Beautiful night and a reminder that since Oct. 5 2007: 2 — (more) World Series won by the Red Sox 2 — playoff games won by the Rockies
The Rockies just called up a guy who worked at DICK's this winter, per his own LinkedIn
Monforts know we’re all just here for the park… even selling merch now that straight up acknowledges that
Avalanche have not scored a goal in 67 minutes of game time in this series.
Tonight is the 18th elimination game of the Nikola Jokic era (11-6.) He has never won a road elimination game with fans (0-2 -- 2022 @ GSW, 2025 @ OKC.) Does it change tonight? Here we go! (PC: Getty)
Spener Jones is the 16th Nuggets player of the Nikola Jokic era to score 20 points or more in a playoff game. Here's the full list:
Nikola Jokic over the last three quarters: 15 points, 5 for 21, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 turnovers Just not cutting it. Nuggets out-scored by the Wolves 90-60 in that span.
Jamal Murray is the first player in tracked NBA history to hit three half-court shots in the same season. This is according to Basketball Reference's shooting data which begins in 1996-97.
Jamal Murray saying what’s up to former Nuggets Will Barton and Alonzo Gee ahead of his pregame Game 1 workout, both now work for the Wolves. So many layers/connections in this rivalry.
But can Messi do it on a snowy day in Denver? We find out tomorrow!
One of the coolest things the NHL does is celebrate players who take the ice 1,000 times. Brock Nelson joins that club!
DA says the hope is both Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones will play Game 1 but neither is cleared yet. Both are participating in non contact practice.
