Minnesota showed fight late in Game 2 against Denver, but ultimately fell short in a 122-113 loss. An Anthony Edwards three briefly gave the Wolves the lead before a quick 7-0 run by the Nuggets put them behind the eight-ball once again. The Timberwolves must win to stay alive, as no NBA team has ever overcome a 3-0 playoff deficit.
Denver saw a 21-point lead at one point dwindle, but was able to ward off Minnesota down the stretch to take a 2-0 series lead. Jamal Murray stepped up with 40 points in the victory. The Nuggets can take a commanding 3-0 lead in this series with a win Friday and set themselves up for some rest ahead of the second round.
