The Denver Nuggets lost to the Indiana Pacers 120-125 in the 2024-2025 NBA regular league held at the Denver Ball Arena on Sunday (Korea Standard Time). Due to the loss, the team lost four consecutive games.
Denver has cruised this season. Nikola Jokic (211 cm, C), who has recorded a triple-double this season, has been very active this season as well. His presence made the team special. As a result, Denver continued to compete for the top seeds this season as well.
In addition, veteran Russell Westbrook (191cm, G) performed better than expected. In particular, Westbrook showed leadership even when key players were absent, making Jokic's shoulders light.
Recently, however, Denver faced a crisis. It lost four straight games. It once aimed for the second place in the West, but lost consecutive games. Now, it has to worry about the play-in tournament, not the top seeds. It is only 0.5 game away from the eighth-ranked Memphis Grizzlies.
The losing process was also regrettable. The team continued its second playoff against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the starting point of its four-game losing streak. Jokic had 61 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. However, Westbrook gave up the game with the final disappointing decision. Since then, the team has come from behind to lose the game. Since then, it has not been able to overcome the Golden State Warriors' barrier.
Indiana was the team that met at the crossroads of four consecutive losses. Indiana is also in contention for ranking. However, the team lacked Pascal Siakam (206 centimeters, F), the second option. However, Denver failed to catch even Indiana. As a result, the team slid to fourth place.
Denver is facing the biggest crisis of the season. So, what do you think of the team? Westbrook was asked, "Does your team members feel a sense of crisis at the moment?" However, he replied, "I'm not sure. I'm not sure."
One of the biggest advantages of Denver is its locker room atmosphere. Veteran players lead the team, while young players add vitality to the team. As a result, Westbrook's answer helped to determine the current mood of the team. After the game, Peyton Watson (201cm, G) and Aaron Gordon (203cm, F) had an argument. Denver has lost the mood even at a time of crisis.
Denver will take a two-day break and then go on an away trip to Sacramento. Attention is focusing on whether the team will be able to overcome the crisis by dispelling the mood of the team. 메이저사이트
