Game 2 on Monday saw the Timberwolves climb back from a 19-point second-quarter deficit on the road to even the series. With two minutes to go in that same quarter, Minnesota<\/a> also came to its largest lead of the game at eight points.\u00a0Chris Finch’s crew shot the ball very well in Denver<\/a>, finishing at 41.2% from beyond the arc (14\/34).<\/p>\n

Denver was able to carry a five-point lead with 6:40 to go in the fourth quarter, but Nikola Jokic<\/a>‘s two points in the fourth quarter were not enough to get the job done in crunch time. The Serbian star shot 8-for-20 from the field in Game 2, including a lackluster 1 of 7 from 3-point range. Jamal Murray<\/a> tied with Anthony Edwards<\/a> to lead all scorers with 30 points on 11 of 25 from the field. After scoring 17 points in Game 1, Aaron Gordon<\/a> was held to just eight points in the second game (3 of 9 FG). Christian Braun<\/a> and Tim Hardaway Jr.<\/a> both pitched in 16 points, but it still wasn’t enough to overcome Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Edwards led the Timberwolves with a 30-point, 10-rebound double-double and was huge down the stretch. His fourth quarter was quiet, but that saw the team’s role players pick up the slack. Jaden McDaniels<\/a> finished with 14 points, including the lead-taking fastbreak dunk with 4:34 to go. Just over 30 seconds later, Donte DiVincenzo<\/a> scored a layup to bring the lead to three. With a minute to go, the former Villanova Wildcat hit a 3-pointer on the wing to stretch the lead to four.<\/p>\n

Through six meetings this season, the Nuggets hold the advantage 4-2. Their first-round playoff series is now knotted at one game apiece heading into Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
