The Denver Nuggets are trying not to dwell on how much has changed in their opening-round playoff series against Utah. There will be no sweep of the short-handed Jazz, who are without two injured starters but feeling quite comfortable and confident with the series tied at 1-1. Game 3 is on Friday night and the outlook is considerably different for both teams after Utah’s win in Denver on Monday. The Jazz are thrilled to be tied—and not facing a 2-0 deficit against a team that won the regular season series 3-1.The Nuggets, meanwhile, know they blew a chance at taking command in the series with some sloppy play that allowed the Jazz to achieve the split in Denver.

Williams finished with 33 points and 14 assists while leading the Utah to the win that could be pivotal if the Jazz can win the next two games at home, where they are a notably more difficult team to play. Dantley knows firsthand how rowdy the Utah crowds can get. He played 461 games for the Jazz and his No. 4 was retired by the team three years ago. It hangs in the rafters not far from where Dantley will be at the head of the Nuggets’ bench. Dantley took over when coach George Karl left the team to undergo treatment for neck and throat cancer. Karl is still recovering from the aggressive treatment, but was feeling up to talking a little basketball with Dantley on Wednesday night. Dantley said the two coaches agreed that the Nuggets need to focus on not letting Williams come close to what he did Monday as the Jazz outslugged the Nuggets in the latest round of the Northwest Division rivalry.
