  Speaker 1: Winning it for the Nuggets. Game one of the Western
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Conference Semis. Listen to Iron Eagle. It runs out crown,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: crunch it seven seconds left west. For five seconds they're
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: telling about.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: What Corton got it. Aaron George with a dick shot.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Williams may, No, God.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: The Nuggets steal game one.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: That's a winner. What do you guys celebrate?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: We think you think them in.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: His game, You think of what a game, what that is?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable, unbelievable. Denver Nuggets won twenty one to one,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: nineteen and a game that they hadn't led since the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: first quarter, twenty four to twenty two. And man, it
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: just was one of those games where you know they
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: would pull within five and then it would be double
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: bidgets again, and he just got this feeling like there's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: not going to get over the hump. And then Holmburn
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: misses two free throws and Aaron Gordon makes him pay.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it was it was very similar to the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: first game with the Knicks. You know, they they were
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: down twenty and it kept chipping away, chipping away. But
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you know when Yokich was in the game, they stayed
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: aggressive and he didn't really come out in the second half,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and so they just stayed aggressive, stayed in it. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: then Boat moved by the young coach Adelman, you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: not bringing back Porter Junior and keeping Brown in the game,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: because that could have been the same shot that Gordon's shot,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that could have been.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Brown Porter shot.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: So to keep him out of the game for the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: last four minutes at a game, Gutsy moved by the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: young coach, pays off.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's forty eight hours separating. You play a series
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that goes to the full seven. You have this emotional
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Game seven in your gym, and all of a sudden,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: two nights later, you're playing the number one seed and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you come up with an effort like this.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: You know, I think I think okayc had to break
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: their focus. What I mean by that, when you're at
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: such a high and you have a long layoff, it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: hard to be like this for five days. You don't
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: know who you play, so you have to break the
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: focus and then bring it back. You know, Denver was focused,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: they knew who they had, they knew what they had
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: to do, and you know, the Joker played a great game.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Everybody played a great game, and they just kept fighting,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: just kept fighting, kept chipping away. You know, one of
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: my favorite the same in sports is you never know
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: what could happen. Hackersheed happened, he missed two free throws,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Russell Westbrook with a great play right there, and my
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: man just knocking down the shot. Now they steal game one.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Now they have to be greedy because okay, see this
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: is their first time facing some adverts like that. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: know they're gonna come back super focused and be looking
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: to blow this team out. But Denver did a great
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: job and I was great. It was a fantastic game.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You know, Aaron Gorhan is going to get some well
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: deserve praise. But man, this Joker, dude man forty two
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: twenty two and six and six. I mean, it's amazing, man,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: he had because the game was over until you hit
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the three, because it was still a two possession game
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and he hit that three from the top of the key.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But this is amazing, man, Yeah, I mean he's amazing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Forty forty twenty and five. You know, Ernie, though, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: will think I would.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Say it's the fifth time he's in fact, fifth time
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he's had a thirty twenty and five, tying him with Kareem,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but now that company with a forty twenty and five.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I also think there was To me, it's something questionable.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You know, everyone talked about the file when you're up three.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I just thought they started.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: That file too early, so meaning it was thirteen seconds
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: on the clock. I think you should file with less
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: than ten or eight less than eight to go. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: just thought they gave him too many times where you
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: had to make free throws yourself, because you're also putting
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the pressure on yourself just like you're putting the pressure
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: on them. So I thought it was a little bit
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: too early. Then one time they took the ball out
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and on the other end and they filed in the backcourt.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: They didn't allow him bring it over half court. So
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: they didn't really have great clock management either. Okay, see
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: down the stretch, But just a great, great game was that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I remember that play because that allowed Joking to get back,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and that allowed Joking to get back, and I read it,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: don't I disagree. I think it just like everything worked
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: out perfectly, except he just missed both free throws.
