On today’s show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson of MinnPost to discuss just an excellent basketball game in Denver on Friday night, featuring perhaps the best center duel we’ve seen in the NBA this season. In addition to discussing the Towns and Jokic matchup, we discuss the role the surrounding pieces enhanced the game — or in the case of the Nuggets, hurt their changes of coming out with the win. We bounce around quite a bit, but here are a few of the topics we hit on:

— KAT’s internal belief that he can take Jokic

— The surrounding contributions of not only Edwards and Russell, but also the critical role Jordan McLaughlin and Taurean Prince played in the win

— The difference between the play-in and getting the six seed

— Britt’s most recent column on three concerns that linger as the season comes to a close
