“It’s not a funeral, guys.


Best out of three. We lost the game. Onto the next.”










Wrapping up the game’s key moments, he said, “We made some shots, so it was good to see the ball go in. That gave us some leg, but we weren’t able to keep it up. Just a rough day at the office. We had our chances, had some opportunities; our defense held up for most of the game. It was just a tough outing.”

Denver Nuggets’ interim head coach blamed back-to-back games for their Game 4 loss


Denver Nuggets’ interim head coach, David Adelman, had no complaints about the boys. According to him, the sluggish offense in the game was primarily due to short rest time between the matchups. For him, the game turned out to be the survival of the fittest, and this time, the Thunder side gained supremacy by demonstrating better resilience and ability to fight. He said:


“I will say that I think both teams are very tired coming off an unbelievably physical overtime battle on a late Friday night. If it affected us, it surely affected them as well.








Both of us had super tired legs, so it was about who’s going to make that final run. When we got up eight, I thought we were making the push, and to their credit, they were the ones to make the final run.”
