Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has described the team’s Game 4 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers as “soft”, saying that the team played “scared” according to Royce Young, ESPN.
As Malone said:
“Our starters were awful. I thought we had some guys that were tentative, that looked a little scared, who played soft … we’re going to have to be a lot better going home.
