To win like that without Ant scoring much is impressive as hell. Wolves a problem. Mavs and Wolves gonna be fun.

Towns deserves alot of credit.

They still need to win two more series, but it would be hilarious if both Towns and Wiggins rang before Jimmy Butler.

Beautiful. Not the outcome I expected as I watched midway through the second half, but a welcomed one. The Timberwolves are the team I'm pulling for the rest of the way.

With Denver out now it'll be six straight seasons of a different NBA champion

Gobert along with Towns won them that game. and Jokic playing that much reared it's ugly head at the end. they got those Orebs because he was just gone spent. if mpj and Aaron Gordon just have a normal scoring game this is a wrap but Denver got no production outside it's top 2. people said all year that Denver can still win without shooting variance because of Jokic but they were a poor 3 point shooting team all playoffs and it finally costed them.

Nuggets gotta do something with MPJ, he's talented and can get hot quick but I don't think he's reliable enough to be their #3. Settles for too many jumpers way too often

I like Braun a lot for them, he was a magnet on Edwards all night tonight. But their lack of depth showed this series with Jokic and Murray getting gassed or going cold. They really need a decent backup big especially when going against a frontcourt as loaded as Minnesota

As much as Gobert got clowned this series for failing to lock up the best player in the league on some post-ups, he finished a +51 in 6 games in the series. His FT shooting has come a long way, once Minnesota started getting him more involved in the second half their offense opened up tremendously

I thought he was looking shaky but in the 2nd half he was critical for them and saved antman from some serious discussions being had lol. that shot at end of the clock when they were up 2 i think was the game personally. that's just a backbreaker.

Doesn't sound as pronounced in isolation but the sound that came out the arena on that shot was different than anything else I heard all night. Took the life right out of the arena.

They really missed Jeff Green for a game/series like this one.

Bruce Brown especially too. Really missed his energy

Maybe loudmouth Draymond will talk more nonsense so Minnesota can keep winning?
