For the fourth time in five years, the Denver Nuggets are moving on to the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
Denver eliminated the Minnesota Timberwolves with a dramatic 112-109 victory in Game 5 of their first round series on Tuesday night. Up next: a seven-game series against the Phoenix Suns, who knocked off the Los Angeles Clippers roughly an hour later to win their series 4-1.
The series is set to begin Saturday, with Game 1 inside Ball Arena in downtown Denver at a time to be determined. If Atlanta-Boston goes to a Game 7, the Nuggets’ second-round opener will start at 8 p.
