The Denver Nuggets will welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Ball Arena for an NBA game on Tuesday. The Denver Nuggets lost 114-108 in their last game over the Timberwolves. Nikola Jokic tied a playoff career high with 43 points and added 11 rebounds and six assists for the Nuggets. “We had an opportunity to close a series,” Jokic said. “We just didn’t. They were fighting. They were desperate. But it is what it is.”
Jamal Murray finished with 19 points and Aaron Gordon scored 14 for Denver, which appeared primed to have a chance to rest before the second round where it would face the winner of the Suns-Clippers series, which Phoenix leads 3-1. The Nuggets were looking to sweep a series for the first time in team history, a fact not lost on this year’s team. “That’s a missed opportunity, but we’re still in the lead, we’ve still got a commanding lead, and we’re going to go back home to our place and do what we need to do,” Murray said.
Edwards took a step forward this year while Towns missed 52 games with a calf strain. He took over the scoring load and produced several electrifying moments for the Timberwolves and was supported by his veteran teammates, who implored the athletic youngster to take control in games. “I know my team. I know they’re counting on me to pick us up,” Edwards said. “That’s just what I do. I feel like in those moments, that’s when I come alive the most.”
The Minnesota Timberwolves on the other hand won 114-108 against the Nuggets in their last game. Anthony Edwards stared straight into his locker after Minnesota’s loss to Denver in Game 3, reflecting on the Timberwolves being on the brink of elimination. Resolute, Edwards told his teammates the Nuggets still needed to win another game and their season wasn’t over. The 21-year-old star made sure Minnesota’s season continued and the series returned to Denver.
Edwards scored 34 points, Karl-Anthony Towns had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Timberwolves beat the Nuggets 114-108 in overtime in Game 4 to avoid elimination Sunday night. “I take pride. I didn’t want to say I got swept,” Edwards said. “And I don’t ever want to say I got swept in my career. So, I definitely took it personally tonight.”
Rudy Gobert added 14 points and 15 rebounds for Minnesota, which held on after Denver scored the final 12 points of regulation to force overtime. Game 5 is Tuesday in Denver. “We show grit,” Towns said. “It’s weird, when our backs are against the wall, we seem to find a way to get a win. It’s great that we got it tonight and we’ve got to do it three more times.”
