Behind a dominating second half performance by Anthony Edwards and clutch plays from Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaden McDaniels, the Minnesota Timberwolves overcame a 20-point deficit to defeat the reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets 98-90 in Game 7 of their first-round playoff matchup. The Wolves' historic comeback, fueled by their stingy defense, marks their first trip to the Western Conference finals in 20 years. With their sights now set on the Dallas Mavericks, the Wolves are proving to be formidable contenders in this year's NBA playoffs.
In a highly-anticipated rematch of last year's playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves shocked the Denver Nuggets with a 106-99 victory in Game 1 of the second round. Led by a playoff-career-high 43 points from Anthony Edwards, the Wolves drew first blood on the reigning champions. With the pressure now on the Nuggets, they will have to bounce back in Game 2 if they want to even the series before heading to Minnesota.
