On Saturday night, Ayo Dosunmu unexpectedly led the Timberwolves to a 112-96 victory over the Nuggets, scoring a career-high 43 points off the bench in the absence of Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo. Despite losing key players, Minnesota’s bench contributed significantly, with 36 of their 50 points coming from reserves. The Timberwolves’ defense stifled Denver in the second half, limiting them to 9 of 37 shooting. The Nuggets now face elimination, struggling to regain their winning form as Jokić and Murray falter under pressure.
