In one of the most shocking results in recent NBA history, the Minnesota Timberwolves blew out the defending champion Denver Nuggets, 106-80, on its home court to take a 2-0 series lead.
The T'Wolves, who were the third choice to win the Western Conference ahead of the second round, are now the clear favorite to win the West with a massive lead on the Nuggets in this round before the Thunder and Mavericks tip off its own series.
Minnesota has used its league best defense to throw the Nuggets elite offense out of sync while Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns have paced a balanced effort on the other side of the ball.
