Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves 115-107

The Denver Nuggets faced off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a thrilling match that ended with a final score of 115-107 in favor of the Nuggets. The game was filled with intense moments and impressive plays from both teams, but ultimately it was the Nuggets who emerged victorious.

The Nuggets were led by their star player, Nikola Jokic, who put up an outstanding performance with 26 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists. Jokic's dominant presence on the court helped propel his team to victory and solidify their position as one of the top contenders in the league.

In a seven-game series featuring two championship contenders, the margin for error and attention to detail take on greater importance.

    The Minnesota Timberwolves had the opportunity of all opportunities, up 2-0 against the Denver Nuggets after taking both games in Denver to start their Western Conference semifinals series. All the Timberwolves had to do was win one game at home for a tough-to-overcome 3-1 lead.

    One of the differences in Game 4, though, was Jokic got help from his supporting cast while Anthony Edwards (44 points) was mostly a one-man show on offense for the WolvesMike Conley had 15 points while Karl-Anthony Towns picked a bad time to play perhaps his worst game of the postseason with 13 points on 5-for-18 shooting. Towns went 1-for-10 in the first half.

    Aaron Gordon finished with 27 points on 11-for-12 shooting for Denver, and that's especially disappointing for the Wolves defense because they prefer to play off Gordon to help on Jokic.

    Jamal Murray finished with 19 points, including a shot from just beyond half court that capped a 8-0 Denver gut punch to end the first half.

    The Wolves showed off their league-best defense and their enviable depth in the first two games, but the Nuggets copied and pasted that formula on the road. When the Nuggets' secondary scorers and bench players are hitting their jumpers, they're awfully tough to beat.

    Gordon, Justin Holiday (10 points), Christian Braun (11 points) and Reggie Jackson (six points) went a combined 8-for-11 from 3-point range. They fueled a 26-4 run that bridged the first and second quarters, and all but five points on that surge came with the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Gobert resting on the bench.
