The Minnesota Timberwolves brought the 🔥 on Thursday night, bulldozing the Denver Nuggets with a staggering 115-70 victory in Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference semifinals at the Target Center in Minneapolis. With this epic win, the series is now tied 3-3, setting the stage for a nail-biting Game 7!
The Nuggets were ice-cold ❄️, hitting a franchise postseason low of just 70 points. This 45-point blowout isn't just any loss—it's their worst in playoff history! Since Nikola Jokic joined the squad in the 2015-16 season, they've never stumbled this hard.
Believe it or not, things could've been even uglier for Denver. They faced a jaw-dropping 50-point deficit (114-64) in the fourth quarter. 😱 The game felt over long before the final buzzer. It all started when the Nuggets jumped to a 9-2 lead, but the Timberwolves answered with a massive 20-0 run that left Denver reeling.
Down by 17 points (31-14) after just one quarter, coach Michael Malone kept Jokic on the floor to try and stem the tide. But even the Joker couldn't pull a trick out of the hat this time. 🎩✨
As we head into Game 7, the momentum is all with the Timberwolves. Can they keep the energy up and clinch the series? Or will the Nuggets bounce back and defy the odds? Stay tuned, basketball fans! 🏀🌟
