15:18 - There's an emotional and physical toll that comes with playing a gritty, grimy, up-and-down 7 game series. Eventually, the Nuggets were bound to have a game like last night's. But don't expect that to happen again.
33:00 - The ONE advantage that the Nuggets have over OKC is they're battle tested. The Nuggets can overcome adversity when their backs are against the wall. OKC hasn't needed to deal with that. If Denver keeps the game close in the 4Q, they have a chance. They probably win.
