Tidbit from #Nuggets sideline reporter Vic Lombardi:
Phil Jackson (13 NBA championship rings) said that a championship team needs to win 40 games before it loses 20, and those numbers hold up. Not counting the bubble year, which had fewer games, 36 of the last 39 #NBA champs indeed matched the Jackson standard.
If #Denver holds onto its 24-point lead, it will be 40-19. @nba
