After getting themselves into a two-game hole at home, the Nuggets emerged with a vengeance in Minneapolis. They dominated Game 3 and beat the Timberwolves 115-107 in Game 4 despite an all-star-worthy performance from Anthony Edwards, tying the series up.
Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon combined for 62 points in the win, and Jamal Murray had 19 of his own, including a half-time buzzer-beating three from half-court. The Nuggets offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting 57% from the field and 45% from beyond the arc.
Young phenom Anthony Edwards had a game-leading 44-point performance while the four other starters combined for 49. Karl-Anthony Towns had a double-double of 11 points and 14 rebounds, but no one else was able to score more than 15 points.
The Timberwolves will need Towns to perform better than 5-for-18 from the field if they want to steal Game 5 in Colorado. Despite the road team winning every game so far in the series, the defending champs have the chance to take their first lead with a win at home.
