I was expecting the worst, but was pleasantly infatuated with the energy, effort and heart that was presented in the second half, however, a rookie mistake (they DO happen) led to a tip-in made by Dante Cunningham from Rudy Gay's miss with less than 1 second remaining; 103-102 with Denver falling to the Grizzlies.
This was a learning experience and something to build off of for the injured rattled Denver team. How do I feel??? Pretty damn good.
Wait, what??
