Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Game 6 Full Highlights | 2024 WCSF | FreeDawkins

Game six at Target Center. The Timberwolves facing elimination. The Nuggets looking to punch their ticket to the Western Conference Finals. Here's Towns, five to Shue, lobbing it up to Gobert for the flush. Here's Jokic, the flick ahead. Murray finds Jokic to the rim. And right now, this is one of those games where both teams have to just settle down. Just Porter gets free for the slam. Pat needs to stay out of foul trouble so that that's an option for us. As Jokic plods inside and flips it in. Porter, he got it. What a start for Denver and a timeout taken by Minnesota. McDaniels dares to shoot it and rattles it in. That is what Minnesota needs. And now a steal. This could be fun. Edwards to the rack. Towns, the fake, the take, and rebound kept alive. Conley to Edwards. Corner three is good. Towns lumbering, lobbing. Gobert, a 20-0 Minnesota run. Jokic from the free-throw line finally drops one in. Minnesota defense looking more like what it did in games one and two and throughout the season. Edwards storms in and uses the window. That's 11 in the first for Anthony Edwards. Reid bounces ahead. Two to shoot. Murray spinning, has to force it up. How about that Timberwolves' D? Edwards, a three. You bet. Right here, Carl Anthony Towns has to be patient. Towns able to bank it in. Holliday trying to blast to the cup, and McDaniels was not having it. Edwards had 14 in that first. On the bench to start the second, Murray finally drops one in. That would have been 0 of 5 in that first quarter. Jokic, the catch and the finish on a gorgeous delivery. And you got to give credit, look, the defending champs are not going to go away. And another offensive rebound. Jokic gets fouled and flips it in. A chance for three for the MVP. Reid, Euros, floats, can he? Got it back, put it in. Reid on the move, gets denied, but a foul. They're going to count the bucket. Never mind, no foul, just a goal take. Reid taking advantage with a size on Murray. Lead back to 19 for Minnesota. Here's Edwards in the corner, connects, on a three. 19 already for 22-year-old Anthony Edwards. Porter swims in, banks it home, and a chance for three for Michael Porter, Jr. Conley, connects, on a three. Porter through the lane again, meets Gobert, finds Gordon, he got it. He catches and drives, catches and shoots. Conley, mid-range, he's good. Minnesota, by far and away, the best defensive team in the league this season. McDaniels, the cross and the finish. Jokic, able to flip it in, plus the foul. Porter into Gordon, good movement here. Good rotation for Minnesota. Jokic flips it in, 16 for the three-time MVP. Reid can't hit. McDaniels does, what a buzzer. Squashing a chance for a little Denver momentum as McDaniels rocks the rim. Jokic out to Murray. Murray finds Gordon for the slam. Talked about the others contributing for Minnesota. Conley and McDaniels have the last 16 Timberwolves points. Edwards, oh, what a move to the rack. Three to shoot, Murray trying to find space to the corner. Caldwell-Pope drains the three on a beautiful dart from Murray. Now watch this triple switch. He's going to go and then Aaron Gordon's going to kick out. Gobert flushes it down. Caldwell-Pope, short on that one, keeps it alive. Murray, a clean look, is good. Jamal Murray needed that, was one of 11 from the floor and 0 for four from three. Towns cuts through and finishes. Into the corner, McDaniels, you bet. But it's been the unselfishness that has really led to the Timberwolves' success. Their defense, their rebound, and the defensive player of the year, Rudy Gobert, out there pressuring. Gordon lays it up and in after Gobert had gone for the steal. A 26-point lead a moment ago, the largest of the night for the Timberwolves. Edwards with the stare after the J. Murray quickly into it. All right, Jamal Murray with a confident stroke. It'd been 2 for 14 from the floor before that made it. Reed one-on-one with the size, the spin, and the touch. Yet to score in the third, Jokic lays it in. Boy, most of this crowd has been standing the entire second half and they'll stay standing now. Well, they're giving them a reason to stand. Murray, slick handle, and the floater is good for Jamal Murray. Towns looking for space. Timberwolves in a zone right now. They're just kind of in a match-up zone, passing players off, trying to slow down the Minnesota offense, and it is not working because Conley steps in and knocks down the big three. Jokic lumbers in, misses the flip, not the tip. And that's what Chris Finch was talking to us about as Christian Brown provides the first bench points of the game for Denver. We all thought this was going to be a six- or seven-game series. The journey here doesn't matter. All that matters is we're here, and so is Anthony Edwards. Twenty-seven now tonight for Edwards. That's his fourth three. Gobert, center of the lane, lays it in. Timeout, Denver. Right now, I don't think this game's slipping away from the Timberwolves anytime soon. I think you're right, Katie, and you know who else agrees? Michael Malone. He's emptied the bench. Mike Conley, it's another three, and you can see Chris Finch now communicating to his coaches, let's get some of our guys out. Gobert and Reed have 34 rebounds, 35 now, and the Denver team has 34 themselves. That is how strong the front court has been for the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. They have a championship organization. They have championship players, and this is what it's all about, putting yourself in this position to go, and this is why you do all that work and knock down the little pull-up, but to me, I just think that they are poised and ready to meet the challenge, but I am excited to see what this young Timberwolves team can do on the road for a game seven. Another three, Alexander Walker and Michael Malone is going to take a timeout. It's a 16-0 Minnesota run. They then come out with the first two games in this series against Denver in extraordinary fashion, then lose three straight to the defending champs. It played the whole possession, and it bared chicken for Minnesota. A 49-point lead. They're on a 24-0 run. This is ridiculous. Pick it. Sure. What's so funny? Well, I'm not giving you an answer. Tell me offline. Yeah. Pick it. Dumps it underneath. Najee flushes it down. Watson the rebound. Timberwolves are about to play their first game seven in 20 years. Strother flips it in. It has been cosmetic for a long while now. Shot clock turned off. Minnesota can dribble it out. Crowd rises to its feet. A dominant, authoritative bounce-back win from the Minnesota Timberwolves. We'll see you game seven Sunday.
