Anthony Edwards poured in a game-high 43 points and Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid came up clutch in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves beat the Denver Nuggets 106-99 in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series Saturday in Denver. Reid hit a 3-pointer off the glass as the shot clock was expiring with just under six minutes remaining and then threw a monster putback slam off a missed transition 3 from Edwards.
The Nuggets led 44-40 at the half and took a lead as large as seven points in the third quarter, but the Wolves made sure they wouldn’t ever gain much separation. Karl-Anthony Towns was a perfect 5 for 5 from the field in the frame and Mike Conley had 11 third-quarter points. Towns finished with 20 points and four rebounds despite battling some foul trouble late, and Conley had 14 points and 10 assists.
