In Game 7 of their NBA playoff series against the defending champion Denver Nuggets, the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off a spectacular upset, winning 98-90 to move to the next round despite trailing by 15 points at the half. With this win, the Nuggets’ title defense comes to an end as the biggest comeback in Game 7 history is accomplished.
With a strong postseason history and home-court advantage, the Nuggets, headed by three-time MVP Nikola Jokić and fearsome pair Jamal Murray, started the game as favorites. They controlled the first half, displaying their formidable offensive might and formidable defense. Anthony Edwards had a difficult game for the Timberwolves, scoring just four points on 1-of-7 shooting, while Murray led the way with 24 points.
But the Timberwolves pulled off an incredible comeback in the second half, spurred on by the 20th anniversary of Kevin Garnett’s incredible Game 7 performance in 2004. Riding a wave of momentum fuelled by improved shooting, a fierce defensive game, and a well-balanced scoring attack, they outscored the Nuggets 60–37. After finishing with 23 points and 12 rebounds, including a game-winning putback slam in the last minute to secure the victory, Karl-Anthony Towns emerged as the Timberwolves’ leader.
The Timberwolves go to the next round and will take on the dangerous Dallas Mavericks, led by star player Luka Dončić, after this historic victory. The Nuggets’ season came to a dismal end with this loss, which begs the issue of whether they can continue to play at the championship level.
The Timberwolves’ victory is evidence of their tenacity, willpower, and the value of cooperation. It serves as a reminder that in the wild world of postseason basketball, anything is possible, even against what seem to be insurmountable odds. With its thrilling turns and emotional ending, this Game 7 will surely go down as a classic, as it marked the birth of new Timberwolves heroes.
