The Timberwolves were down 9-2 to start the game. Then they went on a 29-5 run for the rest of the first quarter 😳 🎥 @Timberwolves https://t.co/SuLqQnAa2s
Wild start to this game. The first 7 possessions for Denver were almost perfect for shot quality. And then a complete reversal and then some as Minnesota displayed a little bit of their Game 2 defense to dismantle the Nuggets. Malone will be saying "plenty of time" in the huddle

First quarter thoughts: 1) Target Center is a madhouse. 2) Wolves were down 9-3 when timeout came with 9:01 left. After that they outscored Denver, 22-5. 3) The Wolves are back to suffocating the Nuggets on defense. Nothing is easy for Denver and, thus, the shots aren't falling.

Wolves/Nuggets Game 6 notes. -Great response from Minnesota. Defensive activity has jumped up. Edwards took the challenge. Need to keep flowing offense. -This could be fun if it's just a rockfight. Both teams shooting 40%. -Jokic/Murray can't flow their way into this one.

The Wolves scored on their first possession -- a pretty lob from KAT to Rudy on the short roll -- but have gone 0-for-6 since. DEN started 0-for-3 from the field but have hit 4 of their last 5 to go on a 9-0 run. Timeout Minnesota.
