THE RUB

Facing elimination the Timberwolves will host the Denver Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Semi-Finals at Target Center on Thursday night.

The Nuggets claimed a 112-97 victory at Ball Arena on Tuesday to take a 3-2 series lead.

Denver dominated in the paint, outscoring Minnesota 62-48 in that area.

Nikola Jokic delivered a masterclass performance, recording a 40-point, 13-assist double-double on 15-22 shooting without a single turnover.

With Mike Conley (questionable) sidelined, the Nuggets’ defense harassed Anthony Edwards, holding him to 5-15 shooting.

The Nuggets now boast an 8-1 record in their last nine games when Jokic scores 35+ points. Meanwhile, Minnesota has lost three in a row for the first time this season.
