Denver can cover this up

Denver lost home court advantage in the NBA’s championship round, its role players lost a little dignity in the process, Nikola Jokic lost five turnovers in the loss. Denver took the dent, but this one buffs out.

Miami kicked a little tail in Game 2, hounded shooters, turned Nugget cutters into Denver pedestrians, made open looks on the other end. Miami didn’t spend the evening running downhill on offense, Denver’s offense thudded out enough buckets, Miami had to dig the ball out of the goal and figure it out on its own.
