Nuggets' Shooting Struggles Cost Them in Game 4
Denver's Offense Stalls in Loss to Timberwolves
The Denver Nuggets have been riding high on a wave of momentum in the Western Conference Semifinals, but their shooting struggles in Game 4 brought them crashing back down to earth. After shooting over 50% in their last three games, all Denver wins, they were held to a playoff-low 30.4% overall and a dismal 19.4% (7-for-36) from three-point range. The see-saw nature of the series continues, with the Nuggets now facing a must-win situation in Game 5 on Friday night.
Jokic Shines Despite Team's Offensive Woes
40 Points, 13 Assists in Game 5 Victory
Despite the team's shooting woes, Nikola Jokic continued to shine for the Nuggets. The reigning MVP scored 40 points and added 13 assists to lead Denver to a 112-97 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5. Jokic was 15-of-26 from the field and hit a pair of three-pointers. He also grabbed 13 rebounds, narrowly missing out on a triple-double.
