Nuggets face franchise-shifting questions after a first-round flop vs Timberwolves

Franchise-shifting changes could be in store for the Denver Nuggets after their first-round flop against the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves. The third-seeded Nuggets roared into the playoffs on a 12-game winning streak and took care of Minnesota in Game 1, only to blow a 19-point lead in a Game 2 loss and they never regained the momentum against the more athletic and physical Timberwolves.
The Nuggets led the league in scoring with a 122-point average during the season and only twice did they fail to crack 100 points, a number the Wolves denied them three times at home in the series that ended with Minnesota's 110-98 win in Game 6 on Thursday night.
