Nikola Jokiu0107 and the Denver Nuggets now have a very clear path to the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
The Nuggets flew past the Minnesota Timberwolves late to grab a 116-107 win at Ball Arena on Wednesday night in Denver. The win broke a tie between the two franchises in the Western Conference standings, and gives the Nuggets the edge for the top seed in the playoffs next week.
The two teams were locked in a battle for much of the night. It wasn’t until Jokic and the Nuggets finally erupted on a 13-3 run midway through the fourth quarter that they were finally able to mount a double digit lead.
