Timberwolves dominate Nuggets in blowout win to force Game 7, led by Edwards’ 27 points

In a stunning turn of events, the Minnesota Timberwolves dominated the Denver Nuggets in a 115-70 victory, led by a stellar performance from Anthony Edwards. Edwards, with 27 points, refused to back down against the defending champs, flashing confidence and determination throughout the game.

Jaden McDaniels also made a significant impact with 21 points and strong defensive play, while Mike Conley returned from injury to contribute 13 points. The trio of Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Naz Reid controlled the boards and limited NBA MVP Nikola Jokic to 22 points.

The Wolves’ victory marked the largest winning margin in a postseason game since 2015, showcasing their dominance on both ends of the court. Edwards, after the game, credited the team’s belief in themselves for the turnaround after a series of disappointing performances.

The decisive Game 7 will take place in Denver, with Edwards fulfilling his promise to a Nuggets staffer after Game 5. The Nuggets struggled to find their rhythm, with Jamal Murray only managing 10 points on 4-for-18 shooting.

Coach Chris Finch praised his team’s effort and emphasized the importance of regaining their edge and swagger. The Wolves’ relentless defense and efficient offense overwhelmed the Nuggets, leading to a historic playoff victory.

As the series heads to a thrilling conclusion, both teams will look to make adjustments and come out on top in what promises to be a fiercely contested Game 7.
