Verno and KOC discuss the Wolves’ series lead as well as Tom Thibodeau’s strategy, Donovan Mitchell’s importance to the Cavs, and their excitement for Thunder-Mavs
Verno and KOC go through the Timberwolves blowing out the Nuggets to take a 2-0 series lead (1:03). They discuss the Wolves’ stingy defense on Jamal Murray and Chris Finch’s shortened bench, and debate whether the Nuggets stand any chance to come back. The Knicks were lucky to escape with a Game 1 victory against the Pacers, and the guys debate whether the remainder of the series will be just as competitive and if Tom Thibodeau can sustain playing his starters extended minutes (31:34). Also, they discuss Donovan Mitchell’s importance to the Cavs as they move on to face the Celtics, as well as share their excitement for the Thunder-Mavs series (45:29).
