  1. Mile High City, but Wolves at the peak of the West

  2. Therealrickyrubio

    Got a bit ugly at the end but still gotta be one of the best wins of the year. Defense was on point. Rudy, Naz, Jaden & Ant were ridiculous.

  3. irishace88

    1ST PLACE IN THE WEST

    Wolves with 3/3 centers: 21 point win.
    Wolves with 0/3 centers: 3 point loss.
    Wolves with 2/3 centers: 13 point win.

    FUCK GLEN TAYLOR

    Denver tried so hard to break 100 at the end lol

  4. ThisGuySucks42069

    Awesome win in the midst of this ownership shit storm. Back in first! Fuck Glen Taylor!

  5. Incredible first half. Though I almost fell asleep at the end of the 4th…

  6. I was way too excited for the last second block to keep them under 100 😅

  7. cokefriend

    Lmao we even blocked their last second disrespect shot attempt as a final fuck you for keeping us here an extra 30 minutes

  8. iceyH0ts0up

    Dominant all night.

    The magical chick fil a run continues, 14-0 now.

    E: spelling/grammar/syntax

  9. Apostinggod

    Next year we will talk about how the Nuggets were the hardest team we beat in the playoffs.

  10. GZAofTheMidwest

    Great way to end the day. Nice statement win for the Wolves, now tied for 2nd best season in franchise history.

  11. Bigbully_69

    We clinch tiebreaker over Denver Nuggets by virtue of clinching at least a season series split with Denver, and clinching division record tiebreaker.

  12. funkstrong

    No team can withstand Conley hitting 5 threes

  13. Dull_Ad_8627

    Back to first after KAT went down, everyone said we was finished lmao

  14. Significant-Fix-5831

    I’m used to seeing Jokic being defended physically with not a lot of free throws taken so it’s weird seeing these weaker calls on him like that last call on Rudy was eye brow raising imo

  15. Mike Malone is the most bored coach of all time. You know it’s a great performance when the best nugget was Deandre Jordan

  16. VanillaIsActuallyYum

    Dude, I am so fucking proud of this team. What a dominant first half in particular and what a satisfying W, for so many reasons. Gonna revel in this one for quite a while.

  17. Imagine being down 20 with 4 minutes left and playing the foul game the rest of the way lol

  18. nhthelegend

    First in the west without KAT. 7-3 in our last 10. This team is ballin rn. Credit to Finch and Connelly for building a team deep enough to weather the storm.

    Wish we woulda put it away more decisively, and they were missing Murray, but we’re missing KAT so I’ll call that a wash and a good ass win.

  19. Formal_Junket_1585

    Give us that 1 seed back mfs. Guys gassed out plus the hack a rudy made the game look closer than what it was but the energy in 1-3 was amazing. Bulls,Rockets,Raptors next im expecting 3-0. We can really finish 1 if we stay locked in

  20. Why was Denver so salty about defensive player of the year Rudy Gobert?

  21. If you guys need some salt for your dinner go check out that Nuggets post game thread

  22. LifterPuller

    “We’re going to be owners of the Denver Nuggets”, Bite Bite said. “It’s just a matter of time, and how much pain Jokic wants to put the fans, the players through. It’s his choice. It’s didn’t have to be this way.”

  23. Wakandaforever456

    Wolves are the 1 seed in the west. Gobert is the unanimous DPOY. Remember when people said Kessler is better than Gobert?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  24. Underdog_To_Wolf

    Ownership fiasco means nothing to the team, love to see it. Getting even just one of these wins in Denver is huge.

  25. alwaysranting

    I remember some fans were saying “there is no way the wolves will get ahead of okc or Denver again”. And that they are too good to “ever give the spot back”. Lol

  26. Jamesd420

    I’m blessed to have watched the 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves
