Troy Renck: A day later, hearts remain in throats, fists remain in a ball. The frustration and disappointment with the Nuggets’ season-ending defeat is palpable. There is no shame in losing to a team as talented as the Minnesota Timberwolves. But the Nuggets did not lose. They choked. No NBA team over the last 25 years has ever squandered a 20-point lead in a Game 7. Worse, the Nuggets were at home, where they have been dominant the past two seasons. It’s hard to think of a more crushing defeat. Maybe the 2012 Broncos falling to the Ravens and Joe “Cool” Flacco?
