It wouldn’t be the Minnesota way if it wasn’t the hard way.
Down 3-2, facing elimination, the Minnesota Timberwolves returned home to Downtown Minneapolis with their backs against the wall, staring down the threat of a fourth straight loss at the hands of three-time MVP Nikola Jokiu0107 and the defending champion Denver Nuggets. An even-more-gentlemanly sweep after a 2-0 series lead would be a nightmarish end to what has been an incredible run filled with rewriting the franchise’s history books and reimagining what a brighter future could be.
Wolves Head Coach Chris Finch remained calm before the game, explaining that his team has played very well in the first six minutes of every game in this series and that his group is still very confident in what they can do.
