Denver Nuggets can't be satisfied facing Los Angeles Lakers, coach Mike Malone says

After making NBA history on Tuesday completing a second straight 3-1 series comeback, the emotions are high for the Denver Nuggets. But coach Mike Malone is stressing the point: They can't be satisfied with themselves, yet.

"I think the biggest question aside from themes, plays, personnel, is are our guys satisfied," Malone said. "Man, we just made playoff history, down 3-1, down 3-1 [again]. We've gotten to the Western Conference finals [for] only the second time in franchise history. Take a breath, come up for air. The Lakers aren't coming up for air. They've been waiting.
