Preview: Jokic looks to cement MVP award in final contest against Timberwolves

Do you remember how it felt to lose to the Minnesota Timberwolves four seasons ago?

Denver had fought and scratched their way to six straight wins, and it came down to the final game of the season to decide which team would get to continue on into the playoffs or go home.

Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic took over for the Nuggets in the fourth quarter, but the referees swallowed their whistles when Taj Gibson fouled Jokic with under two seconds left on the clock, sending the game to overtime. Jimmy Butler outscored the Nuggets in the extra period, and that was it — the Nuggets season was over.
