The Timberwolves owned the paint tonight against the Nuggets. They had a 20+ rebound advantage as a team led by big nights from Karl Anthony-Towns and Rudy Gobert. When they’re playing like that, they’re the best team in the NBA. Game 7 will be a great game to watch. It might as well be the NBA Finals.
Just like how they played in game 2, they dominated the Nuggets again.
43-62 rebounding disparity, that's huge, it looks like Nuggets didn't travel to play as in the rebound alone, they aren't getting it done well. Also, the nuggets struggled a lot in the 3 point area as they only shoot 19% which is very low. Well, I guess now we can say that this series is really unpredictalbe, we have a game 7 back in Denver, still it's hard to predict if the home team will dominate.
Yes, and we will give credit to the defense of the Wolves. There were immediate concern when the Nuggets started hot and so Wolves call early time out, but after that, it was a different team, playing good defense, running and hitting their shots.
McDaniels is the big difference for the Wolves with a big 21 points. Yes, as I have said before, this series is very unpredictable but the game is going to be in Denver and that they will have their home court advantage again. It's not a do or die game, but maybe the defending champions might still have some ace in their sleeves and finished this series.
