The Timberwolves 45 Point (115-70) Victory Forces Game 7 Against Denver

The Timberwolves 45 Point (115-70) Victory Forces Game 7 Against Denver

The Minnesota Timberwolves came into Game 6 with their backs against the wall. This was the first must win game of the season as they face elimination. Nikola Jokic is coming off a monster 40 point performance and Minnesota needs to stop him in order to tie this up at 3-3.

Denver started the game on a 9-2 run as the defending champs came out on fire. The Timberwolves took that punch from Denver and countered with a 20-0 run. The Wolves had the ball moving on offense and on the defensive end no one was able to stop them. It was a balanced effort from everyone on the Timberwolves tonight but Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels showed up/showed out on both ends of the floor today. When Jaden McDaniels has his offense going to already add to his defense this team is scary. Jaden McDaniels was making it tough on Jamal Murray as he only finished with 10 points.

 

Jaden McDaniels is the X Factor in this series and Minnesota usually gets their game rolling as a whole when he’s locked in on both ends. Anthony Edwards was special tonight and he was able to get things going offensively. When Anthony Edwards plays at this elite level there’s no team that can stop him. The Nuggets tried to trap him and double him but Ant’s quickness was too much for the Nuggets as he was blowing by the Nuggets tonight. Edward’s and McDaniels combined for 48 points tonight and put on a two way clinic for the Target Center crowd.

The Nuggets just couldn’t get in a rhythm as the Wolves are bringing it back to Denver. Jokic had a decent game with the 22 points. The Timberwolves defense was swarming for Game 6 now they just need to bring that same energy/intensity to Game 7. If Anthony Edwards comes in on mission leading the charge Sunday it can be a long night for the Nuggets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came into this game with the 2-1 lead as they were looking to go up 3-1 in the best of seven series. It was one of those games that was back and forth all night long.

The Denver Nuggets got a huge game from Aaron Gordon who finished with 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. The game plan for the Timberwolves was simple let’s have Aaron Gordon try to beat us. From the looks of it that’s what happened as he was making some tough contested shots all night long. When a player is playing this good on the road all you can do is respect it. Once Gordon got his game going he was playing with confidence and that fed through his team. Every time the Timberwolves were trying to claw back into the game it seemed as though Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray made some tough buckets.

Both Murray and Jokic combined for 54 points on the night but they were making some timely buckets. The Nuggets kept their foot on the gas for every single Timberwolves run as Minnesota just couldn’t break through.

The bright spot for the Minnesota Timberwolves was Anthony Edwards as he was able to put the team on his back. He gave it everything he had tonight in Target Center and needed just a little bit more help from his teammates as they could have pulled off the win. Anthony Edwards was able to score whenever he needed too as he finished with 44 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Timberwolves just needed someone to join him as they were able to make the right adjustments defensively. The Nuggets had just enough lead to keep the Wolves away.

Game 5 will be huge as both teams will look to come out executing at a high level. The Wolves just need someone to help Ant with scoring and they gotta lock in defensively if they want to make this series victory happen.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came into the 2nd round of the playoffs knowing that they had a tough challenge ahead with Denver. The Nuggets are the defending champions and they eliminated the Timberwolves on the way to their 1st NBA Championship. The Wolves started the series on the road with a bang as Anthony Edwards put the team on his back early.

Anthony Edwards was on fire to start the game as he was able to get some easy buckets at the rim early. Once Edwards starting getting that rhythm going then it was going to be a long night for the Nuggets. Edward’s had 13 points in that 1st quarter and was trying to make a statement in this one. On the flip side Michael Porter Jr was able to hit some tough shots in the 1st to keep the Nuggets in the game when it looked like Minnesota was going to pull away. MPJ was able to get the Nuggets offense going and that translated to his teammates starting to play with confidence as well. Nikola Jokic picked up on that trend from MPJ as he started to get some easy looks once Gobert/Towns got in some foul trouble.

On the night Nikola finished with 32 points but it wasn’t enough to get the win as his counter part Jamal Murray was still playing banged up. The Timberwolves made it tough on Murray all night long as he shot 6/14 from the field for only 17 points. It was a quiet 17 points as the Timberwolves threw multiple defenders at Murray it didn’t matter if it was McDaniels, Edwards, or Alexander-Walker. The Wolves made it tough on him with the length tonight and it showed.

Anthony Edwards finished with 43 points tonight and put on a show against the defending champions. You can tell he’s playing with some aggression and revenge on his mind. The way that Anthony Edwards has grown as a playmaker and a scorer this season has been spectacular just like Game 1’s performance. If he can continue to play at this rate some that consistency the Wolves will be able to make some noise.

The 4th quarter was all about TWO WORDS “Naz Reid” as he was able to get his game going after showing some slight frustration. The 6th Man of the Year showed up and finished with a playoff career high 16 points. The Wolves needed all over those points from him as it was a close game down the stretch but this season the Wolves are poised and patient. KAT and Rudy played major parts in the game from a length/defensive standpoint so if the Timberwolves want to leave with a 2-0 advantage back to Minnesota they will need to match that.

Game 2 is on Monday night as the Timberwolves will take their 1-0 lead into that game trying to go back home 2-0. It’s expected that the Wolves are going to see big efforts from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray so they need to just lock in defensively and limit turnovers for that to happen for them.
