Summary

The Denver Nuggets collapsed against the Minnesota Timberwolves, potentially flipping the series. Wes Goldberg and J. Kyle Mann discuss their takeaways from how the Timberwolves are defending Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets and who has the edge going forward. Then they talk about the ways Victor Wembanyama continues to exceed expectations and why the other teams in the West should be worried, and why LeBron James and the Lakers may have the ultimate edge over the Rockets. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks dropped Game 2 to the Atlanta Hawks, revealing some key issues with the team's strategy, specifically how they use Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. Wes Goldberg and Gavin Schall (Locked On Knicks) discuss the mistakes Mike Brown made in Game 2 and what adjustments need to be made in Game 3.
