The Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off an extraordinary comeback, clinching the NBA West Semifinals series 4-3 against the reigning champions, the Denver Nuggets. This victory, where the Wolves stun Nuggets, was filled with drama and tension and culminated in a hilarious exchange between Wolves star guard Anthony Edwards and basketball legend Charles Barkley. When Barkley mentioned it had been nearly two decades since he last visited Minnesota, Edwards quipped, “Bring ya a**,” inviting the 61-year-old to experience the state firsthand.

The game itself was nothing short of spectacular. In one of the most memorable playoff deciders, the Nuggets surged to a 20-point lead early on, with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic dazzling the home crowd at Ball Arena. However, the Timberwolves clawed their way back, narrowing the gap to a single point by the end of the third quarter.
The final quarter was a nail-biter. The Timberwolves, led by Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, and Karl-Anthony Towns, seized control. Contributions from Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid ensured the Nuggets’ downfall, with Minnesota securing a 98-90 victory, sealing their place in history.
After the game, Nuggets head coach Michael Malone was visibly frustrated when asked about the stunning loss. His terse response, “Next question, man,” reflected his disappointment. He didn’t hold back, calling the queries “stupid-a** questions” and lamenting the end of the season.
“Next question, man. The season’s over. That’s what’s hard. Fk being up 20. The season’s over. You don’t understand that. The season’s over, it’s hard. Stupid-a questions,” Malone vented.
