Minnesota took a ten-point lead at halftime, playing good defense and keeping the Nuggets under pressure. Without Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ offense looked lost, and very inaccurate. Because of this, the Timberwolves took an easy 10 point lead into the half. However, Denver must’ve made some serious adjustments in the virtual locker room.

In the second half, Minnesota’s offense looked downright miserable. Outscored 39-49 in the second half, Denver managed to take this game into overtime. However, it still took too long for the Nugget’s offense to wake up. They also only managed to score just 15 points in the third quarter.

In OT, the Timberwolves played lights out basketball to keep things out of reach. The combo of Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns proved too much for the defending champs as they win Game 1 on the road.

In terms of player performances, Anthony Edwards earns the game ball here. Overall, he ended the day with 30 points, 6 assists, and a steal. However, he only converted 4-of-12 3PT attempts, but managed to get the job done from the paint. Joining him is teammate Rudy Gobert, who snagged 21 rebounds, along with scoring 13 points. Gobert helped keep several offensive drives alive en route to victory.
