The Minnesota Timberwolves dominated the Denver Nuggets in the first two games of their playoff series, winning both at Denver. Despite missing Rudy Gobert in Game 2, the Wolves' defense stifled the Nuggets, holding them to their lowest point total in six years. Their offensive versatility and improved decision-making, especially from Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns, have made them a surprising contender.
  • Nuggets scored only 80 points in Game 2, their lowest in 6 years.
  • Jamal Murray struggled, shooting 9/32 for the series.
  • Anthony Edwards' performance has been outstanding.
  • Wolves' improved offense ranks #1 in playoffs.
  • Nuggets' offensive struggles inside the arc a key factor in losses.
