Edwards' 27 Points Lead Wolves to Game 7
Denver's Championship Hopes on the Brink After Rout
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves staved off elimination in emphatic fashion on Thursday, routing the defending champion Denver Nuggets 115-70 in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinal series.
Anthony Edwards emerged as the catalyst for the Timberwolves, erupting for 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting. His performance sparked a high-octane offense that left the Nuggets reeling.
The victory forces a decisive Game 7 in Denver on Saturday, with both teams now facing the prospect of a sudden-death showdown. The Timberwolves had previously trailed 3-2 in the series, but Edwards' heroics have given them new life.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets' championship aspirations hang precariously in the balance. Despite a disappointing Game 6 performance, they remain confident in their ability to close out the series at home. Nikola Jokic, Denver's reigning MVP, vowed to "come out with a vengeance" in the pivotal Game 7.
