When the Denver Nuggets signed Paul Millsap in the summer of 2017, moments and games like Sunday’s Game 4 were exactly when they envisioned the veteran power forward making his mark on a growing Nuggets team. Down 2-1 in the series and by nearly double-digits late in the first half, the outlook wasn’t too bright for Denver.
Despite a dispiriting Game 3 loss in a fourth overtime, the Nuggets battled mental and physical fatigue to escape with a crucial Game 4 victory and tie the series up at 2-2. What is clear throughout this extended playoff run is that Millsap has impacted his squad both on-and-off the court.
