The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered their first loss of the 2024 playoffs
on Friday night, falling to the Denver Nuggets in Game 3. This was a highly anticipated game, as Minnesota had jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the defending champions.
While it was always unlikely that the defending champions would be swept, losing the first two games at home certainly opened the door to that possibility. Minnesota was blown out by Denver in Game 3, and will look to avoid also dropping their first two home games of the series when they host Denver again in Game 4.
Speaking with reporters after the game, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was honest about the loss, saying his team will be fine. “There’s no reason to be negative,” Edwards said. “They won one game, we’re gonna try to win the next game. It’s the first to four games, it’s not the first to one. If it was first one to one, we’d have already won the series. We’ll be alright.”“There’s no reason to be negative. They won one game, we’re gonna try to win the next game. It’s the first to four games, it’s not the first to one. If it was first one to one, we’d have already won the series. We’ll be alright.
Game 4 will be massive, because the difference between a 3-1 series and a 2-2 series is astronomical. The Timberwolves understand this, and will look to come out with a much different approach next game.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn32@sbcglobal.
