Denver coach George Karl said Sunday that the first three games of the series were so close, viewers at home watching without a scoreboard, may not have been able to tell who won the game.

“If you didn’t have a scoreboard, took all three games and put them out there and say who won, I don’t know, I think most people it would be a tossup,” Karl said.

Then he went quite a bit further.

“People would say I think Denver played better,” Karl said. “If you saw it again, what I’m saying don’t put a scoreboard on, just watch the games, I think you would think we were a better team.”
