Timberwolves were toast against Nuggets in Game 3 after being toast of NBA

The electricity crackled through Target Center in the moments leading up to Game 3, a long-suffering basketball community letting loose with a volume fueled by three days’ worth of national conversation suggesting that their Minnesota Timberwolves were suddenly the team to beat in the NBA playoffs. “Just ’cause we’ve won a couple of games in a row does not mean that we have any room to relax and get comfortable,” Timberwolves guard Mike Conley said. Certified bucket getter pic.twitter.com/X2tIbgTCLw — Denver Nuggets May 11, 2024 The Wolves’ strategy of putting Towns on Nikola Jokić and letting Rudy Gobert roam off of Aaron Gordon has worked well in the regular season and the first two games of the series. The defense that was so dominating in the first two games of this series, the ferociousness that earned the Wolves so many flowers this week, just wasn’t there in Game 3. Part of the reason is the game was called tighter than the first two, with Tony Brothers’ crew not allowing the same physicality that was a hallmark of Games 1 and 2 in Denver.
