As reported by Yahoo sports-The series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets in Game 7 could go down in history. The storylines surrounding this clash have added to the intrigue of not only the highly anticipated series between two really skilled teams, but also the game itself.
The Nuggets function as a unit. They are the defending champions and have qualified for the playoffs for six straight years. Together, three-time MVP Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray are nearly unstoppable. Although they are 4-3 as a team in Game 7s, this core group of players is 3-1. They possess both abilities as well as expertise.
But look away now, because the Timberwolves are nearing. They’ve qualified for the playoffs the last three years. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards are developing into young men. The atmosphere is perfect. Even Rudy Gobert is now popular thanks to them!
The Timberwolves have history on their side in Game 7, which may be enough to overcome the Nuggets even with that alone. Twenty years have passed since Minnesota defeated the Sacramento Kings 83–80 in Game 7 of the second round on Sunday. Kevin Garnett, who turned twenty-one on Sunday, scored 32 points, pulled down 21 rebounds, blocked five shots, and stole four steals.
