Minnesota Timberwolves Continue to Shock NBA Fans with Strong 2-0 Series Lead vs Nuggets

Edwards and Towns were the most impressive players for the Timberwolves throughout their 106-80 triumph. They were able to impose their will on the game, both finishing with 27 points apiece.

KAT more than held his own down low, grabbing 12 rebounds, notching one steal, and rejecting one shot attempt. Meanwhile, Ant-Man continues showing his two-way versatility with two boards, seven dimes, and two steals.

The key factor for the team’s Game 2 win is the incredible performance of the supporting cast. Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 14 points each from the bench,  ensuring that the team would remain on the lead even if the team had to sit out either of their star players.

Denver continues to struggle to find a vein of form in Game 2

On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets were struggling to make their shot against Minnesota. Nikola Jokic was noticeably struggling against the Timberwolves, finishing the night with only 16 points on 5-for-13 shooting.

However, no one takes more responsibility for the team’s loss than Jamal Murray. The Blue Arrow had an impotent shooting night, finishing with only eight points on an abysmal 3-for-18 shooting and sinking none of his four three-point attempts.

The Nuggets have plenty of issues to address ahead of Game 3. What makes things worse is that they’ll now play the next two games of the series in front of a hostile crowd and a supremely confident Anthony Edwards.
