Denver finished off the Minnesota Timberwolves in 5 games. It also took 5 games for the Phoenix Suns to eliminate the Los Angeles Clippers. The Nuggets were the #1 team in the Western Conference this season. Denver entered the playoffs on a downslide and dealt with injuries also. During their first round series against Minnesota, the Nuggets looked like the team we saw most of the season. Can they continue that play against a much tougher opponent? Phoenix…
