The Denver Nuggets showed their championship spirit in two games against the Timberwolves in Minneapolis. They now head back home with a swing and a mental edge over the T-Wolves. Tonight’s clash at Mile High might be one of the most exciting this season.

We can’t wait to see the T-Wolves’ response following two unexpected losses at home. Anthony Edwards looked reassuring following Game 4, but other of his teammates haven’t been that composed. And how wouldn’t they when Denver completely saw through their plans, reading their game and killing the morale.
Ant was astonishing with 44 points, hitting five threes and having five assists and boards. Unfortunately, the other T-Wolves players weren’t anywhere near. The one thing that certainly hurt this unit was the frontcourt’s poor productivity, with Gobert, KAT, and Reid scoring 33 points, two fewer than Jokic alone.

Now, when talking about Jokic, we need to say that he had 35 points, 15-for-26 from the field, seven boards, and assists. The Serbian center’s ability to dictate the pace on the floor was magnificent, and he once again showed his ability to boss around in crucial moments.
However, the Joker had massive help from Aaron Gordon, who had his best game in the playoffs, missing just one of his 12 field goal attempts, totaling 27 buckets. Apart from that, Gordon had seven rebounds and six assists. Jamal Murray scored 19 and dished eight dimes, hitting one buzzer-beater at the end of the halftime.
