ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Avalanche have shown a knack for late-game comebacks over the first six weeks of the season, but Sunday’s rally to start off a three-game trek was something new. NHL scoring leader Mikko Rantanen tallied with 1.3 seconds left in overtime to send Colorado to a 4-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, the team’s first triumph in five trips to the extra period this season. The goal came from a pass by Nathan MacKinnon, whose goal at the end of the second period and shot that was deflected in by Gabe Landeskog a little more than midway through the third period spurred the Avalanche (10-6-4, 24 points) back from a 3-1 deficit. It was the fifth comeback win for Colorado, which plays 12 of its 16 games at home following Wednesday’s game at Los Angeles and Friday’s at Arizona. “We’re kind of a little bit of a roller-coaster in overtime,” head coach Jared Bednar said.

Jamal Murray didn’t want the rest. He’s getting it anyway after Denver blew a 20-point lead in Game 7 against Minnesota on Sunday night and bowed out of the NBA Playoffs well short of his expectations. He wanted to keep grinding through a stubborn calf injury, but instead he’ll get some down time.

Ant-Man didn’t just laugh loudest. He laughed last. “I had Jamal (Murray) in handcuffs,” Anthony Edwards chuckled as he walked the halls of Ball Arena after Minnesota stunned the Nuggets, 98-90, to win Game 7 of their second-round series. You know what stings? He wasn’t wrong. When Jaden McDaniels ran into foul trouble, the Timberwolves’ chatty star relished the task of covering the Nuggets’ best playoff weapon. With 4:49 left on the clock, the Blue Arrow sank a 12-footer to pull the defending NBA champs to with a bucket, 85-82.

Renck: With everything on line, Nuggets choke away 20-point lead in Game 7 loss
Denver Post, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 11:51 PM
The Nuggets paged Dr. Heimlich. In their biggest game of the season, the defending champs choked. It sounds unfair because of the difficulty of repeating, because of the competition, but is not when weighed against history. The Nuggets are the first team to squander a 20-point lead in a Game 7. Wasn’t it bad enough that the Avs broke our hearts on Friday night? There’s no way to overstate how crushing this loss is in context with this team, this time, this place.

From celebration to cataclysmic ouster. You could almost feel the afterparty warming up. The Nuggets came out of the halftime locker room up 15 and promptly pushed their lead to 20. You could see Luka Doncic and Dallas preparing to fly northwest for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Then it all came crashing down.

Nikola Jokic’s expression was either vacant or vengeful, defeated or determined. Staring at the basketball court but maybe beyond it, too, he stood alone on the Target Center baseline and watched the fourth quarter of a historic clobbering without taking his seat on the bench. Was he antsy to jump on the team plane back to Denver to play Game 7 immediately?
