Al Jazeera
Timberwolves came back from 20 points down to win the series 4-3 against MVP Nicola Jokic’s Nuggets.
The Minnesota Timberwolves authored a stunning second-half comeback to beat the Denver Nuggets 98-90, knocking the defending champions out of the NBA playoffs.
It marked the sixth straight season that the defending champions failed to make it out of the second round.
“The teams are more hungry, better, [more] talented than last year,” Denver star Nikola Jokic said of the difficulty of repeating, even in a season in which he scooped a third Most Valuable Player award.
“Everybody gets better. Everybody wants to beat us, probably.”
The Timberwolves followed up a 45-point Game 6 victory with an epic comeback from 20 points down in the third quarter to win their best-of-seven series 4-3 and book a Western Conference finals clash with the Dallas Mavericks.
