The Denver Nuggets are no strangers to having their backs against the wall. After making two 3-1 series comebacks in the 2020 NBA Playoffs, Denver is a team that can never truly be counted out.
However, following a 116-102 loss to the Phoenix Suns in Game 3 Friday night, Denver is down 3-0 in this Western Conference semifinals series. No team in NBA history has ever come back from such a deficit.
