Malone blasts 'unacceptable' Nuggets extras in 'the Anthony Edwards show'

Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone rued ill-disciplined defending in defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves

00:00 I mean first half they had 40 points on 36 from the field and we got back in the

00:06 game by getting stops and becoming more physical. I thought a bench had a lot to

00:10 do with that. The reggie was outstanding. Justin Holliday, Christian Brown but then

00:16 in that third quarter I think at one point they might have shot like 90% that

00:19 quarter. Miles Reed got going, Carl Anthony Towns got going, Mike Conley got

00:25 going, where Anthony Edwards carried the day in that first half but second half I

00:30 just felt not nearly enough discipline and physicality and they were able to

00:38 get whatever they wanted. 71% in the second half of the playoff game was

00:41 unacceptable. He is a great player and I think at halftime he had 25 and no one

00:47 else really got going so was Anthony Edwards show but we're up and then what

00:51 you worry about in that third quarter I don't have any points he scored in that

00:54 third quarter but I know Carl got going and the other guys got going and that's

00:58 when they become really dangerous because now you have three scores four

01:02 scores and that can't be the case.
