This is the largest comeback ever in a Game 7 in NBA history and gave the T-Wolves their first trip to the Western Conference Finals in 20 years.
Anthony Edwards, who had a quiet first half, emerged as a leader, finishing with a stat-sheet stuffing performance of 16 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists despite an underwhelming shooting night (6 of 24).
The Nuggets duo, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic combined to score 69 points on a night where he did not get much support from his team, and the next highest scorer was Michael Porter Jr. with 7 points.
Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaden McDaniels led the Timberwolves to the win with 23 points apiece. The win ended the Nuggets' championship reign and sent Minnesota to the conference finals for the first time in two decades.
They will face the Dallas Mavericks in the series starting Wednesday night on their home court, the Target Center.
