Damn. I expected the Wolves not to lie down without a fight, but I didn't expect them to put on the performance that they did today.

Bring on Game 7!

NBA is whack…. How does a team like Denver lose by 50-60 points in a playoff game 6?

That’s wild

I get the concept of saving it for game 7, but god damned they were down by 50. How do you just flip a switch in less than 48 hours?

WTH happened this game? Just tuned in to check the score. Did everyone on Denver get hurt?

Guess I'll have to turn it back to Arkansas vs aTm.

I think the McDaniels vs.Murray is the key to the series, but you gotta factor in McDaniels D vs Murray too. If McDaniels is going to disrupt against Murray in D AND add on offense the wolves are probably going to win.

The problem for MIN is that if McDaniels doesn’t stop Murray on offense then the Jokic - Murray combo can just score a flurry of points real fast

There have been a ton of blowouts this playoffs. The Knicks series just had a 60 point swing between two games. You used to not see this as often. What happened?

Lakers-Celtics use to blow each other out in the 80s....just to get to game 7s.

Some said it was Stern-scripted.

I think L.A. won by 35 points in Game 3 of the 1984 Finals....

And then Boston won by 25 points or so in Game 5. Eventually went to the inevitable Game 7.

This is, by far, the strangest NBA playoff series I’ve ever seen…

I believe Denver's Murray is throwing games for whatever reason. That performance was abysmal.

Weirdest series. Denver on a 3 game winning streak, so naturally they only put up 70 lol.

Saw this on Twitter after the game:

Jamal Murray's true shooting this postseason is down to 45.8%. That's one of the 10 worst playoff marks in the entire 3-point era (out of 569 players with at least 200 shots in a postseason).

I’m not sure what the deal is. He’s not himself.

Lots of 3s. Some nights the disparity between one team's makes and another team's misses is just that wide.
