The Denver Nuggets<\/a> had to throw the kitchen sink at the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5, but it was worth it as they won, 112-109, to win the series and move on to the next round.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Nuggets will now await the winner<\/a> of the No. 4 Phoenix Suns and No. 5 Los Angeles Clippers series, where the Suns are up 3-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Desperation was high for the Timberwolves and that was apparent all game long, as they weren\u2019t going out without a fight. The game was tied 102 apiece with 1:46 left to go in the fourth quarter, and no team could pull away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That is until Nikola Jokic hit back-to-back shots to make it a 109-104 game. The first was a valiant effort, tipping the ball back twice on an original missed floater by him to give the Nuggets the slight edge. Then, he hit a patented four-foot hook shot following a miss from Anthony Edwards on the other end.<\/p>\n

It was also an and-one opportunity after Karl-Anthony Towns fouled out of the game, and Jokic would hit it to give the Nuggets a five-point cushion. Towns left the game with 26 points on 9-of-17 from the field with 11 rebounds and three assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a lead they wouldn\u2019t relinquish and they move on to continue their journey toward the Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Timberwolves<\/a> didn\u2019t lay down, though, with less than 30 seconds left. Mike Conley buried a 28-foot three to pull within two points. Edwards did the same with a seven-footer falling after Bruce Brown (14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists) brought the Nuggets back to a four-point lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They even had a chance to tie the game and send it to overtime with 2.5 seconds left down three points. But Edwards\u2019 shot missed and the Nuggets went into their celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jokic finished the game with 28 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists for an impressive triple-double. He also had two steals and two blocks on the defensive end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jamal Murray also dropped 35 points to lead the Nuggets, which included 5-of-9 made three-pointers and a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Minnesota, Edwards finished with 29 points on 13-of-26 from the field, though he missed all six of his three-point attempts. He also tallied eight rebounds and seven assists with two blocks on the other end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert fouled out for the Wolves as well, finishing with 16 points and 15 rebounds for a double-double.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Nuggets move on, the Timberwolves will go back to the drawing board to see how they can push further into the playoffs next season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
