Underdog Timberwolves Shock Nuggets, Setting Up Epic Showdown with Spurs in Western Semifinals
The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t need to be 100% to finish off the Denver Nuggets.
Despite missing their starting backcourt and more, the T-Wolves beat Denver 110-98 in Game 6 on Thursday to end their first-round series. They will face the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
Minnesota certainly had to earn it. No team led by double-digits until the final minute of the game which was also the sort where homecourt advantage seemed to make a difference at Target Center.
Anthony Edwards’ absence could have loomed large in crunch time, but then Jaden McDaniels stepped up. There might not have been a more impactful player on the floor than McDaniels, who finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 0 turnovers while persistently bothering the Nuggets on defense.
