The Grizzlies’ Tank Job and the Nuggets’ Effortless Win

There are three best players. Walter Clayton, Cedric Coward, Taylor Hendricks, who had big first halves and were a reason they were up in the first half. Walter Clayton finishes the game with a plus 14. So what happens is those guys start the game and play really well. Yeah. The third quarter starts, they're on the court again and still playing well. Two minutes into the third quarter, those three go to the bench.
