I MEAN THIS IS ONE OF THE
BEST TEAMS WHEN YOU WHEN
YOUR BEST PLAYER IS
STRUGGLING, YOU TALK ABOUT
JADEN. YOU TALK ABOUT KARL.

CONLEY HIT A COUPLE OF
TIMELY THREES. NNAJI. REED

A TOTAL TEAM EFFORT. YOU GOT
TO TAKE YOUR HAT OFF TO
THOSE GUYS WHEN THEY MAN WAS
STRUGGLING. THEY ALL PLAYED
A GREAT, GREAT TEAM EFFORT
AND A GREAT WIN FOR THAT
ORGANIZATION.
>> CAIN TO GO INTO THAT GYM
AND BEAT THE REIGNING
CHAMPIONS THREE TIMES IN THE
SERIES. VINCE I'M SURE
COMING OUT TODAY IN GAME
SEVEN, THEY FELT THAT THEY
COULD WIN ON THE ROAD
BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE
BEFORE.
>> IT'S PROVEN WE'VE DONE IT
BEFORE. WE'VE BEEN HERE. WE
KNOW WHAT IT TAKES. A LOT OF
THEM HAVEN'T BEEN IN THAT
POSITION, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, YOU CAN SEE THEY OOZE
THE CONFIDENCE, INDIVIDUALLY
AND AS A TEAM LIKE, LIKE
CHUCK SAID, THEY THEY WAS A
TEAM EFFORT. AND WHEN YOU'RE
A SUPERSTAR PLAYER AND
YOU'RE GETTING DOUBLED AND
YOU CAN GET OFF THE BALL AND
TRUST AND SEE OTHER GUYS
MAKE PLAYS TO KENNY'S POINT,
PULL YOU ALONG. THAT'S
CONFIDENCE BUILDER GOING
INTO THE NEXT ROUND AGAINST
ANYTHING WE'VE NOW CAN
HANDLE ANY SITUATION AND WIN
.
>> WELL ERNIE YOU YOU MIGHT
HAVE HAD THE STAT OF THE
NIGHT. THE IDO THE NEATO
ERNIE STAT OF THE NIGHT IS
WHEN YOU JUST SAID THEY'VE
WON THREE TIMES IN A SEVEN
GAME SERIES ON THE ROAD. I
DON'T KNOW IF UNDERDOG CAN
FIND. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
HAPPENED MORE THAN TWICE IN
THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL,
WHERE YOU COULD GO IN AND
BEAT NOT ONLY A TEAM, BUT
THE CHAMPS ON THEIR HOME
FLOOR THREE TIMES IN A SEVEN
GAME SERIES. I DON'T KNOW IF
THAT'S HAPPENED MORE THAN
TWICE IN THE HISTORY OF
BASKETBALL.
>> YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M
LOOKING AT THESE STATS,
ERNIE, MINNESOTA WASN'T
PLAYING GREAT, OBVIOUSLY.
BUT THEN YOU LOOK AT THE
STATS, YOU'RE LIKE, OH, THEY
WON A GAME IN THE THIRD
QUARTER. YEAH LIKE THEY THEY
OUTSCORED THEM 28 TO 14. I
MEAN OBVIOUSLY THEY BEAT
THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE IN
THE FOURTH QUARTER. BUT THE
NUGGETS THAT THE THIRD
QUARTER BECAUSE PEOPLE
ALWAYS THINK STUFF HAPPENED
IN THE LAST QUARTER OF A
GAME LOSES THE GAME. BUT
WHEN YOU WHEN YOU GOT A 20
POINT LEAD AND YOU GET
OUTSCORED 2814 BECAUSE BACK
THEN IT'S A IT'S AN EVEN
GAME.
>> YEAH. BUT 37 POINTS.
>> YEAH YEAH YEAH I SAID, I
SAID WAIT A MINUTE. IF YOU
IF YOU'RE UP 20 AT HALFTIME
AND THEN YOU THEY WERE UP
15.5 TIME. EXCUSE ME, AM I
RIGHT?
>> THEY WERE UP 15 AT THE
BREAK. THEY WERE UP 20 EARLY
IN THE THIRD, EARLY IN THE
THIRD.
>> BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER
BECAUSE THEY GOT OUTSCORED
BY 14 IN THE THIRD. SO
THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS TELL
PEOPLE WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG
LEAD AND YOU GIVE IT UP,
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE
FOURTH QUARTER AND THAT'S
WHAT HAPPENED.
>> BUT AND THE NOTES I TOOK
AS I'M WATCHING THIS GAME,
SO IT'S TIED AT 72 WITH TEN
MINUTES TO GO. AND THIS AND
THIS JUST POINTS OUT, YOU
KNOW, SPREADING THE WEALTH
THAT THERE WERE SO MANY GUYS
WHO WERE INVOLVED IN HOW
MINNESOTA WON THIS GAME. SO
WHAT HAPPENS? CONLEY 3'
GOBERT TWO FREE THROWS.
GOBERT HITS THAT CRAZY J
JAYDEN MCDANIELS A COUPLE OF
FREE THROWS. GOBERT TWO MORE
FREE THROWS THAT HE HIT NAS
REID. NAS REID FREE THROWS

COURSE OF THAT RUN BUT HE'S
MAKING THINGS HAPPEN. BUT

IMPRESSIVE WAS.
>> BUT ONE THING THAT REALLY
HURT THE NUGGETS YOU'RE BACK
LOOK I THEY GOT THE NUGGETS
COMMITTED LIKE FIVE FOULS
LIKE THE FIRST THREE MINUTES
OF THE THIRD QUARTER. YEAH.
THAT'S WHY THEY STARTED
GETTING ALL THOSE FREE
THROWS.
>> AND YOU ALSO LOOK AT
THIS. THE STAT TWO GUYS
SCORED IN DOUBLE FIGURES.
THAT'S IT. SO THEY DIDN'T
GET ANY OTHERS. THEY HAD 35
AND 34. EVERYBODY ELSE
SINGLE DIGITS.
>> WOW SEVEN FOR SIX AND
FIVE. YEAH
>> SO EVEN THE DOUBLE TEAMS
WERE COMING. YOU WEREN'T
GETTING THE PRODUCTION
ELSEWHERE TO KIND OF PULL
THEM ALONG LIKE KENNY WAS
SAYING.
>> MICHAEL PORTER SEVEN
POINTS ON THREE OF 12, AARON
GORDON FOUR ON TWO OF FIVE.
KCP FIVE ON TWO OF SEVEN.
FIVE BENCH POINTS TOTAL ALL
BY CHRISTIAN BROWN. AND
MINNESOTA ADVANCES. AND THAT
