The Nuggets say they’ve moved past the in-fighting and bickering that overshadowed their ugly Game 2 loss Monday night in San Francisco.
“That was out of the system before we got on that plane in Golden State,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after Wednesday’s practice, and ahead of Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Warriors on Thursday night.
Amid Golden State’s 44-point, third-quarter eruption, cameras caught DeMarcus Cousins and Will Barton jawing at each other on Denver’s sideline.
Numerous players said the incident stemmed from the frustration of getting embarrassed and was, ultimately, coming from a good place.
