NBA releases Nuggets-Suns round 2 schedule

+

The start times for games 5,6, and 7 are undecided, but it is nice to see Denver avoiding early start times. Most teams, including the Nuggets, are creatures of habit, so they should be comfortable with this. On the other hand, games 1-6 declare only one day of rest in between games. Last series, both teams received two days of rest between the games where they traveled. The two teams faced off three times during the regular season. Denver won two of those matchups including a back-to-back in Phoenix. Every game was close. Every game was decided by eight points or fewer including one OT and one 2OT game. Although the Nuggets won the season series, their roster looked completely different back in January. Gary Harris was starting as well as Jamal Murray, and Murray had a heroic effort hitting an incredible three to send a game into overtime.
