The Minnesota Timberwolves outscored the Denver Nuggets 60-37 in the 2nd half as the Timberwolves defeat the Nuggets in Game 7, 98-90 and advance to the Western Conference Finals. Jaden McDaniels (23 points, 6 rebounds), Karl-Anthony Towns (23 points, 12 rebounds) and Anthony Edwards (16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists) combined for 62 points in the victory, while Jamal Murray (35 points, 4 3pt. FG) and Nikola Jokic (34 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists) combined for 69 for the Nuggets in the losing effort.
Minnesota’s 20 point comeback was the largest in a Game 7 in the play-by-play era (1997-98), passing
Cleveland Cavaliers, 18 points vs Magic (R1, 2024)
Minnesota reaches the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004 when they faced the Lakers (2-4). This is the only other time Minnesota has made it to the Western Conference Finals
This is the 27th time that a team defeated the defending champions after losing to them the postseason prior. Most recently, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers in the 2017 Finals (4-1) after losing to them in the 2016 NBA Finals (3-4).
Karl-Anthony Towns joins Kevin Garnett (2003-04) as the only Timberwolves to go total 200 points and 100 rebounds in a playoff run

Clearly the MVP needs help. Maybe some horses can help them next season.

Denver didn’t wanted to win. There is no other way to put it after they have huge lead and home court advantage. Congratulations to Minnesota I predicted after the first round that the will be in the NBA Finals if they play like that and they now have 50% chances to win the title.

The offense wasn’t quite going well for the Timberwolves w/ many missed attempts behind the arc, but what a great team effort to take down the defending champion…truly amazed!!

we can’t forget that Jamal Murray SUCKED in this series as a whole. Least efficient scoring postseason since JULIAS F’n RANDLE in 2021.

Lol, Denver role players only look good against the Lakers. KCP, Gordon, MPJ, and the others should get traded. Actual trash players, can’t step up on the bigger stages of the league.
