Minnesota Timberwolves eliminate Denver Nuggets from NBA Playoffs

The Timberwolves advance to the Western Conference Semifinals for the 3rd straight season! They will take on the Spurs in Round 2. NBA Playoffs presented by Google

So much of the NBA playoffs is about how many of the other teams questions can you answer and how many can they answer of yours. The bigger problem becomes when your opponent is capable of adding more questions as the season has goes on.

The #Timberwolves just won a series against a really good team while playing without their top three guards from the beginning of the series. #NBAPlayoffs

The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. The NBA playoffs provide this in a way no other league can. The series highs and lows, slow deaths, and elimination games make this so much fun.

Tonight went about as good as you can imagine for the Knicks. Absolutely dominated early on and coasted to one of the most lopsided victories in NBA Playoff history. Got their main players off the floor with under 30 minutes across the board.

Howl at it #Timberwolves .. you certainly deserved to move on in the #NBAPlayoffs … great win #Wolves 🐺
