Jaden McDaniels talked the talk, then nuked the Nuggets.

After sending shock waves through the NBA by saying of Denver, "they're all bad defenders," McDaniels and his Minnesota Timberwolves teammates railroaded Nikola Jokic and company to the rim in a wire-to-wire 113-96 blowout to take a 2-1 first round series lead on Thursday night.

How was it so easy? Will Minnesota take the title wave of momentum into the second round with ease, or are there signs Jokic can thrust revenge on Rudy Goebert and send the NBA's wildest and most riveting rivalry back to Denver tied at 2-2?

Our Happy Hour trio of Timberwolves talkers revel in the Game 3 thrills while breaking down where this series may head.

The Wolves have so powerfully emerged the last two games, it even made our panel ponder if McDaniels and others the Wolves were willing to trade to Milwaukee for the "Greek Freak" before the Feb. 5 trade deadline have earned their spurs and shut down any speculation of said trade ever happening in the future.

Will it continue to be a runaway romp or will a possible return of Aaron Gordon, who sat out Game 3, change the complexion of the Nuggets and the series?

Isn't it fun to have the regional NBA team turning heads and making waves in April again?
