Connelly said.
Based on Sunday night's result, that was underselling it. The Wolves looked lifeless and dispirited in a 109-80 bludgeoning at the hands of the Nuggets.
Denver blew the game wide open in a nightmare 32-14 third quarter for the Wolves, who had just about everything go wrong that could in a playoff game. The Wolves will try to rebound for Game 2 in Denver on Wednesday.
