The Denver Nuggets lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 98-90, in Game 7. It was a valiant effort. Denver battled back from an early 0-2 series deficit after dropping the first two games at home to extend the series to seven games. They’re now eliminated from the 2024 NBA postseason. No team has repeated as champions since the 2018 Golden State Warriors.
“That was a hell of a series. They gave us all we could handle, and they wound up winning Game 7 on our court, which is a tough one to swallow,” said head coach Michael Malone. “We’ll be back.”
Jamal Murray led Denver in scoring with 35 points.
“It’s back to being the hunter. It’s back to fighting for something with a different type of edge,” Murray said after the game.
