After the game, the Nuggets coach Malone spoke to the media to express the disappointment of the team’s performance. Malone said: “The Timberwolves with great length and strong physical play, to create a lot of trouble for us, although Gordon was injured, but this is not the reason for our loss,” he stressed that the Nuggets in the face of the Timberwolves appeared inadequate, the opponent’s advantage in the game has been fully reflected.
“It’s not just about pride,” Malone said of the game’s impact on his team’s self-esteem. We were down 3-0 against the Timberwolves, which was disappointing. They beat us three times in the playoffs last year on our home court, too, and that feeling of losing again really stung.” Despite the losing streak, Malone did not give up hope. He revealed that the Nuggets will have another chance to play the Timberwolves this season, and that will be in a home game on April 2 at 10 a.m. Beijing time. “We still have a chance to play against them,” Malone said. “I’m sure the team will go all out to try to get back to winning in the final game.” In the face of the upcoming showdown, Malone and the Nuggets will summarize their experience, adjust their tactics, and strive to bring a win for the fans at home.
