EDenver Nuggets 99-106 Minnesota Timberwolves
Playing at home at Ball Arena in Game 1, the defending NBA champions, Denver Nuggets, were disappointed when they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 99-106.
Nikola Jokic (32 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists) played excellently as usual and Michael Porter Jr. (20 points, 6 rebounds) and Jamal Murray (17 points, 4 assists) also made contributions, but compared to Anthony Edwards (43 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks) and the other “satellites” on the other side. Front lines like Karl-Anthony Towns (20 points), Mike Conley (14 points, 10 assists) or Naz Reid (16 points), their efforts are not enough to make a difference, so they have to accept it. “The Wolves” took a 1-0 lead in this series.
