5 Takeaways from a Stunning Game 1 Upset
Minnesota Timberwolves Overpower Denver Nuggets
In a stunning turn of events, the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns overpowered the Denver Nuggets 106-80 in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series on Tuesday night.
Timberwolves Clamp Down on Nuggets
From the opening tip, the Timberwolves clamped down on the Nuggets, holding them to just 80 points. Denver, led by Nikola Jokic, struggled to find their rhythm and were outplayed in every facet of the game.
Edwards Leads the Way
Anthony Edwards, in particular, was a force for Minnesota. The dynamic shooting guard scored 26 points and added 6 rebounds and 5 assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns chipped in with 22 points and 13 rebounds.
Jokic's Struggles
Nikola Jokic, the odds-on favorite to win a third MVP trophy, had a disappointing performance. He finished with 20 points but shot just 7-for-22 from the field and was held to only 9 rebounds.
