On a chilly evening in Minneapolis, the Timberwolves squared off against the Nuggets in a highly anticipated matchup. The game was marked by intense competition and skillful plays from both teams.
The Timberwolves came out strong in the first quarter, establishing an early lead with their sharp shooting and solid defense. Karl-Anthony Towns led the charge with his dominant presence in the paint, scoring crucial points and grabbing key rebounds.
The Wolves skillfully forced a Game 7 after Thursday's 45-point victory over the reigning NBA champs. Anthony Edwards' Timberwolves team has one more game to try to oust Nikola Jokic's Nuggets from the playoffs.
This is a don't-miss game. Keep reading to find out how and when to watch the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Game 7 today.
The win gave the Timberwolves the NBA Western Conference semifinal series four games to three, and sent them to the conference finals against Dallas in a series that starts Wednesday night at Target Center.
In the ultimate test of their mental fortitude, a team that got tossed out of the playoffs last season in five games by this same team came back from a 20-point second-half deficit on their home floor.
The Nuggets are a machine. This is the sixth consecutive year they've made it to the playoffs, and they're the defending champions. The duo of Jamal Murray and three-time MVP Nikola Jokić is borderline unstoppable. As a franchise they're 4-3 in Game 7's, but this core group of players is 3-1. They've got the experience and the talent.
But don't look now, the Timberwolves are coming. They've made the playoff three years in a row. Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns are coming into their own. The vibes are impeccable. They've even made Rudy Gobert likable!
"I just want these guys to understand, I don't think they understand what they just did," the 36-year-old Conley said. "Accomplishing what they have and getting to the West Conference finals is a great opportunity. Don't take it for granted. Celebrate the moment now, but be ready to go. You have another team waiting for you. Everybody's in the way of your goals, so you have to be ready to go."
The Timberwolves will face the Dallas Mavericks for the right to represent the West in the NBA Finals. Minnesota will host Game 1 on Wednesday.
