Analyst Declares NBA Team’s Game 7 Defeat as ‘Most Epic Collapse’ in History

The Denver Nuggets suffered a devastating loss in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, ending their reign as NBA champions. Despite taking a 20-point lead in the third quarter, the Nuggets let the game slip away as the Timberwolves dominated the second half, ultimately winning 98-90.

Emmanuel Acho, speaking on FS1’s “Speak,” called the Nuggets’ Game 7 collapse the “greatest collapse” in Game 7 history, expressing disappointment in the team’s performance. The series started with the Timberwolves winning the first two games in Denver, causing concern among fans and analysts. However, the Nuggets responded by winning the next three games and appeared to be in a good position heading into Game 7.

With Jamal Murray scoring 24 points in the first half and the Nuggets holding a 53-38 lead at halftime, it seemed like Denver was on track to advance to the Western Conference Finals. But Minnesota turned the game around in the third quarter, outscoring the Nuggets and continuing their momentum into the fourth quarter.

Despite efforts from Murray and Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets couldn’t overcome the Timberwolves’ strong defense. Now, the Nuggets face an uncertain offseason as they look to strengthen their bench and retain key players like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who could become a free agent. The loss marks the end of an era for the Nuggets, who will need to regroup and strategize for the future.
