If the Denver Nuggets are going to win another championship, they will have to play much better than they did on Thursday night.
The Minnesota Timberwolves crushed the champions in Game 6, scoring a jaw-dropping 115-70 victory.
That means that this series all comes down to Sunday when Game 7 will be held in Denver.
On “Undisputed,” Paul Pierce threw his support behind the Nuggets, saying they will bounce back and win it all.
“The defending champs are going to put their armor on for Game 7,” Pierce confidently stated.

Pierce listed the many reasons why the Nuggets were blown out in Thursday’s game.
Their 30% field goal percentage surely didn’t help and the fact that Minnesota’s defense was so strong also got in their way all night long.
Following the massive win, the Timberwolves understandably have all of the momentum now, but will it last?
While some fans think that they will have the upper hand in the next game, there are many obstacles waiting for them.
Game 7 will be held in Denver, which means the crowd will be nearly completely in favor of the Nuggets.
They will be loud and proud and ready to give the Timberwolves headaches.
Additionally, the Nuggets rarely ever have two bad games back-to-back, meaning they will likely be performing much better in Game 7.
Of course, the Nuggets have had two consecutive losses recently against the Timberwolves, so there is a chance that Minnesota can prevail.
It all comes down to this and both teams will be playing harder than ever because they know that the winners will advance to the Western Conference Finals and the losers will go home.
No matter who wins, it’s very unlikely that Sunday’s Game 7 will be a blowout like what fans saw on Thursday.
