NBA World Reacts to Timberwolves' Unbelievable Lockup Defense on Nuggets
The Timberwolves literally killed the Nuggets in their Game 2 win with some incredible defense and the NBA world is on the upswing.
The things the T-Wolves were doing on D was out of control.
Another highlight was keeping Jamal Murray 3-18 from the field.
Nikola Jokic was also limited to 16 points and 5-13 shooting from the field and went 0-1 from three-point range.
In two games against the Wolves, the big man has averaged 5.5 tackles per game and has a plus-minus of 28. Yes.

As expected, Anthony Edwards was the highlight of the Wolves upset, recording 27 points and seven assists.
Game 3 in Minnesota will be very interesting. Denver better bring their A-Game or they will risk a sweep.
