The Minnesota Timberwolves outscored the Denver Nuggets 60-37 in the 2nd half as the Timberwolves defeat the Nuggets in Game 7, 98-90 and advance to the Western Conference Finals. Jaden McDaniels (23 points, 6 rebounds), Karl-Anthony Towns (23 points, 12 rebounds) and Anthony Edwards (16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists) combined for 62 points in the victory, while Jamal Murray (35 points, 4 3pt. FG) and Nikola Jokic (34 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists) combined for 69 for the Nuggets in the losing effort.
Minnesota’s 20 point comeback was the largest in a Game 7 in the play-by-play era (1997-98), passing
Cleveland Cavaliers, 18 points vs Magic (R1, 2024)
Minnesota reaches the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004 when they faced the Lakers (2-4). This is the only other time Minnesota has made it to the Western Conference Finals
This is the 27th time that a team defeated the defending champions after losing to them the postseason prior. Most recently, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers in the 2017 Finals (4-1) after losing to them in the 2016 NBA Finals (3-4).
Karl-Anthony Towns joins Kevin Garnett (2003-04) as the only Timberwolves to go total 200 points and 100 rebounds in a playoff run - กีฬา
"They have Durant, we have McDaniels"
"They have Jokic, we have McDaniels"
Ant-Man was always right, McDaniels is the "X factor" in the Wolves....
Nuggets has Jokic, Wolves has Reid.
Reid is really the difference. He went god mode in the 4th
Nah .....towns was the difference ...his defence on joking on key moments was elite
KAT was the only one scoring until Ant and Naz woke up
"They have Jokic, we have...MPJ"
Naz Reid on the final minutes was playing like Chamberlaine bro 😭😭😭
NAZ FUCKIN REID CONTAINED JOKIC!!!! WHOEVER CONTRADICTS HAVEN'T WATCHED THE GAME!!!!!!!
Yeah Charlemagne a baller
Wtil Chamberlaine my favorite player
And Gobert like Kobe 😂
@@BonnisseurDeLaBathLMAOO That fadeaway was ridiculous
That's easily the best win in franchise history for the Timberwolves. Incredible win and comeback on the road to take down the defending NBA Champions.
Agreed. Easily the biggest/best win in their history.
The Wolves did it 3 times in Denver... in a 7 game series. That's what's even more unlikely !!!
Nah blowing a 20 point lead in a game 7 is WILD
Typing like a brain rotted 12 year old is even more wild
MVP my ass

Wait, did that just happened?. They went into the defending champs' house, game 7 trailed by double digits, and grind out a win against the league MVP. Damn.
Sounds like the heart of a champion 🏆
@@komfyk For sure. You hear it here first: WOLVES 2024 Champs.
Its scripted. In real life Nuggets in 5
@@plusnew8306down 20? Sure buddy
@@plusnew8306 yeah, just like the NBA used the remote control last year in Game 6 to put the ball into the basket as it left White's hand ensuring a Celtic win.
Towns paved the way for this comeback, he was balling when the entire team was struggling, he was the MVP of this game.
I mfed every single Wolves player in the first half but KARL. He was playing with confidence and finally being physical when guards got caught on him on switches. Get big KAT!
100%
Blowing a 20 points lead on elimination match is crazy.
Congrats to T-Wolves! 🎉
Mike malone is pissed! And im enjoying it 🍿
they didn’t deserve to win, if Nikola Chokic and Jamal MurOverrated didn’t choke and prove they’re overrated like usual, nuggets would have won
Referee was cheating for Denver like crazy yet lose
And the Nuggets were at home to.
Nuggets aren't athletic enough and it showed. They have 2 athletes and the rest are slugs 😂😂😂
That’s crazy, the way the crowd sounds would make you think the wolves was home
Wolves are a very popular team tbh
@@toxicmasculine77 yeah this season, bunch of bandwagoners lol
Beat them by 45 in game 6
Comeback from 20 in game 7
Mavs Twolves would be a great entertainment 🔥
But neither of them match up close at all to Boston

@@Thebestboy3456 Celtics bout to get Smack by the Wolves, East side Weak over there
Team's bench performance was the key in this game. Everybody brought their 110% in the game, the wolves.
EVERYBODY ACTING TOUGH WHEN THEY UP
Blessing in disguise for Towns to get benched after 5 fouls...the moment Naz Reid took over, the Wolves energy was hyped and continued to dominate.❤
Even with the refs biased to nuggets too
Right the final 3 minutes I’m like they really calling those tacky fouls
League and refs have been on the Nuggets side whole series smh. So glad Wolves pulled it off despite that!
@@tonyreyes6610Did you see that no all on the gather from Ant but then they call the foul on Rudy when Jokic lost the ball
That was crazy made me want to change the game like js let them hoop (cavs fan)
@@macholchol5846 yeah I almost stopped watching at halftime I’m glad I didn’t haha
Naz Reid is the mf man. What he did while KAT was benched w/ foul trouble was oh-so clutch.
I’m so happy we get more Timberwolves basketball this season. Incredible!!!
game 7 comeback win is absolutely insane
Everyone asked for a close game 7 and it did not disappoint!
Nah blowing a 20 point lead in a game 7 with a 98% chance to win at one point and up by 20 in the 3rd quarter and having Jamal Murray score 33 is wild and joker scoring 36 and 19 boards is wild
A perfect day to remind you that the Nuggets are mortal. They were getting cocky 😂
@@tealsquarewhere cocky? I thought its a zero bench syndrome. Porter and Gordon did zero to help
@@jedrusnowak3317 Yes, this game shows the importance of having a great bench. Starters can only put so much points before getting exhausted. This was on Porter and Gordon.
@@naimas8120 retarded NBA fans doesnt care. For them if jokic didnt carry alone then he is bad... Like ant was only one.. he Has great team with great bench.
Joker shows an air of Dosent care or indifferent. He needs that fire like Ant
Wolves did their best 90's defense. WHAT. A. COMEBACK. #DefenseWinsGames
defense? 😂 the nuggets just couldn’t hit wide open shots
@@JustAnAverageJoe12neither could Ant 💀
Luka gonna complain about the defense of sota 😂 cant wait
@@JustAnAverageJoe12 CRY MORE
Nah Brickola just shot 2-10
Nuggets fan hurting right now. Ant and T-wolves are the real deal.
Hahaha. Nuggets trolls are posting shiets on game 5 but now mia 😂🤣🤭
The wolves are damn RESILIENT
the fadeaway by gobert was insane
This should have been the finals honestly.. What a series!!
jokic does not care...it shows...
@@bobloblaw6205cry. 34pts, 19 rbs, 7 assists. Scoring 3 pointers back to back. You gotta cope tho, I understand.
@@osiel.91 are you telling me to cry about the guy who ended his career worst way possible?
Be awkward when Dallas gets to the finals but ok
@@bobloblaw6205did he retire? News to me 🤣
I was in the NBA livestream when the Nuggets were up, they were calling the Timberwolves puppies. I don't see them around here now 🤣
Timberwolves are trash and i hope Luka and Kyrie destroy them
Nuggets fans are quiet now. Lakers fans probably happy💀
When Gobert hit the fadeaway shot you knew it was over
Charles Barkley is happy that he finally got a prediction right 😂😂
Warriors are Cooked! He got that right. lol
As a nuggets fan, ggs. This isn’t our time. Glad for the timberwolves, and there is always next year.
Only reason was one tonight is because the nuggets couldn't hit any shots and they were wide open
@@markwideman339 They also didn’t let Jokic rest, man was tired😂. Which is why I think Denver should get a backup center or big man tbh.
@markwideman339 No it's bc you blew a 20 point lead.
@@markwideman339zero bench. And porter with Gordon did nothing
@@JB-tz8fuyup
Crazy wolves havent made it to wcf in 20 years came back down 20 point lead
And they did in the year twenty twenty... four.
Naz Reid got takeover in the 4th quarter😭😭
was a wild run 60-37 half
I blame Nikola Jurkovic
him and Murray had 75 percent of there total point lol
38-53 at the half
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
Lets go Wolves!!!!!!!!
1:07 MPJ bricked so bad the announcer even says "wow"
Straight trash. 7 points in a playoffs game come on now
Wolves literally dragged Jokic and Murray to the point of exhaustion during the first 2 quarters - and after defending the Nuggets straight up the start of the 3rd, the Nuggets had a scoring drought - and Jokic and Murray are dead tired at this point. Wolves started scoring, and Gobert's fadeaway exemplified the Nuggets' effectiveness on defense at this point.
mcnuggets have a crap bunch
Wolves look like they had way more energy
Man these nuggets fans were talking greasy at halftime!! “Jokic and Donic, battle of the great whites” “Murray is the best player ever in clutch games” “Mavs can do nothing with us!!”
Then 60-37 in the 2nd half happened and also the biggest comeback in a GAME 7 Ever!!! #BBallIs2Halfs
Murray the most clutch?! That high altitude high 🙃
The great whites lmao
@@zerocal76Murray did play clutch his team didn’t show up tho
@@EshDerp1425_Monke I'm not saying he wasn't clutch. I'm laughing at Denver fans calling him the best player ever in clutch games 😉
@@zerocal76Murray ain’t close to most clutch 😂 glad we agree on that
wolves so fun to watch. They play a good brand of ball
I feel like the Nuggets played the score instead of the momentum. The moment you feel momentum shifting you really should respond then, instead of relaxing cause you're up big. Also, when up big was maybe time to give Joker a breather.
This game was absolute basketball poetry
Jokic gonna get to see his horses early.
😂
I can’t wait to see how Luka deals with this defense.If he complained constantly against OKC imagine what’s gonna happen now
Los únicos que van a llorar son los haters de Luka
I mean to be fair he has been playing through injuries
OKC blowing a 17 pt lead while Nuggets blowing a 20 pt lead 💀
yeah but the refs were helping Dallas. they were trying to set up Nuggets vs Mavs
I live in Charleston, South Carolina and I traveled to game 6 and watched game 7 in a Minneapolis hotel. I went to celebrate the life of my aunt who passed away. last time my dad watched a game was that 2004 season. my aunt is the person who went with him and bought the black throwback KG jersey. i got to wear it to my first Timberwolves game at 22 years old with pops. So symbolic and such a great healing experience being back in my home state after 12 years. #wolvesback
Blowing a 20 point lead, in a game 7, on your home floor is crazy to me
Wolves: We play defense
Denver: We have the refs
that goaltend was really bad.
Can't believe they blew a 15 points game 7 lead that's crazy!!
20 point
Dude you better believe it. T wolves D can do that to anyone.

Not really. T wolves will have no cap space to save this team Naz and Mcdaniels will sure get there bags..butt in different team..sam bruce b did with Den. Without them T wolves suck ass it s not even close.
@@otacmakarije352 Naz Reid and McDaniels have already been resigned casual
@@otacmakarije352Wolves roster is all signed for at least the next season besides Conley and Kyle Anderson (I’m hopeful Mike will take a pay cut for the sake of the team).

I woke up at 2 am to watch this game. I'm glad I woke up for this. It was worth it.
That's dedication! This is easily the best win in Wolves franchise history so far. - from a longtime Minnesota fan, in Minnesota
Bro in the 4th quater me and my friends were cheering on every single point gained by the wolves. I still got goosebumps bro💀
Same here, this game is the best win in Wolves franchise history easily
@@lightbeforethetunnel fr bro
Anthony Edwards is the future mf face of the NBA!!!
@Banana-wu6te ...What if Edwards gets hurt? There's no such thing as a one-man team, PERIOD!!!
@@brucescott4261stop hating...
Bronny will be the new face of NBA 😂
Why is so important for some of you?? Championships matters not face of the league
McDaniel and Reid defense is more important to Minnesota than Edwards and his bad shot selection.
U clearly don't understand ball if u are discounting ants importance
@@csy2068 Without them they are not even a playoff team, dummy. My urine knows more about this game than you
Ant was being double / triple teamed in this game, bro. That's why he was able to drive in and dish out to a wide open 3 for his teammates 7 times.
When you're double and triple teamed, your scoring numbers are gonna be lower. But a good player will translate that into good looks for his teammates and a win because of it.
And a good player will concentrate on other areas of basketball, which isn't a 1 dimensional game where the only thing that matters if your scoring stats for 1 game.
Ant didn't even really have an off night, despite the 6-24
Man the Nuggets collapse was terrible.
Refs tried to sell and ant starting starting cold… This game was OVER. but the DEFENSE at the end won this game and beat the odds. Good on ant for keeping his composure and trusting his team.WHAT A COMEBACK! What a series.
Anthony Edwards went crazy!
KAT carried like ANT said
6/24 is crazy?
??
@@DantrellWalker Jaden mcdanields you meant
He played bad
I turned off the tv at half time. i couldn't watch the loss, so i went and listened to Horton call the game on the radio. It was great listening to him call the win, especially with all the losing he's had to call. Pete was awesome too.
I did the same, in that I turned it off at halftime. I'm a longtime MN fan and I just couldn't watch us lose this. But when I came back to check it was right when the run started oh man I couldn't believe it
Blowing a 20 point lead in game 7 is nasty work.
Best two words in sport *NAZ REID*
Can't believe nuggets of all team choke a 15pt advantage like that.
They were up 20. Epic meltdown.
He is really Jordans son. Never quits.
Crazy game just fire🔥
Gobert hitting that fadeaway was like if Roy Hobbs hit that home run in the 7th and then they just kept playing like Rudy didn't just turn the lights out on the series.
The recipe of a champ team...not relying only on one dude..it's a collective effort of every player that's the difference between these two teams ...just like teams of the past..plus the heart to Win..I don't see that from Denver...the intangibles sometimes makes the difference.. Timberwolves,a great team as a whole
Nba thank you. You real for this post
Where the denver fans saying they were going to win? Choking 20 point lead is crazy yet have the audacity to say refs plan? 🤣
MISSING PERSON: Jamal Murray.
If found, please return to the Denver Nuggets
LMAOOO , IM CRYING RN 😂😂😂
That poor dude scored 35 points but he still gets hate 🤦♂️🤦♂️. What more do you want from him??
@@rise3387he also scored so much and the beginning and set up that huge lead. If that’s not enough idk what is
@@EshDerp1425_Monke How is this all his fault? Why is it always Murray Murray Murray?? Blowing a 20 point lead is only his fault? What about MPJ, Gordon, Braun, Caldwell Pope and Jackson?? They all had under two digit points and were supposed to help Both Murray and Jokic like they always do. Murray can't be the only one to rely on.
@@rise3387 I agreed with you. Why so aggressive 😭
The consistency of a 20 game lead and dominated at the 3rd quarter n came back is real goats 🐐💯
Even the announcer was saying "what is going on" on the Nuggets 😂 1:56
Timberwolves with 6 players in double figures vs Nuggets with only 2. That's your game, no shot making from Gordon/MPJ/KCP or the bench.
- Edwards was terrible offensively, but the Wolves got at least 5-6 threes off his penetration and he stayed locked in defensively.
- McDaniels shot the hell out of the ball the last two games on top of All-Defense play.
- Gobert got the Nuggets in foul trouble in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
- Towns was the most stable offensive player all night and guarded Jokic well all series.
- Naz being able to replace Towns's production in the 4th quarter is a crazy advantage. They just replace one rebounding defensive stretch big with another.
COMEBACK KINGS!!
Meh. More than 25% of their points were free throws bro. Thank the refs.

I knew you could come through 🐺
The last wave by ANT is so funny hahhahahaa
That was the biggest choke ever. Dang.
legendary run from ant wolves for the chip in 7
I have been watching the nba since i was 15. Im 32 yo now and i must say this is the scariest timberwolves i have ever seen.

The Timberwolves GM is playing chess not checkers. When every team is going small he went big and traded for Rudy Gobert. Genuis move. 👏
Anthony Edwards “I’m about to get in my bag”🔥🔥🔥
McDaniels vs Washington Jr will be a sight to see match up.
10:17 total phantom call to help Jokic. If MN hadn't won, all the phantom calls to help Jokic [usually called on KAT since its a huge Denver advantage if he gets into foul trouble early - which he did in FIVE games this series] would have been talked about a lot more.
Jokic flops more than a Euro League Soccer player - kinda pathetic
Right from the get go, Nori should've made Reid as Jokic's main defender so Gobert can be the help defender
