DENVER—Anthony Edwards overcame a slow start, and the Minnesota Timberwolves roared back from a 20-point, second-half deficit to eliminate the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets 98–90 in a Game 7 masterpiece on Sunday night, May 19.
The Timberwolves overcame a 15-point halftime deficit—the largest comeback in a Game 7 in NBA playoff history—behind Edwards, who had just four points, no rebounds, and three assists at halftime but finished with 16 points, eight boards, and seven assists.
