SAN FRANCISCO – In the raw, emotional aftermath of the Nuggets’ humbling Game 2 loss to Golden State, nothing was off limits.
Monte Morris said Monday’s 20-point drubbing led to an honest postgame locker room where “everybody gave their piece.”
There was frustration from reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, who was ejected five minutes into the fourth quarter for disputing a non-call.
“I think I got fouled in the moment because I heard the slap,” said Jokic, who was spared watching the end of the 126-106 embarrassment that dropped the Nuggets into a 2-0 hole.
And then there was the public in-fighting between Will Barton and DeMarcus Cousins that suggested a fraying fabric amid the Nuggets’ tight-knit locker room.
