Mark Jackson accused the Denver Nuggets of taking cheap shots at Stephen Curry during the Golden State Warriors' loss in Game 5.

Jackson said that Denver people warned him of what would take place with "inside info".

"They tried to send hit men on Steph," said Jackson. "It wasn't magic, they outplayed us."

Curry agreed that he seemed targeted by the Nuggets.

Kenneth Faried responded to accusations from Jackson with a similar sentiment.

"They play dirty every night. They have targeted me," said Faried.

Curry, visibly frustrated following the game, also engaged in a verbal altercation with a fan while exiting through the tunnel.

Kenneth Faried kicked a hole in the wall of the Denver Nuggets' locker room following the team's 115-101 loss at the Golden STate Warriors in Game 4.

“I hate losing with a passion. I hate losing more than I like winning,” said Faried.

Faried has an injured left foot and he's not sure which one he used.

“I don’t know, I just kicked it, I was mad.”

MILWAUKEE – All season long, Timofey Mozgov has made clear his desire for an increased role in the Denver Nuggets’ rotation. George Karl has trusted Kosta Koufos and JaVale McGee as his two centers, though, and Mozgov has played just 40 games.

At this point, Mozgov wants to deflect his impending free agency to the side and focus on the Nuggets’ playoff run. Mozgov had been expected to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he told RealGM that he hasn’t heard any indication about a possible qualifying offer tender from the Nuggets and isn’t worrying about where he could play next season.

“I don’t want to think right now about what is going on in the summer,” Mozgov said. “Now we have playoff time … games we got to win. It will be a time for [a decision] in the summer.”

Although he continues to sit on the bench, Mozgov hasn’t lost his workout habits – lifting weights, running on a treadmill and working on low-post moves every day. His most playing time this season came in a Jan. 28 win over the Indiana Pacers, when he scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds in 25 minutes.

Mozgov was an integral piece in the Carmelo Anthony trade of 2011, and the 26-year-old center still believes there’s plenty of time to show exactly why.

“I feel confident I can play,” Mozgov said. “I know I can play and I know Coach knows I can play, so I feel confident. I just need some [playing] time.”

The Denver Nuggets will tender center Timofey Mozgov a $3.9 million qualifying offer by the June 30 deadline, according to a source.

The decision will make Mozgov a restricted free agent. Denver will be in position to match any offer sheet signed by the center in order to retain his services.

The source said, "Mozgov is a priority and it will take a lot [for Denver] not to match."

Mozgov is currently Denver's third center, behind Kosta Koufos and JaVale McGee. Koufos and McGee both have guaranteed contracts for the 2013-14 season.

According to Elias Sports, the 2012-13 NBA season is the first in which five different teams have enjoyed win streaks of at least twelve games.

The New York Knicks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, extending their current run to 12 straight wins.

The Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers and Thunder also had streaks of at least 12 wins this season.

An MRI has confirmed that Danilo Gallinari tore the ACL in his left knee during Thursday night's game.

No other ligament or meniscus damage was suffered.

Gallinari will miss the remainder of the season.

Danilo Gallinari is believed to have a torn ACL of his left knee, according to sources.

Gallinari will undergo an MRI on Friday.

"The doctor indicated that the ligament was loose," one source told Yahoo! Sports. "They expect that it's a torn ACL."

Gallinari is averaging 16.3 points and 5.2 rebounds for the Denver Nuggets.

Ty Lawson is confident that the Denver Nuggets "can get to the NBA Finals" and win it all.

After the statement, Lawson was asked if he felt his team could beat the Miami Heat, the presumed favorite to win the championship this season.

"I think so," Lawson said. "They beat us twice early in the year when we weren't really in sync. We were still trying to find ourselves. So I feel like if we play them now it would be a better game and we could actually beat them."

Miami beat Denver twice earlier this season by a combined eight points.

"Teamwork, and we could throw a lot of people at LeBron (James) and (Dwyane Wade), and not just one person," Lawson said. "We can throw (Andre) Iguodala and (Danilo Gallinari) and Corey Brewer and Wilson (Chandler). You can throw so many people at (them). And then we have so many weapons."

The Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra and the Denver Nuggets' George Karl on Monday were named the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Coaches of the Month for March.

Spoelstra led Miami to a league-best 17-1 (.944) record in March, which included 15 straight wins to open the month that pushed the Heat's winning streak to 27 straight games. 

Karl led Denver to a Western Conference-best 13-2 (.867) mark in March, which included wins in the first 12 games of the month, feeding a 15-game winning streak that began on Feb. 23.

Other nominees for Coach of the Month were Dallas' Rick Carlisle, Indiana's Frank Vogel, Memphis' Lionel Hollins and New York's Mike Woodson.
