With an opportunity to come back and make the playoffs for the first time in five seasons against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the season finale, the Nuggets came up short, losing 112-106 in overtime.
Clearly, the loss is still fresh on Will Barton’s mind, as he made it perfectly clear in his latest Instagram post.

The date in question, April 11th, 2018, is the date of Denver’s loss to Minnesota. Barton had 24 points in that game but his miss on a short floater that would have tied the game with 24 seconds left in the overtime period has clearly gnawed at him the entire summer.
