Jamal Murray didn’t score in the first half, Jokić shot 5-14 and the Nuggets are up by 4 at the half.
Gotta keep finding and feeding Michael Porter Jr and have that same effort and energy from the second unit.
Anthony Edwards has 25 points and the rest of the Wolves are 6-27 – 8:10 PM

Denver leads this one 44-40 at the half. Anthony Edwards with 25 of Minnesota’s points. Don’t know if everyone else it too amped, trying too hard or what, but everyone not named Ant is 6-for-27 – 8:04 PM

This is one of the most insane first-half statistical distributions I’ve ever seen.
Anthony Edwards has 25. Karl Towns has 9.
No other Timberwolves has made more than one shot.
And it’s a close game! pic.twitter.com/2WHZQRVcI0 – 8:04 PM

The Timberwolves begin the game ahead 12-2. Anthony Edwards with 9 points early. Getting off to a good start was paramount for them. They’ve done that. – 7:12 PM

It is extremely rare that the Wolves don’t have Jaden McDaniels guard the point of attack. But they’re opting to put him on Michael Porter Jr., Anthony Edwards gets the Jamal Murray assignment. – 7:09 PM

Jamal Murray has been “in and out” of Nuggets practices this week, Michael Malone says. Denver’s being cautious, but the sense around the team is Murray’s calf is feeling a lot better. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been a full participant. – 2:35 PM

Michael Malone: (The Lakers) chose to double-team Nikola the entirety of the series. They chose to blitz Jamal Murray the entirety of the series with the second unit. This will be a different series.

This is the series. Right here.
I asked Michael Malone about Minnesota rebounding nearly 40% of their own misses in the halfcourt against Phoenix in the first round.
“If we don’t rebound, then we won’t get out and run, and that’s when we’re going to have a hard time scoring.” pic.twitter.com/xHXteLOHuu – 4:53 PM
