The Minnesota Timberwolves produced a historic 20-point comeback to eliminate the defending champion Denver Nuggets 98-90 in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Minnesota now advances to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in 20 years, while the Nuggets become the fifth straight defending champion to fall before the conference finals. It is the largest Game 7 comeback for 25 years, according to ESPN. “It showed us who we are,” Timberwolves’ rising superstar Anthony Edwards said after the game. “The coaches believed in us. Even in the third when we were down 20, they were like: ‘just keep making runs, keep making runs.
“Every series is a learning opportunity,” Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said after the game. “And this feeling sucks. I told our players, you go from training camp all the way through, and then it comes to an abrupt halt. “And that hurts. So use that feeling as motivation and come back a better player.” The Timberwolves now advance to play the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, with Game 1 taking place in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
