- Nuggets unravel in 106-80 defeat in Game 2
- Denver in two-game hole in best-of-seven series
The Minnesota Timberwolves, led by Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns, overpowered the Denver Nuggets on Monday night in a stunningly efficient 106-80 thrashing of the reigning but reeling NBA champions.
“We’ve had some really good defensive efforts this year,” Wolves coach Chris Finch said after his team took a surprising 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semi-finals. “That has to be right up there with the best of them.”
