The Minnesota Timberwolves gave up a 12-0 run to close regulation that allowed the Denver Nuggets to force overtime, but Anthony Edwards and Nickeil Alexander Walker (!) were phenomenal in the extra session, pushing the Wolves to a win and a Game 5 showdown back in the Mile High City. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down what happened at the end of regulation, including questionable timeout management by head coach Chris Finch and lack of offensive execution, as well as Alexander-Walker’s brilliant play in overtime and Edwards’s dagger 3-pointer that sent the Wolves to the win.

Wolves be to busy fighting the Nuggets and the Refs. All the no calls have me not wanting to watch any more NBA games. It is a fck shame that the calls are that bad. Then those ghost az call on KAT when it matter is the reason Denver was even in the game. But to be fair, the Refs have been bad all the way down to high school games.
Ghost calls on Jokic. The NBA has some audacity. They allow him to slam his elbows into defenders, travel, and mock the officials.
I m not a fan of the in game adjustments from Finch. He's a decent coach. I just don't see him as a title leading coach .
For all qualified players, ANT is second in PPG for the playoffs and first in PER in 4 games played, and the only player averaging over 2 blocks and 2 steals. Let that sink. A 21 year old is carrying this franchise on his back. If the Wolves somehow manage to win 4 straight, just give the Finals MVP to ANTMAN right now, LOL.
🙏🙏🙏 Delaying the inevitable. Sorry.
Finch should be let go.
Jokic committed like 18 fouls this game. 😂😂
Ant can become a top 10-15 player if he can learn to sell free throw calls. The bullrush and hard euro aren’t bad moves, but selling free throw calls is an art that almost star players have learned. Once Ant gets it, he will become great. It will raise his ppg 3-4 points
Mike Conley is the greatest point guard in timberwolves history
This wasn’t a matter of the wolves, collapsing. This was the Nuggets not bothering to assert there dominance until about two minutes left in the game.
