Michael Malone, coach of the Denver Nuggets, after the defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves (106-80), during Game 2 of the second round of the NBA playoffs: “I mean, they kicked our asses. So yes, the match got away from us. It will be a challenge. You know, our kids’ body language is not where I think it should be. We just got beat up at home. We were embarrassed in front of our supporters.
The nice thing is that we don’t play on Friday. We have the opportunity to rest and think about what we want to do in the future. I don’t care about anything other than trying to win game three, win the first quarter and build from there. You have to take it a quarter at a time.
