It is less than 24 hours from the Nuggets’ biggest game of the season, but one couldn’t tell from the vibe at team practice on Saturday afternoon.
The Western Conference semifinals hasn’t been short of drama as there’s plenty of tense moments that have all culminated in Sunday’s Game 7 finale. But at Pepsi Center’s practice courts, the atmosphere was overwhelmingly loose. Players were joking around while the coaches and front office executives were all smiles. One player who appeared particularly confident was Monte Morris. He took on Will Barton, Torrey Craig and Brandon Goodwin in a three-point contest at the end of practice.
