Jaden McDaniels embraces the villain role in Denver after Game 5 loss to Nuggets brings boos

Jaden McDaniels got more pushback from the Denver Nuggets and their fans as he heard constant boos from the crowd all evening. All it did was embolden McDaniels, the antagonistic Minnesota Timberwolves forward who's worked his way under the skin of Nuggets Nation through his words and his actions. Following a 125-113 loss to Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Monday night, McDaniels insisted he wouldn't be back in Denver anytime soon.
