The Timberwolves struggled to stop Jokic, but they did everything they could to counteract his dominance. Minnesota’s defense focused heavily on him, yet he kept finding ways to score. Despite his outstanding performance, Jokic couldn’t carry his team to victory, as the Nuggets couldn’t hold on in the final minutes of the game.

The Timberwolves made some key plays down the stretch. Players like Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns stepped up, hitting crucial shots when it mattered most.
