DENVER — Nikola Jokic celebrated his third NBA MVP award by scoring 40 points and the Denver Nuggets shut down Anthony Edwards in a 112-97 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. That put the reigning NBA champions one win away from the Western Conference finals.
With their first three-game losing streak of the season, the Wolves will have to snap their skid Thursday night at Target Center to force a Game 7 back in Denver. After the Wolves inched ahead 55-53 early in the third quarter, Jokic assisted on four consecutive baskets during Denver's 11-2 response for a 64-57 lead that would stand the rest of the way.
