The Nuggets needed a strong effort to beat a scrappy T’Wolves group sans KAT, Gobert, and Naz, but they ultimately won a veeeery important game.
Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter changed the game in the 4th quarter.

Everyone will talk about how awesome Anthony Edwards was in this game, (and he truly was. .)
Thing is, Nikola Jokic still finished with more points on less shots than him.
We see this happen often when he goes up against these superstars. – 12:07 AM

So, all three of Gobert, Towns, and Naz are OUT on a SEGABABA for the T’Wolves.
They’re starting Kyle Anderson at center but will quickly go to Luka Garza I bet.
Time for a Jokic scoring explosion. – 8:36 PM

The Wolves believe part of the reason they matchup well with Denver is because they can put KAT on Jokic and have Gobert lurk off of Gordon to provide help/rim protection against cutters.

More on this storyline
LeBron James on Jayson Tatum: “He’s 25 years old, and I believe he has been to the conference finals four times and to the NBA finals once. He’s 25. I didn’t win my first one until I was 28. I think Nikola Jokic won his first one at 27. I think Michael Jordan was 28 as well… I think we have a lot of expectations on JT, but he’s experienced a lot of winning in his career so far. And obviously, everyone wants to see him get over the hump, but four conference finals and a finals appearance before the age of 26 is elite.” -via YouTube / March 19, 2024
Jorge Sierra: Most points+rebounds+assists+blocks+steals per minute in NBA history: 1. Joel Embiid: 1.415 per minute 2. Victor Wembanyama: 1.358 3. Luka Doncic: 1.354 4. Nikola Jokic: 1.295 5. Wilt Chamberlain: 1.253 6. Giannis Antetokounmpo: 1.230 Just an FYI. -via Twitter @hoopshype / March 18, 2024
