Chet Holmgren cut off Jamal Murray with the dribble and then couldn’t figure out where he needed to get matched up. Gave up a wide open corner 3 to Aaron Gordon as a result. Happens every now and then to any team, but that felt like another one of those young team mishaps – 12:48 AM

It has been a month since the Nuggets’ “Cold War” ended, and since I was around them in person, so it was vibe check time. The verdict? Quite good – especially after Monday.

More on this storyline
The Nuggets have been frequently linked with Timberwolves executive Matt Lloyd, who works in Minnesota under Tim Connelly after Connelly drafted Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray in Denver. Yet league sources say that the Nuggets are also expected to weigh whether to elevate interim GM Ben Tenzer, who has been part of Denver’s front office for more than a decade, to the full-time post. -via marcstein.substack.com / May 9, 2025

When you study film, who are the players you try to emulate? Cayden Boozer: Jamal Murray, Shai, Jalen Brunson, Devin Booker – just the best guards. I’m just trying to steal from everyone, even Jrue Holiday, a really good defender. Just trying to steal from everyone a little bit, but be the best version of myself. At the end of the day, I wanna be the first Cayden Boozer, not the upcoming of somebody else. So just trying to steal from all the greats. -via HoopsHype / May 7, 2025
