The Denver Nuggets<\/a> are proving why they are the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

The Nuggets lead their first-round series over the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> 2-0 after their 122-113 win on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The Nuggets were up by as many as 21 points, but the Timberwolves outscored Denver 40-23 in the third quarter thanks to shooting 81% from the floor in the frame. Suddenly, Minnesota had a two-point lead entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

But Denver came out firing to begin the final 12 minutes. A four-point play on their first shot attempt kickstarted an 8-0 run, all eight of which were scored by Michael Porter Jr. Both teams exchanged buckets for the next several minutes, and Minnesota was even able to regain a one-point lead, but that\u2019s as far as they would go.<\/p>\n

Upon Minnesota going up 99-98, the Nuggets answered with a 15-4 run to go up double digits once again. Every time Minnesota tried to spark a comeback, the Nuggets halted it quickly.<\/p>\n

Oh, and Minnesota bettors, look away – Kentavious Caldwell-Pope knocked down two free throws to put Denver up nine with 11.0 seconds to go, and the Timberwolves turned the inbound pass over – the Nuggets covered the 8.5.<\/p>\n

Denver shot 59% from the floor in the fourth compared to Minnesota’s 41%.<\/p>\n

Jamal Murray led the way with a 40-piece for the Nuggets (Anthony Edwards had 41 in a losing effort), as Nikola Jokic added 27 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Porter scored 13 of his 16 points in the fourth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a disappointing night for Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored just 10 points on 3-for-12 shooting – in the regular season, he put up 20.8 per night on 49.5% from the floor.<\/p>\n

The series now moves<\/a> to Minnesota for the next two games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
