The Denver Nuggets host the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinals series Monday night. Can the defending champions bounce back with a Game 2 win? Or will Minnesota continue to put the league on notice, securing a commanding 2-0 series lead on the road?Anthony Edwards was otherworldly on Saturday night. He finished with a staggering 43 points on 17-of-29 shooting, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope doesn’t have the strength to hang with Edwards down low, while Aaron Gordon lacks the foot speed to stay with him on the perimeter. Karl-Anthony Towns finished Game 1 with 20 points in 31 minutes, but his foul trouble limited his overall impact. He’ll need more help from his teammates in Game 2, namely Jamal Murray, who was held scoreless in the first half and finished with just 17 points as Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker played stupendous defense against him.
Michael Porter Jr. has elevated his game this postseason, averaging 22.3 points on 54-50-74 shooting. Despite his family struggles, Porter has been laser-focused on the court and is playing the best basketball of his career.
