3 indisputable facts
1. 45 points is the worst loss in the history of the Nuggets, and 70 points is the lowest score in a single playoff game in the history of the Nuggets
In an NBA playoff game that ended today, the Nuggets suffered a miserable loss on the road, losing to the Timberwolves with a score of 70-115, resulting in a series tie of 3-3 between the two sides.
According to detailed data analysis, the Nuggets set two embarrassing playoff records in team history in this game. First, they lost by a whopping 45 points, the heaviest loss in the Nuggets' history of the playoffs. Secondly, the Nuggets' 70-point score also became the lowest single-game score in the playoffs in team history, which is undoubtedly a big surprise.
Looking back at the Nuggets' history, the previous record for the largest loss in a playoff game was 44 points, a record that occurred in 1985 when they lost 109-153 against the Lakers. The lowest score in a playoff game in franchise history is 76 points, a record that was set in 2005 when the Nuggets lost 76-104 to the Spurs. However, today's race undoubtedly broke both embarrassing records.
Second, the Timberwolves won by 45 points! The second-largest margin of wins for a team facing elimination in playoff history!
Today, the NBA Western Conference semifinals G6 was hotly staged, and the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets with an astonishing score of 115-70 at home, grabbing a huge advantage of 45 points.
According to detailed statistics, the 45-point margin of this victory is already the second largest winning margin in the history of the NBA playoffs for a team on the verge of elimination! The first place is the shocking 58-point difference record set by the Lakers in 1956!
3. Where did you all come from? The Nuggets have only 2 points off the bench in the normal rotation & only 7 points in 10 minutes of garbage time
In Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs, the Nuggets lost to the Timberwolves with a score of 70-115.
In this crucial game, the Nuggets' bench performance was disappointing. In the first three quarters, they didn't get a single point, and they didn't achieve anything. In normal rotation time, Braun was the only one who struggled to score two points with a dunk. In the 9 minutes and 52 seconds of garbage time in the game, the bench players only contributed 7 points, unable to save the team's decline. Such a performance was clearly not enough to help the Nuggets win, and it also exposed their lack of roster depth and bench strength.
