Timberwolves Take Control of Series, Put Nuggets in Unfamiliar Position
Anthony Edwards Leads Charge
The Minnesota Timberwolves seized control of their Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets with a decisive 106-99 victory on Saturday. Led by Anthony Edwards' 27 points, the Wolves took advantage of a struggling Nuggets team to put them in an unfamiliar position of trailing in the series.
Nuggets Struggle to Find Rhythm
The Nuggets, who finished the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, looked disoriented and lacked their usual intensity. They shot just 39% from the field and were outrebounded by the Wolves 51-36.
Wolves Seize Home-Court Advantage
With their victory, the Timberwolves have stolen home-court advantage from the Nuggets. They will now return to Minneapolis for Game 3 on Monday with a 2-1 series lead. The Nuggets, who have not lost two consecutive games at home all season, will need to find a way to regain their composure and avoid falling into a deeper hole.
