Nikola Jokic leads super-sized Nuggets past Timberwolves
Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic (15) and Minnesota Timberwolves’ Naz Reid collide during the first half of an NBA basketball game Thursday, May 13, 2021, in Minneapolis.The Nuggets promised weird. JaVale McGee delivered.
With only four days left in the regular season, the Nuggets started Thursday’s tilt with a supersized front court of McGee and Nikola Jokic. It paved the way for a convincing 114-103 win over Minnesota, improving their record to 46-24 with only two games left.
When the Nuggets suit up against the Pistons on Friday night, there’s no telling who’ll be available. At this time of the year, nothing’s more important than rest.
