The Denver Nuggets played Game 3 as if they had never lost in Game 1 and Game 2, “blow-out” the Minnesota Timberwolves with an extremely overwhelming match.
Brushing off two consecutive defeats despite playing at home last week, Jokic and his teammates delivered one of their most dominant performances in the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
They crushed the dark horse team Minnesota Timberwolves right in Minneapolis, winning 117-90 in Game 3 to shorten the score of the Western semi-final series to 1-2.
Just like that, the Timberwolves lost their rhythm in attack and lost their way on defense right from the first half of the match. No Minnesota player reached double-digit points in points besides Karl- Anthony Towns.
In contrast, the Denver Nuggets had 3-point artillery from almost the entire team, led by Jamal Murray. The Canadian defender scored 18 of his 24 points in the first two rounds of Game 3, a number that exceeded 0 points (Game 1) and only 2 points (Game 2).
There was no comeback in this match as the Minnesota Timberwolves still seemed to struggle in attack, and the Denver Nuggets continuously widened the gap.
They reached a 27-point advantage at the end of the third quarter before eventually winning 117-90.
