Is Denver dead? Also: Knicks Escape With a Win and Game 1 Preview.

Verno and KOC prevail against the Timberwolves, destroying the Nuggets and taking a 2-0 lead (1:03). They discuss the Wolves’ stingy defense on the shortened bench of Jamal Murray and Chris Finch and whether the Nuggets have any chance of coming back. The Knicks were fortunate to pick up a win in Game 1 against the Pacers, and the boys are debating whether the rest of the series will be just as competitive and whether Tom Thibodeau can sustain the extended minutes of his starters (31:34). They also discuss Donovan Mitchell’s importance to the Cavs as they face the Celtics and share their excitement for the Thunder-Mavs series (45:29).
