The Playoff Scene in the NBA West is starting to look like those March Madness Brackets. The Denver Nuggets go into Oracle Arena and shock Dub Nation and Dubs to put them on Code Red Alert for Winning Time. This was after the Mavs fell to the Spurs to drop them from #7 to #8 as the Warriors lead the #7 Suns by a game.

The Wariors knowing if they win they clinch the #6 seed had a 47-27 lead with just under five minutes to go in the 2nd frame. That's when the Nugs running on fumes reached back for the Jet Packets as Russian National Basketball Team Member Timofey Mozgov, the MAN-imal, and Foye Boy all punched the clock for Overtime Work.

The Nugs trailing just 53-43 at the break cut that lead to two 75-73 after three. With "MO" on the Nugs side and Mozgov (29 rebs) getting his inner-Ben Wallace on the Nugs went back and forth trading blows with the Nugs as Steph Curry made it 99-98 Warriors with 4.7 seconds remaining. The Nugs drew up a play that looked to be for Randy Foye but Kenneth Faried took the shot in the paint a Turnaround "J" for the "W" with .5 seconds remaining as a stunned Dub Nation went silent!

Mozgov goes for 29 rebounds and twenty-three points as the MAN-imal added 18 points and seventeen boards with Foye netting 20. The Warriors were led by Curry's 24 points and Klay-T's 21 points with JO7 adding 12 points and Jordan Crawford 10 points as this is a bad loss for G.S.W. moving forward as they last played on Sunday.

Nugs are out of the Playoffs but the Warriors must win out to even get into Winning time as nothing is etched in stone as we go to press.
