MILWAUKEE — Will Barton sat in the locker room after the Nuggets' latest loss, let the question soak in and just shook his head.
What has been going wrong in the third quarter during the Nuggets current six-game losing streak?
The issue, which a week ago started out mildly irritating, has become flat-out maddening.
"Our first halves have been very good during this losing streak," Barton said. "But the third quarter ... it's so depressing, man."
The Nuggets scored five points in the third quarter of their loss at Dallas on Saturday night.
