NEW YORK — Inspired by a singular mission, Nuggets coach Michael Malone might have set a personal record for sprint time between the locker room and press conference podium Thursday night.
No need for belabored speeches after losing a 122-84 laugher at Madison Square Garden. Joel Embiid would be waiting soon in Denver. The Nuggets needed to hightail it to the bus, to the plane, to the Front Range.
After their longest stretch away from home all season, they weren’t afforded a breather. Nuggets vs. 76ers, afternoon edition, is this Saturday (3:30 p.m. MT, ABC).
