Going seven: Minnesota's Anthony Edwards celebrates in the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves' series-tying blowout victory over Denver in the NBA playoffs
Anthony Edwards shook off an injury scare to finish with 27 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals as the young, hungry Timberwolves fended off elimination against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, who had won the previous three games to take charge of the best-of-seven series. Only five teams have rallied to win an NBA playoff series after dropping the first two games at home, most recently the Los Angeles Clippers against Dallas in the first round in 2021.
Denver went nearly six minutes without scoring, the crowd at the Target Center in Minneapolis growing more frenzied as the Timberwolves' lead grew. It was more of the same in the third, with Minnesota taking a 66-42 lead when Edwards came up with a steal and threw down a dunk. A step-back three-pointer by Mike Conley -- back after missing game five with a calf injury -- pushed the Timberwolves' lead to 29 late in the third quarter.
