The List is a film study deep dive on the Denver Nuggets. In today’s edition, Adam Mares looks at the details from game one of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series.

The over-arching takeaway from game one is that the Timberwolves’ starting lineup is built to make life hard on Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, especially when Rudy Gobert is roaming off of Aaron Gordon. However, there are ways to compromise that tactic, especially in transition and after defensive stops. The Nuggets did a poor job of exploiting those details in game one. Can they hone in their focus and execution in game two?
