It's been a wild second round between the Western Conference's No. 2 and 3 seeds.
Minnesota stole the first two games on the road to build an early 2-0 lead. The second one was especially shocking. The Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets by 26 points on their home floor, a shocking outcome for a team with one of the best homecourt advantages in the league.
Down 2-0 with their backs against the wall, the Nuggets delivered a statement victory in Game 3. Minnesota had a chance to put the series away, but Denver stole the show in front of the Target Center fans, 117-90. Jamal Murray delivered a masterful first half performance and put up 18 of his 24 points before the break, and Nikola Jokić took over the reins in the second half and finished one assists shy of a triple-double with 24 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks.
Stealing Game 4 on the road would help Denver reclaim homecourt advantage as the higher seed; Game 5 and a potential Game 7 would both be at Ball Arena in front of Denver's fans.
It's a huge night for both teams. In fact, there's a good chance this game decides the series. Who knows, though... the second round has been anything but predictable. A team has yet to win on their home floor, for goodness sake!
