Jamal Murray buzzer-beater caps Nuggets' 20-point rally vs. Lakers
LeBron misses a wide-open, uncontested 3-point shot in the closing seconds of a tie game, only to have the #nuggets Jamal Murray hit a highly contested baseline fadeaway over Anthony Davis at the buzzer as Denver goes up 2-0 in the series and wins their 10th straight against the #lakers. Home teams are now 11-0 with a couple crazy finishes yesterday. #nba #sportsonleo
The chalk looks to continue in the #nba playoffs as the home team #cavaliers are up big in the 4th quarter vs the #magic. Things are much different in New York, however, as the #knicks trail the visiting #76ers 65-62 halfway through the 3rd quarter. Later it's #lakers/#nuggets with Denver trying to continue it's dominance of LeBron. #sportsonleo
It's the final day of the #nba season with all sorts of seeding still undecided. #wolves need to beat the #suns and have either #thunder or #nuggets lose to get the 1 seed. Suns need to beat Wolves and have #pelicans lose to the #lakers to get the 6 seed. Too many scenarios to name. Crazy day! #sportsonleo
#wolves run out of gas late and fall to the #nuggets at altitude. Denver now controls their own destiny. Win the last two and they're the 1 seed. Wolves now need to win their last two games at home to assure the 2 spot. On a positive note, they should be back at full strength shortly as KAT is about ready to return. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves go down 21 pts early to the #wizards but storm back to win going away behind a career high 51 pts from Anthony Edwards. #nuggets also won tonight setting up a huge game tmrw night in Denver. A win and the Wolves will have a 1 game lead on both Denver and OKC and own all tiebreakers. A loss could drop them to the 3rd seed. Gonna be a big one. #nba #sportsonleo
#nuggets lost to the #clippers last night which moves the #wolves to 1st place all by themselves in the West with 6 games to play. #nba #sportsonleo Race continues to heat up.
Jokic faz triplo-duplo, mas Nuggets perdem para os Clippers em Los Angeles
First place in the West is on the line tonight in Denver when the 50-22 #wolves meet the 51-22 #nuggets. They split the two games in Mpls and they have tonight's game and one more in Denver next week. If the Wolves win at least one of those two they will hold the tiebreakers in the West. Should be a good one! #nba #sportsonleo
That worked. Now the second half...
#wolves and OKC have identical 50-22 records but the Wolves hold the tiebreaker. Both teams are now 1 game behind Denver in the loss column, pending tonight's Denver/Phoenix result. Guess who the Wolves get on Friday? Yup, #nuggets in Denver. Crazy race for the top seed in the West. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves take care of business 106-91 over Detroit. The #thunder slip, however, losing 132-126 to the #rockets in OT. That gives MN & OKC identical 50-22 records and moves the Wolves back into 2nd in the West because they hold the tiebreaker. They are both now 1 game back of Denver in the loss column, pending the Denver/Phoenix result later. Guess who the Wolves get on Friday? Yup, the #nuggets in Denver. Crazy race for the top seed in the West. #nba #sportsonleo
All 3 teams at the top of the West are back in action tonight. #wolves get the #pistons, #nuggets get the #suns, and #thunder get the #rockets. All are at home and all should win, but Houston has been flying and Phoenix has a couple superstars so you never know. That's why they play the games. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves try to bounce back from a tough loss to the #nuggets tonight against the #cavaliers. They'll get some help in the lineup as Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert are back from injury. Close one at half right now as Cleveland leads by 3, 49-46. #nba #sportsonleo #ant only has 7 pts though so expecting a big 2nd half...
#wolves trailed by 15 at halftime, giving up 70 pts, but roar back in the 3rd quarter. ANT had a wide open look to send the game into OT but came up short as the Wolves fall to the #nuggets 115-112. Considering they were missing all 3 big men against the odds on favorite to win his 3rd MVP (Jokic) and were on the second night of a back to back, it was a hell of an effort. Unfortunately just not enough gas in the tank. These two teams will meet twice more this season in Denver so it's not over, but the Wolves need to get healthy as soon as possible. #nba #sports
#wolves take on the #nuggets at home in a couple hours. Big game as the winner takes over 1st place in the West again. Could be an uphill battle tonight for the Wolves as not only did they play last night, but KAT is still out, Gobert is probably out, and Naz Reid took a head shot last night and missed the 2nd half so he could be out too. That said, the Wolves still have #ant, who these days, can damn near win the game by himself. Gonna be entertaining either way. #nba #sports
#wolves face the #jazz in a rematch from Saturday. Jazz up by two in the 2nd quarter. Not a must-win for the Wolves or anything, but with only 15 games left in the season, including 3 more against the #nuggets, these are the kinds of games the Wolves need to win if they want any hope of the top seed in the jam packed Western Conference. Hopefully they take care of business before taking on the aforementioned Nuggets tomorrow night at home. #nba #sports
