Dane Moore: Rudy Gobert when asked if he felt this team was built to beat this Denver team and if they’re prepared for this moment: “I think it’s about us. Obviously, we truly believe that Denver is one of the top teams in this league. But we believe in our abilities. We believe in what we’ve been building and we believe in our goal, which is to win a championship. Obviously, I have a lot of respect for Denver, what they’ve accomplished in the last year and even this year, the season that they’ve had. But we think that we are pretty unique. It’s on us to bring the mindset every day, every night and just to give our best. Like I said, may the best win. But we’re really trying to embrace our moment.”

Katy Winge: I asked Coach Malone what it’s going to require to beat that Minnesota team consistently. “48 minutes” Said there’s a lot of things Denver will try to clean up after Game 1. The biggest concern was the second half defense.

Ryan Blackburn: Michael Porter on the balance between single covering and doubling Anthony Edwards, who took 29 shots tonight: “Any good team has multiple weapons. one thing that makes us successful is that when teams double Joker, we’ve got capable guys that can make shots. Similar with them, if you double Ant, you may be swinging the ball to KAT or Mike Conley or Jaden McDaniels. All capable guys. It’s definitely a balance, and it’s something we’ve gotta look at on film.”
