Timberwolves from another planet! Chris Finch’s team managed to beat the Nuggets for the second straight match and not only stayed there, but also made a show of strength in the home of last year’s champions NBAwinning 106-80 at the “Ball Arena” and with the second “break”, reached 2-0 for the semifinals of the Western region of the NBA.
Super performance by Anthony Edwards and the Karl-Anthony Townswho took the “wolves” by the hand, each having 27 points, while the team’s defense was again amazing, causing suffocation to the champions.
Naz Reed and Nikale Alexander-Walker each added 14 points. From the Timberwolves Rudy Gober was absentas yesterday his wife gave birth to their first child.
The first scorer for Denver was Aaron Gordon with 20 points, while Nikola Jokic had a “double” but with poor percentages (5/13 shooting) who finished the game with 16 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists. Jamal Murray had 8 points, 3/18 shooting and 13 rebounds.
Now the series moves to Minneapolis, with the Timberwolves having a 6-0 record in the playoffs and they want to get closer to the Western finals (with the winner of the Thunder-Mavericks matchup) with a weapon at home. Game 3 will take place in the early hours of Saturday (04:30).
