Game Preview
Losing the first contest of a seven-game series isn’t tragic for the road team. The lower seed needs to win just one road game to grab home-court advantage, and there are four chances to get that win.
However, if the Minnesota Timberwolves play like they did in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series against Denver, the Nuggets will have no trouble advancing.
Denver started fast and finished strong in a 109-80 win on Sunday night, and will try to take a 2-0 series lead Wednesday night at home.
