Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

Welcome on back.

Welcome on in to your locked on Nuggets postcast right here on your

Lockdown Nuggets YouTube channel.

And audio feed as the Denver Nuggets do what they needed to do,

they stay alive and take care of business here in game five,

beating the Minnesota Timberwolves by a final score of 125 to 113.
