With 22 points and nine rebounds, league MVP Jokic was below his potential against the defensively strong Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards was the hosts’ top scorer with 27 points. The series remains a roller coaster ride: Denver was initially down 0-2, then fought for the first match point with three wins.

Timberwolves unstoppable against Nuggets

“The guys just believed in themselves,” Edwards said. “I think we were all unhappy with ourselves in the last three games.”
