Nuggets at Wolves: A Tied Series Collides in Minneapolis - Game 3 Preview
The Western Conference first-round series between the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves has been everything fans hoped for. After a Game 2 road win by the Timberwolves, the series is tied 1-1 as it moves to the Target Center for Game 3 on April 23.
The Edwards Factor
Anthony Edwards is the heart and soul of the Timberwolves. Despite a lingering knee issue, he willed his team to a Game 2 victory. In front of the home fans in Minneapolis, expect "Ant-Man" to be even more aggressive in attacking the rim.
Jokic’s Response
Nikola Jokic had a monster triple-double in Game 1 but was held in check during the second half of Game 2. The Nuggets' offense flows through the MVP, and Denver will need him to be more dominant in the post to counteract Minnesota’s defensive pressure.
