Why does Conley shoot his floaters with his right hand?

I keep seeing him do it this playoffs.

It's obviously far from over, but this version of Minnesota looks extremely scary. Frankly, they look like the Celtics with their ability to completely shut down the other team and go off offensively.

Including the last possession keep on dribbling and the clock runs out without a shot

Towns (7) and Gobert (7) have 14 rebounds already. Q1.

Minnesota needs a timeout.

They are all over the place.

This Nuggets lineup is working well. Lots of spacing.

G: J Murray
G: KCP
F: C Braun
F: MPJ
C: Jokic

Slid MPJ up to PF. Extra speed. More driving. More handles. More transition. More on-ball pressure defense. T'Wolves rattled.

I wouldn't have taken Jokic out here. They had something working there. They should have ridden it for another 3-4 minutes. See if it continues to work.

A Gordon in for Jokic.

Wow, shocked they didn't double that. You can't let Naz Reid have that many dribbles and that much time to back down Jamal Murray in the low post. Too much of a size mismatch.

Jamal Murray overall has stunk this postseason. Regardless who wins I still feel Denver will win at home if they drop this one, they are as vulnerable as ever with this version of Murray

Murray is ultimately the key. In the past three wins, he has looked great and has been a force offensively both with scoring and playmaking for others. In the two losses and tonight, he was awful offensively, couldn't get anything to go in, and he was clearly out of rhythm.

Jokic will get his no matter what, but I think if you limit Murray that takes away a lot of their offense, as the rest of the Nuggets are only complementary offensive players and won't kill you.

Perhaps something for us to keep in mind.

You would think they would lose this series with him playing like this. I expected more out of Denver in a close out game. You never know what can happen in a Game 7.

Anthony Edwards has been playing good defense on J Murray.

Great effort by Towns on offensive glass.
